uch fun tonight with Anna Banana Kruchten,CRS,CRB,GRI & Gary "Banana" Houthtaling at our MeetUp in Phoenix. Anna and Gary did a bang up job in securing CRS as a meeting coordinator, bringing together real estate agents and bloggers to a single venue. Great job!

As I always say, Knowledge is Power! Anytime a real estate agent learns something new, there's power to help their clients, their peers and their brand! Kudos to Anna & Gary! A few pictures of our MeetUp in Phoenix event tonight with:

I apologize if I've missed anyone. There were so many interesting conversations going on in the room that it was difficult getting around!

Thank you to the many sponsors for this event including CRS!

What a great group you guys have and wonderful photos too, Jan! I told Anna I wish I had enough advance notice - I would have taken that Charlotte to Phoenix plane ride (perhaps the Banana Jet) to get to see you all!

Nathan Gesner the great turnout was due to Anna's networking. She invited vendors who have worked with her, CRS agents, and ActiveRain bloggers. A great mix of people from insurance, home inspectors, title, lenders, and a few more in between!

Nina Hollander I can appreciate watching from afar. If you throw one, look beyond just inviting agents. That's how Anna succeeded in getting even more turnout.
