Most people "hunker down" when times get tough, but that's no way to grow a business.  Opportunities abound, and now's the perfect time to rethink how you do business to take advantage of those opportunities.  Tough times can be the perfect time to grow your business.  And DAAR is the perfect partner to help you do just that.

March and Spring are just around the corner (hopefully)!  And everything's coming up green at DAAR.  March is Green Month at DAAR, and there's lots of ways to fuel that spring fever:

• Attend the "It's So Easy Being Green" Lunch Matters on 3/3 (Hosted by Repax Inc.)
• Get out and renew connections with friends and colleagues at the Networking Matters on 3/4.  The beer won't be green, but spirits will be bright.
• Attend the "Building Your Business as a Green REALTOR®" Lunch Matters on 3/24(Hosted by Option-1 Title)
• Work on your Green Designation by taking the Green Core Course on 3/10 and 3/11
• Take advantage of our "Green" specials in the DAAR store.  St. Joseph's medals are on sale for $8 in case you have any listings that aren't turning into green in your wallet.  And we have DAAR logo'd short-sleeve polo shirts from Lands End for just $16, in case you're sick of turtle necks and multiple layers.  Both are a 20% savings.

A brand new year is almost upon us.  With it comes an opportunity to re-organize and refresh, to  re-energize business, and to prepare for the impending market rebound.

"Preparing for the Market Rebound" is DAAR's theme for January.  You will find this theme reflected in the January Lunch Matters and Networking Matters classes, special offers in the DAAR store, and in posts to the DAAR website.  More specifically:

DAAR has signed a co-marketing agreement with the Northern Virginia Real Estate Times (NVRE Times), Northern Virginia's only socially networked online newspaper focusing on real estate and the communities of Northern Virginia. Under the terms of the agreement, DAAR members who sign up for the service will be guaranteed that their price will never increase during the life of the agreement.
