Preparing for a Client Meeting
Before your first appointment with a client, there is still plenty of work Realtors® must accomplish. You need to be a master of market statistics, be proficient navigating the multiple listing service, develop a trusted network of finance professionals, and more.

FOREWARN®
FOREWARN® is a complimentary benefit provided by the Virginia REALTORS®. FOREWARN® enables Realtors® to verify identity, search for criminal histories, and validate information provided by clients — all from just a phone number or name. You can begin properly and safely planning for showings with a higher level of intelligence and confidence by activating your account today!
Home Construction Service Providers
Selling new homes can be a different experience from working with existing homes. Being a Realtor® in today’s real estate market means understanding all the different types of real estate transactions, including new home construction.
Mortgage Loan Service Providers
A mortgage loan is a loan used to finance the purchase of real estate, most commonly a home. The process generally involves checking your finances, choosing a mortgage type and term, researching lenders, getting preapproved, finding a home, applying for the mortgage, undergoing underwriting and appraisal, preparing for closing, and closing on the home. Partner yourself with one of NVAR’s expert mortgage lenders.

The National Association of REALTORS® Library & Archives offers a variety of research services and thousands of print and digital resources for use by NAR members. Here you can borrow e-books or audiobooks at no cost!
