A series of tools and technology events designed to develop your technical skills and knowledge is being offered this fall through the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA). Come to one or more of the six events that comprise Emerge: Moving you Forward with the Tools for Tomorrow.

This dynamic series is a fast-paced opportunity for learning and sharing that aims to inform REALTORS® about the latest strategies, tools and technologies in the real estate industry. Top performers and industry experts assemble at each event to share insights on a variety of strategies and technology topics. The sessions feature a consumer panel of buyers and sellers plus a panel discussion on electronic signatures and the agreement of purchase and sale. Breakout sessions and a networking reception are also part of the day.
