GTAR/NORES Winter Weather Policy
We are in that time of year when
the weather does not always work in our favor; therefore, GTAR/NORES has
established the following inclement weather policy for all education classes at
GTAR (CE, Computer, New Member Orientation, etc.): If Tulsa Public Schools are
closed the day of a scheduled class due to hazardous driving conditions, the
GTAR/NORES class is canceled. Depending on the type of class being canceled,
the class will either be rescheduled for a future date or a full refund will be
issued. In addition, for those of you who live outside the Tulsa area, if
schools in your area are closed the day of class or you are uncomfortable
making the drive, you can still receive a refund, but you MUST call or email us
that day (day of the class). You cannot just be a “no show” and expect a
refund. Please be sure to check one of the local news channels the night before
and/or morning of a scheduled class for school closings.
You Can Take CE Classes Online Anytime!
GTAR is partnered with both McKissock Education and Barnes Real Estate
School to offer you a variety of online continuing education classes to fulfill
your OREC requirements. In addition to CE classes, McKissock
offers a variety of classes for appraisers; Charles Barnes offers the 45 Hour
Post License and 90 Hour Brokers License courses...AND, the 15 hour OREC required
Broker in Charge course is now available online through Charles Barnes. So how does it work?
Simply go to tulsarealtors.com, click on the logos for either school, and
follow the instructions. Any and all classes you take through McKissock and

Effective
February 1, 2013, NORES will Begin Selling the New iBox BT Keybox
iBox
BT is equipped with both Bluetooth® and infrared technologies.
Supra's infrared keys—the ActiveKEY and DisplayKEY—also communicate with the
iBox BT. The price per box will be $110.00 plus tax,
and it will be a warranted product. Although we will not be doing a keybox
exchange at this time, we will be “phasing in” the new iBox BT keyboxes with
the current member inventory prior to an exchange. We have a limited number of iBoxes for sale at the current
price of $90.00 plus tax. After February 1, we will no longer sell the iBox
keybox, but will continue to honor the warranty. If you have a bad/broken iBox, it will be
replaced with another iBox (not an iBox BT).
