Welcome

Vermont welcomes Realtors® from the New England region for the 2020 New England Realtors® Conference. Our 2020 NERC event will be held virtually for the first time ever!

We will certainly miss the opportunity to welcome you, in person, to our beautiful state for this year’s conference. When we developed our NERC 2020 logo and the tagline, A Vision for the Future, we had no idea our nation, and our world, would face the challenges of a deadly pandemic. Throughout the past few months, we have learned to employ new technologies, develop better business strategies, and adapt in many other ways to ensure our success as an industry, to strengthen our communities, and to safeguard the health and wellbeing of our families. The vision for our future is unfolding every day, and together we will emerge with the promise of a bright and vibrant future.

Please join us on September 9 for an action-packed virtual event that will include presentations from some of the top leaders in our industry. This is a unique opportunity to participate in NERC in the comfort of your home or office, and at no cost! We hope to see you there!
