Greetings to all!
Here I am, waiting to board another plane for another adventure! I could not ask for a better job; traveling to interesting places, meeting new foks and greeting familiar acquaintances!
Speaking of which… I was coming back from the NAREB Mid-Winter Conference in Fort Lauderdale (by the way, my invitation was much appreciated, and I had a great experience interacting with well-versed and experienced brokers!), on my way to Orlando for a couple of days of R&R, and the shuttle from the airport to hotel had us all packed in – sardine style! To my delight, I found myself surrounded by several Keller Williams brokers from five different states! They were discussing their upcoming National Convention and how real estate was changing in their areas. I just could not contain myself! I introduced myself and began the inquiry of where are you from, how large is your office, what is the primary real estate service that you provide and so on… (My mother is a therapist and has taught me well on the “This Is Your Life survey”!) I had a captive and captivated audience, so I proceeded to ask if they’ve used BidSelect, are they aware of a cooperative sale, are they active in REO listings and who with and how are the technology products they use working for them? After giving a brief synopsis of BidSelect, HomeTelos, HomeTracker and First Preston HT’s services for REOs, I received quite a lot of positive inquiries about them all and handed out quite a lot of cards! Naturally, I collected as many cards as were available. What an exciting and impromptu class I had! I could do this for a lifetime!!!!
Well, I am in another airport, leaving from my mini getaway and recharged for my adventures in Tennessee! I have two upcoming HUD seminars — Nashville on the 26th and Memphis on the 27th.
Until next time, I’m back on the road.
