Arizona Real Estate Blogging Network 
Our very own Candace Robinson, is starting a local networking group for bloggers, right here in the Valley of the Sun, AKA Metro Phoenix Arizona!  This group will be for all levels of experience, from ‘what's a blog?' to page one on Google

Candace, known for going all out on her ventures, has an all star cast lined up for the first meeting.  Our speakers will be: Paul (they jacked my post again) Slaybaugh, Teri (The Lady in Red) Ellis, Shailesh (The Arizona Mortgage Guru) Ghimire, and a Mystery (not to me) Guest named "TBD".  In addition, Jay (The Phoenix Real Estate Guy) Thompson (and we're hoping a future speaker) will be there, along with Nick (see me on TV) Bastian and more. 

This group is more than REALTORS® and Mortgage professionals, if you are a Home Inspector, Appraiser, in the Title business, in fact if you are any type of Real Estate Professional, you are invited to join us. 

Phoenix Arizona Real Estate Blogging NetworkCandace says, "For me blogging has become a major part of my business and success for my future. I have so much yet to learn and still learning on a daily basis, thus the reason to start a network, that will help me ‘Reach My Dreams While Helping Others Reach Theirs'!"

"Reach Your Dreams While Helping Others Reach Theirs!", just happens to be the motto Candace has chosen for the group.  Fitting, since her desire and goal for the group is for all of us to help each other learn and grow. 

We will be meeting will be at 9:00 AM, Thursday, April 24, 2008, at Paradise Bakery (yummy) located at the San Tan Village Mall in Gilbert Arizona.  For further details and directions click here.

Scottsdale, Tempe, Phoenix, no matter where you are, if you are a Real Estate Professional in Arizona, please join us.  All are welcome!  Toby, that means your dad, too!

 

First time buyer, investor or moving up, I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about buying a home in the Valley of the Sun including Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert, and Mesa.

Oh Debbie, they don't call it Paradise Bakery for nothing!  They have really good food there.  Heavenly food.  I have no doubt it will be a delicious very good meeting.  LOL as I waddle away...

Doreen:

Wish I was close enough to join. This looks like it is going to be great fun.

Road Trip!  Grab Jason and a few others and head on over! 

I think you're right, this will be fun.  Lot of really cool people already involved! 

04/10/2008 11:20 PM by Phoenix Arizona Real Estate ~ Doreen McPherson (Keller Williams Arizona Realty ~ Scottsdale ~ Tempe)


Doreen.. Pretty impressive blog to help spread the word. For this first meeting, that is a heck of a line up! And, to get Jay T in the house to share some ideas can't hurt. :-) Looking forward to having some fun with this group!

04/11/2008 08:49 AM by Nick Bastian - Tempe, AZ Real Estate Agent (Realty Executives)


Hi Nick, Thanks.  I agree we are fortunate to have so many great people right here locally.  Yes, Jay knows so much and is so willing to share. 

See you there! 

04/11/2008 08:58 AM by Phoenix Arizona Real Estate ~ Doreen McPherson (Keller Williams Arizona Realty ~ Scottsdale ~ Tempe)


Hi Doreen, great job on your post! When I get a minute or more, I'll try and spread the word as well, though I think between you and Candace, you've done a stellar job of letting everyone know. ;-) Should be fun!! AND so looking forward to meeting all of you. It feels like we already know each other, but to actually "see" and "verbalize" is very cool.

Ahem... not that everyone wouldn't be able to guess... but... uh... I understand there will be cookies involved.

Doreen,

This is great. The word is getting out there. It'll be good to see you again. It's been a while and you don't post much on your blog here so I'm not sure what's on your mind!!!

See you in a few weeks! 

04/11/2008 03:17 PM by Phoenix Home Loan Expert (www.aimeeloans.com)


 An opportunity to be around people who take action!  Planning to be there...you said it, "group for all levels..."

04/11/2008 03:37 PM by Jeff Shatswell (Goldwater Mortgage)


Aloha Doreen,

Thanks for the upbeat blog. It's exciting to hear of people connecting through blogging. I love the motto that was chosen "Reach Your Dreams While Helping Others Reach Theirs!", It's a powerful message that more people should embrace.

PS I like how you matched your background to your collar.

PPS my graphic word was kokuwa, Kokua in Hawaiian means 'to help', very synchronistic.

Peace,

What a nice looking post.  I like the idea of networking with others in your area.  Your temp/time is nice too.  Wish it was 78 degrees here!!  We are expecting SNOW tomorrow.  So much for spring - my poor little flowers are trying to come up..... :)

Hi Teri, I'm looking forward to meeting those I haven't yet and seeing people I haven't seen in a while.  I'm hoping to learn much from the people in the know!  See you soon! 

04/11/2008 05:15 PM by Phoenix Arizona Real Estate ~ Doreen McPherson (Keller Williams Arizona Realty ~ Scottsdale ~ Tempe)


Step away from the Lemon Cookies and no one will get hurt.  Chuck, you are not allowed to come near my cookies, sorry, you've done this to yourself.  LOL  Looking forward to meeting you... 

my graphic is 'cassabanana'  that's funny! 

04/11/2008 05:20 PM by Phoenix Arizona Real Estate ~ Doreen McPherson (Keller Williams Arizona Realty ~ Scottsdale ~ Tempe)


Shailesh, you're right, long time no see!  I don't get out much.  LOL  Looking forward to seeing you (and Aimee?) again. 

04/11/2008 05:45 PM by Phoenix Arizona Real Estate ~ Doreen McPherson (Keller Williams Arizona Realty ~ Scottsdale ~ Tempe)


Hi Jeff, Welcome to ActiveRain.  Yes, this is for all of us and there will be some with great experience there to lead the way.  Looking forward to seeing you there. 

04/11/2008 06:23 PM by Phoenix Arizona Real Estate ~ Doreen McPherson (Keller Williams Arizona Realty ~ Scottsdale ~ Tempe)


Aloha Kimo, Thanks for visiting.  Yes, do unto others really is they way we should live our lives.  I didn't even try to match the colors, but I did notice after I set it up that they were so close.  Will think about you living in paradise, while hanging out at the bakery paradise. :) 

04/12/2008 12:20 AM by Phoenix Arizona Real Estate ~ Doreen McPherson (Keller Williams Arizona Realty ~ Scottsdale ~ Tempe)


Hi April, Trust me, come July and August, you'll be glad you are there.  I know the weather has been kind of crazy in the Midwest and north and east.  I hope it calms down soon.  Have a great weekend! 

04/12/2008 12:23 AM by Phoenix Arizona Real Estate ~ Doreen McPherson (Keller Williams Arizona Realty ~ Scottsdale ~ Tempe)


Doreen - I know how you did your header as well...Great post.  I hope you have a great turnout!  I'd come but with the cost of gas...from Cali to AZ ouch....don't wanna think about it.

04/14/2008 07:11 AM by The Mortgage & Property Connection


Hi Dorene, The idea is for this to become a regular group.  Once it gets going, maybe we'll do something big enough to have people from other locations come also.  I wonder how far this gas thing will go... it's bad, now.
