A MESSAGE FROM YOUR AE

pepperOK, it's a bit cheesy but I thought my 8 week old puppy, Pepper, would get your attention. Yes, she sometimes has better hair days than me!

Our main method of communication to our members is through this, our monthly newsletter and our website www.mountainmetro.com. I have been your AE for one year! What a busy year and it does not ever slow down. Read below about the success of our second year of CMAS classes and all of the initiatives related to the Inaugural. If you have suggestions about the newsletter format, would like it to be on paper rather than via email...let us know.

We are now at 219 REALTOR® members and 36 Affiliate members. Looking forward to another great year.

  • Our Community Outreach project this year is the "Are You Smarter Than Your Broker" Contest. We will have the final "round" of this contest at the Inaugural. Watch for upcoming emails about the contest.

 

 

CMAS - CERTIFIED MOUNTAIN AREA SPECIALIST

We will be sending the certificates for these classes. Please keep track of your education certificates and CE credits.  

Thank you to:

Andrew McWilliams for initiating the CMAS program and coordinating and marketing it for this year.

Margie Maki for arranging all of the Instructors for the course.

Tom Hushen for creating the CMAS website.

Tania Leider announces the latest addition

twins

Upcoming MMAR members - Angela & Julia Leider

and future FIRE Inc. talent.
 

Angela and Julia Leider were born at Swedish Medical Center in Englewood on 7/3/2010 at 18:03 and 18:04 pm at 3 lbs 9 oz and 2 lbs 15 oz., at 31 weeks, after a 5 week hospital bedrest and a long sensitive pregnancy.
 
The girls are now 36 weeks -or 5 weeks old and weigh 5 lbs 12 oz and 4 lbs 12 oz. Both are healthy and are doing well.
They are expected to come home from the NICU within the next 1-2 weeks.
 
Since we will be on the go 24/7 for a while (at least for the next 3 months), until we figure things out, I would like to ask members to email instead of call- to ensure a timely response. Phone calls will be the last to be returned. I appreciate your understanding during this time of "expansion".
