Well yesterday was that time of year again. EdCon... The Education Conference put on by the Washington Association of REALTORS. For clock hours its really the best deal in Washington State. Last year I was pretty busy so I didn't get my clock hours in and I'll be honest I did get my back up against the wall this year as my birthday is coming up like tomorrow...
What I found quite interesting was that EdCon really embraced some of the Web 2.0 technologies this year. Many of the speakers were talking about box.net as a way to share and store files. As a real estate company we are actually using it as our Paperless office. The Virtual Office of the Agent... Pili Meyer. She talked about using GotoMeeting and/or GotoWebinar for Broker to Agent communications as well as Agent to Consumer communications...
Gee Dunsten was all about business planning... Awesome stuff on the 5 stages of an agent's business.
1 - Creative Stage
2 - Directing Stage
3 - Delegating Stage
4 - Cooperative Stage
5 - Collaborative Stage...
There was tons of other great stuff however I figured I would drop a quick note while I was still thinking about it.
BTW: Check out our new company we launched last week eXp Realty. We are the World's First Immersive Web 3.0 Real Estate Company :D
