Our first day at National Association of Realtors®  (NAR) in San Diego ended with tired and sore feet and a wealth of information.  I went with Marge Clark, another agent from the Sun City Grand office of Ken Meade Realty. Marge is one of the ten finalists for the NAR Good Neighbors Award.  Marge is the founder of an Arizona domestic abuse shelter called "Eve's Place".

The day began with us thinking that we needed to climb these stairs to get to the meeting rooms.  Fortunately we found the escalators that provided immediate access to all of the meeting rooms.

Many Arizona agents are attending the conference. I also met several agents from my home State of Hawaii.

One of the most dynamic speakers was Barb Schwarz with StagedHomes.com.  Her presentation on titled "Staging to Sell in This Economy Makes Perfect Cents".  It was especially interesting that she suggested that staged rooms should each contain the colors white, black and green.

Mr Internet, Mike Russer's presentation, was filled to capacity.  He lectured on inappropriate email practices, effective web copy, how online consumers differ from traditional ones and provided a short email script for the online consumer.

The day ended with Realtors®  from all over the world wondering through the hundreds of exhibits.

We met up with Ambur Murray, Arizona Previsite Account Manager. 

Due to the sheer number of people we didn't get to see Brad Andersohn.  Perhaps we will meet tomorrow.

Tomorrow's keynote speaker is Dr. Condoleezza Rice.  Stay tuned, it should be interesting.
