Jen Alvarenga’s first foray into real estate occurred when she was attending Carleton University, in Ottawa, as an international student from Honduras. Instead of buying a car with the money her father had given her, she decided to buy a condo. It was 2005 and she hasn’t looked back since. And, along the way, she was fortunate to have several mentors who guided her career.
To learn a little bit more about Jen’s first purchase and her mentors, we invite you to join to the College Alumni Program. Jen is this month’s featured alumnus.
The alumni program has a dedicated, members-only website that includes features:
• discussion boards; most recent discussion board is Share your top 3 open house tips
• links to real-estate specific media
• online members’ directory
• free audio podcasts; most recent topics include—Being Responsible for Your Success, Choosing the ‘Right’ Brokerage, and How to Build a Successful Real Estate Team
• factsheets on select topics (e.g., what to include in a listing presentation, successful negotiation tips, and top 10 reasons consumers should hire a REALTOR®)
The website also features networking events where members can reconnect with old classmates and instructors, and meet new colleagues. The next event is on May 18, 2016.
