Sperry Van Ness Partners Circle '09 Trip Highlights

The 2009 Partners Circle Award trip to St. Thomas was an outstanding success. It is amazing what can be accomplished when a group of top producing real estate professionals are assembled for 4 days of networking and best practice sharing. During the workshop series, Sam Chandan founder of Real Estate Economics joined us for a fantastic market update, discussion and debate. Sam's presentation slides are available here (please email support@creeconomics.com (1) to request the PowerPoint version of the slides for use in your own presentations or (2) to request a copy of the May macroeconomic and commercial real estate market briefing materials, available in mid-May. Please reference your affiliation with Sperry Van Ness in your request.)    <!-- </img> -->
