Looking Ahead to an Exciting 2025 for Georgia RRC

As we prepare to step into 2025, the Georgia Residential Real Estate Council (GA RRC) is gearing up for a year filled with opportunity, learning, and connection. With a robust calendar of events and programs, we’re dedicated to empowering our members to achieve new heights in their real estate careers.

We’re kicking off the year in February with a Member Meeting and Board Meeting in Atlanta. This will be a fantastic opportunity to network, share insights, and learn from an inspiring guest speaker. The energy and ideas exchanged here will set the tone for an impactful year ahead.

In April, our highly anticipated Negotiating class will take center stage. Negotiation is a cornerstone of success in real estate, and this course will provide essential strategies to navigate even the most complex transactions confidently.

September brings another highlight—the Divorce Certification course. With family law increasingly intersecting with real estate, this certification equips members to serve clients with expertise and sensitivity during transitional times.

Throughout the year, we’ll host regular Zoom meetings to ensure our members stay engaged, informed, and supported. These virtual sessions will cover a variety of topics to keep everyone sharp and inspired.

With every event and initiative, GA RRC is committed to fostering growth, building connections, and ensuring our members remain at the forefront of the industry. Here’s to an incredible 2025 filled with opportunity, collaboration, and success!
