Use this Downtime to Up Your RPR Skills

By now, you have undoubtedly been affected by COVID-19, commonly referred to as coronavirus. The term "social distancing" is now part of your vocab. News, questions and guidelines are changing and being updated by the hour.

If you have children, they're now staying at home. If you go out frequently, you're now staying at home. As a REALTOR, you're probably used to working remotely. However, going into the office is most likely not an option for the time being. You're essentially landlocked... and staying at home.

Making the Best of a Tough Situation

It's a new normal for sure and RPR hopes you stay safe and healthy while we all cope with the situation. And yet, perhaps something positive can come from all this "at home" time. You can spend more time with family and loved ones. You can catch up on reading, to-do lists and get a jump on spring cleaning.

You can also work on your business goals and optimizing your workflow. RPR has some suggestions that might help you take advantage of this sudden time on your hands.

Now's a great opportunity to sharpen your skills and become much more familiar with the industry's most powerful real estate data tool. Use your time wisely, absorb as much RPR knowledge as you can, and you'll be ready for when your customers and clients are ready.
