It is better to give than to receive. This is one of the philosophies of CAREF (Chicago Association of REALTORS® Education Foundation). It is amazing what a group of likeminded people can develop when they are in the business of giving and see that those around them are in need. In 2008 CAREF members knew that the REALTOR® members of the Chicago Association of REALTORS® where in need of some financial relief as they experience a change in today’s real estate market. It was natural for us to decide to fund the continuing education courses that our members need in order to practice real estate. Until April 15, 2009 members of the Chicago Association of REALTORS® can complete twelve hours of continuing education FREE of charge. But, we didn’t stop there. In addition to insuring you can meet the education requirements to renew your real estate license we also, are encouraging members to apply for one of our numerous scholarships:

Designation or Certification Scholarship

Higher Education Scholarship

Pre and Post License Scholarship

Today is the day to take action. Register to complete your CE classes and while you are at it apply for a scholarship. Your actions will save you money.
