Real Estate Today Radio now airing in St. George/Cedar City


In January of last year, the National Association of REALTORS® announced the national launch of a weekly two-hour talk radio show, Real Estate Today. I am pleased to inform you that the show is now airing in your local market on 105.7 FM KWBR, Saturday and Sundays from 11-1 p.m. (Sa) 2-5 p.m. (Su)

Real Estate Today aims to build consumer confidence in the market and in the long-term value of real estate; show consumers why REALTORS® are the most credible, trusted source of real estate information; and convince them that using a REALTOR® when buying, selling, or investing in real estate is the smartest decision they can make.

The show offers a number of benefits and opportunities for your local association members. We’ve created a Real Estate Today resource section on REALTOR.org that explains more about the show and can help you explain the benefits of the program to your members.

In addition, I’ve attached some talking points for your reference. You can also listen to any of the past radio shows at www.RETRadio.com.

If you have any questions about the show itself, please contact Stephen Gasque at 202-383-1172 or sgasque@realtors.org.

Best wishes,
Michelle
