In the October Illinois REALTOR® we debut a fresh look for the magazine with new departments designed to give the hard-working, on-the-go Illinois REALTOR® practical business ideas and informed legal and legislative analysis.

The magazine is quarterly and in between these issues a lot is going on in the industry that will affect members of the Illinois Association of REALTORS®. That’s why we’re publishing a new digital-only publication twice a year to share news and more in-depth coverage via video. Share the tips and show the videos at your next sales meeting!

Here’s what you’ll find in the August Illinois REALTOR® Digital Extra:

• Build Your Pipeline in the Off-Season − Tips for keeping your business flowing all year long
• IAR Legislative Update − Video by IAR lobbyists highlighting issues of interest to Illinois REALTORS® from the spring session of the Illinois General Assembly, plus a look ahead to veto session which starts Oct. 25
• Illinois Housing Market Forecast for the Second Half of 2011 − Two-part video series with University of Illinois economist Dr. Geoffrey J.D. Hewings
• Contact Relationship Management − Strategies from IAR Convention speaker Verl Workman for how to make your database work for you no matter what system you use
