Being a successful Realtor® requires an array of skills, and leadership is undoubtedly one of those. NAR Leadership Week 2025, taking place August 10-15, is an opportunity for industry professionals to enhance their leadership skills and broaden their professional horizons.

While our future board members and officers will be attending the Leadership Summit in Chicago, there are several ways for local Realtors® in Lee County to engage meaningfully from home. Check out how you can make the most of NAR Leadership Week 2025.

Register for a continuing education course.

One of the simplest yet most effective ways to participate in NAR Leadership Week 2025 is by enrolling in a continuing education (CE) course. These courses are designed to sharpen your skills and keep you informed about the latest industry trends and regulations.

Whether you are interested in marketing strategies or legal compliance, courses that suit your needs are available.

Become an Accredited Buyer’s Representative.

Consider taking the next step in your professional journey by becoming an Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR). This designation boosts your credibility and equips you with specialized skills to better serve your clients. By earning this accreditation, you demonstrate your commitment to excellence and leadership in the real estate industry.

Host a workshop.

Organizing a workshop is a good way to share your knowledge and connect with your community. You can invite participants to learn about the ins and outs of the home buying and selling process or delve into other relevant real estate topics.

This is not only an opportunity to position yourself as a thought leader but also a chance to build valuable relationships with potential clients and peers.

Make your open house an event.

Transform a standard open house into a memorable event. Consider adding live demonstrations, Q&A sessions or a local vendor showcase to attract more visitors. By creating an engaging experience, you’re more likely to leave a lasting impression and generate leads.

Refresh your online presence.

Take this week as an opportunity to give your online presence a makeover. Update your website with recent testimonials, new listings or informative blog posts.

Enhance your social media channels by creating engaging content, such as Reels or TikTok videos that provide insider views of your daily work life or tours of new listings. A strong online presence helps you reach a wider audience and establish your brand.

Create a community mailer.

Introduce yourself to a new area by crafting a community mailer. This is an ideal way to announce your services, share your expertise and invite residents to upcoming events. A well-designed mailer can increase your visibility and help forge new community connections.
