Second Lancaster Real Estate Bloggers Summit Ties Attendance Record!

Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, Lancaster PA RS134746A

Lancaster PA Real Estate Bloggers SummitYup, that's right - the Second Lancaster, PA Real Estate Bloggers Summit tied its previous attendance record.  That is to say, all three of the Charter Members were there - myself, Jeff Geoghan, and Jeannie Kontis!

We met on April 29 at Senorita Burrita, a trendy cafe in the heart of downtown Lancaster.  Jeff had eaten there a number of times before, but for me it was the first time.  I was amazed at the size of the customizable burritos - truly a two-handed affair!  Makes the Whopper look like an appetizer...

There have been a couple of major real estate franchise changes in Lancaster County recently.  Homesale Services Group has switched from Coldwell Banker to Prudential, and Realty Select has acquired the Coldwell franchise.  That really spurred the conversations as we talked about personnel changes, office politics and business strategies.

Of course, no meeting would be complete without comparing the latest blogging techniques and technology.  New improvements are arriving at such a fast pace these days that it's nice to bounce ideas around with fellow agents to see what seems to be working effectively, and what may not be worth the investment.

We all agree that these lunches have become both pleasant and useful, and we plan to get together again for future networking.

Brian,

It sounds like you, Jeff and Jeannie are on to a regular thing now....that's wonderful! There are some AR bloggers in my office and we sometimes used to compare notes, however most of them have now petered out and no longer post on AR.  Sadly....

Brian - It is good to have such a gathering.  A goal of the group should be to get more of the local agents involved with blogging so you will have a bigger crowd for your next meeting.

Jo, up until now, I think the three of us have been the only regular bloggers in our respective offices as well.

Trey, it is fun, isn't it!  How many bloggers did you have together in Bandera?

Jennifer, in the future we'll probably try to get more participation, but for this one it was a spur-of-the-moment get-together without much lead time.

Brian, I had a great time getting together with you and Jeff!  Wow, we sure do talk a lot, don't we?!  Thanks for sharing the photo ~ I think I might have mine up later today. 

Looking forward to Summit #3 -- but we'll need to block off more time!

BRIAN - Congrats on tying your record!  It beats my record, since I've only gotten together with one other Rainer since I've been here.

Jeannie, we certainly talk a lot - but there's so much to talk about that our get-tegethers seem to end too soon...

I haven't posted an article all week!  Busy busy...our meeting was one of the only "quiet" times I've had this week.  Looking forward to #3 as well.
