florida: Florida's Realtor Convention - Politics and International Business!
- 08/27/09 11:12 AM
I'm just back from the Florida Association Realtor's convention in Orlando, where Realtors from all over the state come to discuss key issues affecting the profession and learn new strategies, while networking with Realtors statewide. Since Florida has the largest number of international buyers of any state in the US, many topics on Friday's "International Day" were very timely for the six of us representing iPRO, the International Council of Pinellas Board of Realtors.
One of this year's highlights was the appearance at a SRO ballroom of two Florida's gubernatorial candidates, Chief Finance Officer Alex Sink (pictured upper left) and Attorney General … (2 comments)
