Pacific Rim Conference

Here I go again! I just attended a fabulous real estate conference on the Big Island of Hawaii. I have been a CRS for many years, and very much enjoy the networking and camraderie of top agents with comon objectives.
International real estate was a large topic with a CIPS instructor to update us on changing Lwas regarding foreigners buying and selling US real estate. The patriot act has changed a lot of procedures.
There was a great update from HAR, the Hawaii Association of Realtors regarding the changing market, and the new forms we have to portect us as Realtors in a distressed Property situation.
OK, I had fun too, my colleague and I swam with the dolphins, kissed them, and had photo opportunities galore. Did not purchase the movie. Photos were fun.
300 realtors attended the conference which was so well organized.
Please let me know if you have any questions, or were you there?
ACTIVE rain was there and gave a great presentation on the site and the importance of blogging and staying connected.

Welcome to Active Rain! This is a great website for building your business, as well as learning from others. Pat yourself on the back, because you made a GREAT choice in joining the blogosphere!

Write often, and write whatever comes to mind. Blogs about personal topics and non-real estate items are often the best. It helps your readers to bond with you, and ends up bringing you a lot of business!

Good luck with your future blogging. If you'd like more info on points in Active Rain, I just wrote a blog about it (click here). Feel free to ask me any questions if you need a hand!
