Real Estate Committee

  • Check out the new ABI World to view the upgraded Real Estate Committee section. The new “committees” area of the web site allocates space for each ABI committee. From the home page, click on “About ABI” and then “Committees” to see all of ABI’s committees. In the left-hand navigation in blue, click on “Real Estate.”

    Once you click on the Real Estate committee, you will notice that the left-hand navigation in blue has changed again. Within the main page, you will see a listing of the committee chairs, the committee listserves (where you can join or view the Real Estate committee online discussion group) and agendas for any upcoming meetings of the Real Estate Committee. In the left-hand navigation you will note that beneath “Real Estate” there are three new options: Minutes, Newsletter and Educational Materials. The “Minutes” page provides minutes from past Real Estate Committee meetings. The “Newsletter” page provides all back issues of the Real Estate electronic newsletter. The “Educational Materials” page provides educational materials from past conferences that address real estate issues.
