Sun City Center Realtors meet twice a month, on the second and fourth Friday, to network.
The events are hosted by local businesses such as Assisted living facilities, local builders, etc. The host provides a breakfast, which could be a light continental or a full course meal.
We usually have a guest speaker, followed by an open discussion period and a listing presentation segment where new or special listing are presented and reviewed.
Following the meeting the group caravans new listings, usually previewing 8 or more homes. In that we have a Gated Community within our community the caravan alternates between the two areas. One week the caravan will tour homes outside the gated area and the next meeting week the gated area is toured.
The meeting, which begins at 8 a m, usually last a total of two hours, one hour for the discussion segment and an additional hour for the caravan.
These meetings are viewed as a valuable business tool. Realtors interact with each other, (yes we do talk to our competition) provide useful information, and have the opportunity to preview current listings in a convenient, time efficient manner.
I once was of the opinion that the only thing that came out of meetings was people. However, I have found these get together's to be the exception. We build and promote camaraderie and that is a great thing.
