Our new building will be dedicated to giving them the member services they expect along with the technology and educational resources they need to serve consumers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The new building is valued between $11 million and $13 million and will include three auditoriums, several conference rooms, a member lounge, a computer lounge, staff offices, and one custom-designed room for members to meet with clients, take calls, and lead property closings and other types of work. All educational classrooms in the new headquarters will be equipped with video technology.
