April 7 – 11, 2013 marked the first time in nearly 20 years, AAR held a convention for Arizona REALTORS®. The AAR Spring Convention took place at the Casino Del Sol in Tucson and featured industry experts from around the state for three days of intense learning, with a little bit of fun ( Read:  REALTOR® karaoke, Mariachi Band, a singing Secretary of State) mixed in.

Here’s what some attendees had to say about the event:

“Good overview of the industry in AZ, legal and legislative issues, and networking.”
“…[T]he fair housing class gave a refresher on what needs to be remembered daily with real life scenarios”
“The class with the ADRE Commissioner and following panel was terrific!”
“I am using the REALTOR® survey at my office meeting tomorrow.”
“I plan to deduct more expenses from my taxes.”
“The quality of the instruction was very good.”
“Truly enjoyed the Video Power Session presented.”
