If you have read my Paperless Travels using an iPhone post, you know that I recently visited Miami. I typically don’t do much “on site” work, but EWM was in a pinch and Beth Butler asked me to come down and do some consulting. I have to say that it was great to finally get a chance to meet Beth in person.
Meeting Fellow ‘Rainers
While I was there, I also had a chance to meet another one of my real estate clients and fellow AR member Scott Patterson. We recently launched Scott’s Aventura Real estate website so it was perfect timing to meet him face to face and talk a little business. Scott and Zoila helped me scope out the area including Golden Beach and Golden Isles then took me to Devito South Beach, located in the middle of a landscape of Miami Beach Condos. Devito South Beach is the famous restaurant that Kevin Tomlinson blogged about on his South Beach Condo Blog.
The Miami Real Estate Guru
Speaking of Miami’s top luxury condo Realtor, since I was in Kevin’s backyard, we linked up before heading to the airport. Kevin gave me a quick tour of the South Beach Real Estate scene and was then nice enough to give me a lift to the Miami Airport.
The Virtual Meeting
Obviously the internet has made it very easy to conduct business with very little need to interact face to face. Tools like GoToMeeting, Instant Messaging, and Streaming Video has made the world much smaller. But, even I, a 100% tech geek, think there still is value in connecting with people face to face. I think that’s one of the reasons why I enjoy attending conferences like Inman Connect. It gives everyone a chance to put a face (not just a 10 year old photo) with a name. So, if you’re going to Inman, I hope I get the opportunity to meet you and say hi.
To Your Success,
Brad Carroll
And for my other Florida clients such as Tallahassee real estate blogger Joe Manausa, I hope to meet you at Inman!
