RAGFL Honored for Best Education Program in Florida!

RAGFL members and staff left as a proud bunch at this year's Florida Association of REALTORS® (FAR) 90th Annual Convention & Trade Expo held last month at the Westin Diplomat Resort & Spa in Hollywood. RAGFL's Professional Development Committee took home one of the event's high honors. In the Mega-Board category, RAGFL won the Education Program Award for Overall Achievement. This award means that the committee's dedication to bringing a year's worth of quality education to the RAGFL membership was recognized by FAR as the BEST in the state! Please take time to congratulate your dedicated and hard-working RAGFL volunteers for receiving the accolades they so deserve!

Professional Dress Policy

'Dress for Success' is the RAGFL Education dress policy. At all RAGFL education offerings, unless advertised otherwise, proper business attire is required - no flip flops, shorts, t-shirts, hats, exposed midriffs, exercise clothing, casual jeans.

Attendees who are dressed inappropriately can be denied access at the discretion of the Instructor, Speaker, Volunteer Monitor and/or Staff. You are a real estate Professional - Dress for Success!

Continuing Education Course Policy

RAGFL's real estate school offers CE courses that are regulated by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR).

DBPR requires that CE classes start on time, students arrive on time and students attend all advertised hours of the class. Late arrivals and those who do not complete the entire course hours will not receive CE credit.

Registration may not be transferred from one person to another. If a registrant cannot attend the class/event, the amount paid by the registrant may be refunded only if the registrant's written cancellation notice is received by Registrar by the published refund deadline date or 24 hours before the start of the course, whichever occurs first. Refunds or credits will not be made if notice is received after that time/date and may be subject to a cancellation fee. Notice for cancellation may be sent by fax to Education - 954-568-9695, by mail to RAGFL c/o Education or by e-mail to Education@R-World.com. Presentation of classes/events may be postponed, rescheduled or cancelled. If such action is taken, registrants will be notified by phone, fax, e-mail or US mail, and RAGFL will provide a full refund of paid tuition/registration fees. Expenses incurred by the registrant, including but not limited to transportation, lodging and meals, are the sole responsibility of the registrant.

Because seating is limited, a $25 seat deposit is required to secure your seat for some free classes. That deposit is returned to you upon attendance or with 24 hours cancellation notice.

No personal or business solicitation will be allowed onsite before, during or after RAGFL-hosted events. Distribution of marketing materials is prohibited.

Staff and/or instructors reserve the right to collect/remove/destroy unauthorized materials found at event site. Thank you for your cooperation.
