More From NAR.....

By
Real Estate Agent with Aubrey and Associates Realty

I know that you are all probably getting tired of me writing about NAR, but I am going to write another blog about it.  One of the great things about being here is that you get to meet Giants of the industry and sit in on classes taught by the best in the business!  One of the absolute highlights so far is that Darcy and I got to meet Margaret Kelly the CEO of RE/Max International!  What a great opportunity!

Another of the highlights that I have enjoyed from the classes was sitting on on a class taught by Brian Buffini.  What charisma, and enthusiasm!  I also loved one of the tech panels with Chris Smith, Jay Thompson, Nobu Hata, Todd Carpenter and Bill Lublin.  They were also great!! 

I am going to try to put some more of the classes and lessons learned into other posts!

Tony & Darcy, I am enjoying hearing about NAR -- I used to go all the time and I do miss it.  I'm glad that you are having such a great time and getting so much out of it.

I remember the days when I was a Convention Dog. If there was a convention within 2,000 miles of me, I was at it. Now conventions have become so expensive that I have basically quit going.

That's the great thing about conventions, that they sometimes provide an opportunity to meet folks you wouldn't otherwise be able to.  Neat photo!

Lee & Carol, Thank you, It has been a lot of fun!

Bob, Thank you!  We appreciate that!

Sharon, He was great, what a great live presenter!  He is coming out with a new training program early next year that I think could be exciting!

Russel, I can understand that senitment, if we didn't already have lodging taken care of with our time share, I don't think that we could do this one!

Myrl, That is so true!

I love to go to conventions but I don't know of any photography conventions.

Margaret Kelly looks a lot like a former boss's wife.

I wanted so badly to go to that convention but I've just got too much on my plate to take off for a few days, even as close as it was.

Good to see you with Margaret Kelly.

Robert, Thank you!  They announced that next year's NAR is going to be in Orlando, so that is something to think about!

Eric, I don't know of any photography conventions either, I guess that we all have a doppleganger somewhere.

Jim, It seems like that is always the case, when something is convenient to attend, we seem to get really busy!  I know that we were able to put one deal under contract while at the convention, so we had a lot of things going on.

Erika, It was a lot of fun, it looks like that they are staying with a Disney theme, next year is going to be held in Orlando.

Roy, That is a great shot.  Margaret was so nice and accomodating to have her picture taken with us!  What a nice person!
