As a piggy back to NAR's Right Tools, Right Now program, the Board of Directors has decided to offer some significant cost savings to DAAR members in 2010.

The internet is increasingly a part of everyday life. Research shows more and more consumers are using it in their search for a home. Because more than 80% start their home search by turning to the web, today's real estate agents need to understand available web technologies, how to use them, and the risks associated with their use.
