THE DERA AMBASSADOR PROGRAM
This program is designed to help welcome new members to DERA. You act as a liaison while making new business contacts and building lasting relationships. Your role is to also be a goodwill representative of DERA. This can include anything from being a greeter at marketing meetings, assisting with DERA events or being a DERA advocate outside in the marketplace. Please call Dave Hickey at 720-240-5650 if you are interested in signing up for this program.

HELPING HANDS PROGRAM
With help from DERA members this program helped people in need living in Douglas or Elbert County with a home improvement plan to improve a family's quality of life. Check back for photos from this program.

Pathways to Professionalism

While the Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice of NAR establishes objective, enforceable ethical standards governing the professional conduct of REALTORS®, it does not address issues of courtesy or etiquette. Read how you can be more professional.
