The NAR Convention is for meeting Social Friends.

I'm not sure if I just happen to be taking the wrong classes, but the phrase "Everything I needed to know  about real estate marketing, I learned on Social Media" sure seems to be true today.

If I hear one more NAR class about the need to join facebook, linkedin, or Active Rain, I'll go crazy!

It's not because you should not be doing it. We all should be doing this - if we can keep up with it. It just seems crazy to me to spend time, money and effort to go out of state to meet with "Nationally Renowned Speakers" and hear simple things like, "you need to use Twitter."

OF COURSE YOU DO!

But why do I need to come to the NAR convention to hear this? I don't. If I made it here, then I probably already know. And If I'm attending and I don't use social media yet, then I probably want to stay in my cave.

So why am I here? I'm here to meet my social media friends!

I thought I was coming for new ideas - and maybe I will hear a few more, but so far it's mostly about the relationships!

Maybe I'll actually make it to the Expo Hall tomorrow instead of hearing I need to blog. Hmmm...

Hope to see you all at the party tonight! We'll be a little late since we have to go to our local association dinner first, but we'll be there!
