New homes have been known to be the easiest “sell” in real estate. And compared to resales, new homes are getting easier to sell every day. In a webinar on Tuesday, April 12, at 8:00 a.m., the founder of New Home Co-broker Academy, David Fletcher, will be sharing ten easy ways to make sales in a way you will never forget. You will learn that new homes are the most accessible homes to find, show and close. The Greater San Diego Association of Realtors (SDAR) hosts the live classroom training at SDAR’S Kearny Mesa offices.
