Prevent Identity Theft!
The current economic crunch creates more risk for all of us!
"Defer, Detect, Defend" - the slogan for the FTC's identity theft initiative.  http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/idtheft/index.html  This website is a one-stop national resource to learn about the crime of identity theft. It provides detailed information to help you  learn how to avoid identity theft – and learn what to do if your identity is stolen.  Businesses can learn how to help their customers deal with identity theft, as well as how to prevent problems in the first place.  Law enforcement can get resources and learn how to help victims of identity theft.  Learn how to acquire a free credit report once per year at http://www.annualcreditreport.com

Fair Housing Courses: 
NYS DOS Approved
 for License Renewal

"The One Test You Don't Want to Fail" - 3 HRS CE
and
"Cover Your Assets" - 7.5 HRS CE

HUD reports that FHEO and its partners in the Fair Housing Assistance Program investigate approximately 10,300 housing discrimination complaints annually.  Last year in NY State they received over 1,400 complaints, and they believe their numbers represent only 1% of actual discriminatory events.

Whether unintentional or subtle, discrimination is against the law.  People have a right to live wherever they can afford to live, and REALTORS® have an obligation to protect that right.  Join us for a few hours to examine and modify your attitudes and behavior to treat all clients & customers equally.
Diversity info and data included!
Be assured you will pass a tester’s investigation with flying colors!

Note: Cover Your Assets includes other areas of risk, too.

                                                             I Love My Backup Box by RedPaw!
Treat yourself with a business gift that's a NO-BRAINER for backing up your computer.  I bought one, and in less than 1 minute the thing was plugged in and working.  No scheduling, no buttons to set, no technical knowledge needed.  All you do is plug it in.  Amazing!!   It backs up everything and gives you the ability to fully restore your entire computer system, retaining all files, data, applications, licenses and activations including Windows itself - even customized desktop settings and passwords.  There's a home office version (that's what I have) and a mobile version.  Check it out at http://shop.redpawsystems.com/?Click=251
