  New Content on the Channel: Builder-Broker Relations, Market Research, Technology and Ask a MIRM

We have another four great original articles written for the Sales and Marketing Channel. From working with real estate agents to keeping up with Internet marketing to integrating market research with land planning and home design, the new additions offer great tips and resources to help you in your own career.

Ask a MIRM this month is also useful, with Ray Bouléy, MIRM, giving advice on making the most of your MIRM designation. If you have any questions to submit (or know of any that members should be asking themselves), please submit them using the online Ask a MIRM form.

To view the new Channel articles, make sure you are logged into nahb.org, then click any of the links below.

  • Ask a MIRM: Yes, Please Ask a MIRM!, by Ray Bouléy
  • Communication is Key to Working With Realtors®, by Nancy Edmiston
  • Integrating Market Research with Land Planning and Home Design
         by Jerry Costanzo, Dave Clinger and Gary Godden
  • What Star Athletes Can Teach Us About Internet Marketing, by Meredith Oliver

    The Channel is a member benefit that offers numerous articles on 15 different topic areas. This benefit is a great resource for any member trying to get ideas, learn more about a new product or simply to keep up with the latest in new home sales and marketing.

    New, original content is posted at the beginning of each month. Relevant articles that pop up (such as information on the stimulus bill and the newly approved National Green Building Standard) are posted as the news happens.

    If you are interested in writing for the Channel or just have a question, please contact Tamsin Ayre at 800-368-5242 x8673.
