I went to the California Realtor Expo this week at the Anaheim Convention Center, and I have to say CAR works hard to put on a good program.  Not only did they offer lots of great information, but free seminars on what is happening in today's market.  Realtors could attend talks on selling Commercial Real Estate, the ABC's of REO's, strategies to working with the Latino Home Buyer, the tools necessary to address Foreclosure Properties, staging homes, Feng Shui, and the list goes on. 

Each year I make it a point to attend CAR's Expo to gain the latest industry information, as well as the latest greatest gadgets to be the best I can be at my job.  This way I am more informed, more efficient and better educated to helping my clients.  I walked away with a big bag full of items that will help my business grow and take me to the next level.  One thing I love about real estate is that it is constantly evolving and so am I.  Being a great Realtor is a lifelong job of growing and changing with the times and by learning new strategies will help you think out of the box. 

What do you do to evolve and grow?  Do you attend expos and seminars?

I enjoyed the CAR convention this year. Lucky its only 5 miles from my office. I really like meeting other agents and brokers for networking and future business.

You're absolutely right, Noelle - you have to stay up-to-date with the latest in this changing market.  Buyers and sellers look to us for guidance and we need to stay ahead of the curve in that regard.

BTW, A/R seems to have its own real-estate-tradeshow kinda thing going on, I see as I search through these blogs.

I debated on whether to go to the EXPO.  As interesting as it sounded, I opted out and stayed in the office to do more prospecting.  I can live without Feng Shui ideas.  For those of you who spent 3 days at the EXPO, you have a lot of time on your hands.
