The Privilege of Speaking at the Greater Baltimore Board of REALTORS was mine today!

My friend,my mentor Anne Hruby HomeRome Realty

Today was a wonderful day in Baltimore and I was able to do one of my favorite things...speaking with other agents about my passion for real estate. This was certainly not a first for me. Speaking, Networking, Making Connections!! My Fast Start teacher, my mentor, my dear friend... Anne Hruby is teaching the GRI 200 Series and asked me to be a guest at today's class. No matter what is on my schedule, I will always be available when this special lady calls. There's Gold in "Them Thar" Years! Happy 50th Anniversary!

It was very refreshing walking into a full classroom of REALTORS, anxious to learn, and enthusiastically asking all kinds of questions. This was GRI module 203-Interpersonal Skills & Personal Assistants. Lots of good questions from how I got into the business, tell me about your first listing (I prompted that one), why did I become a broker, when did I decide to become a broker and some really good dialog developed.

It was good seeing so many agents doing something positive in this market, investing in their career. Too many people have accepted the "fact" that we're in a down real estate market and are becoming complacent. Here's a list of a dozen and a half ways to "make it rain" in real estate A Dozen and a Half Ways to Make it Rain in Real Estate

Wrapping up, of course ActiveRain was mentioned. Sitting right in the front row was Stanley Barsch and his wife Jessica...and yes he is a Rainer. We did a drawing for my book Real Estate the Rome Way and Stanley was the winner! Stanley promised to blog about today and I will be watching.

Hi Margaret, How fun. It is a awesome feeling knowing you are reaching someone and helping them connect with their passion or at least helping them learn the rewards of developing it, passion that is. :-)

Hi Margaret, It looks like it was very interesting, I would have loved to hear you speak. One question? Where is the food? No pics of crab cakes or Berger cookies or corned beef sandwiches at lunch time?

Gail, Always fun. Are you coming to GBBR tomorrow?
Kevin, You are so right.

Richard, Thanks and I hope so.

Charita, I always enjoy these classes.

Sally, You do understand.

Rebecca, Thanks for stopping by.
