LIVE! from NAR

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX of Naperville

The city is struggling in their return from Katrina and they are glad to see us. The Cyberprofessionals  had a great meal at K-Pauls (yum!) last night. With a meeting time of 8:30 am (breakfast starting at 7:00) certain CyberPros were setting up their spots by 6:30 am. We meet every year at NAR and once again someplace in the spring to exchange ideas (not just tech stuff) that can benefit our business. Look for the "cool spot" stickers at the trade show on Saturday (Cool spots are awarded to vendors that the CyberPros happen to think stick out)

 

ActiveRainers attending the CyberPros meeting at NAR include Moo from Naperville  (me), Linda DavisLes Sulgrove , Judy Burkett , Allyson Hoffman , Teri Isner , Sharon Simms  ,  Tammy Simms , Wayne "Shorty" Short , "Special" Ed Haraway,  Cindy DiCianni , Jerry Fowler and Wynne Achatz  Of course ActiveRain is one of the topics of conversation.

I'm convinced that they want us here in New Orleans so bad that Harrah's even let me win last night....

Hey Moo,

can you tell us about the "cool" things you see on the convention floor.

Especially those interesting cool products, and yeah, they can definitely be geeky.

angus - wow! that is wonderful! thank you so much.

how's everyone doing down there? make sure to take lot's of photos. maybe you can create a nardi gras 06 flickr pool of pictures - this way we can all share the experience with you. maybe everyone who writes a nardi gras post can "tag" it "nardigras06". this way we can easily find it in a search via our feed readers or on any search engine.

thanks again angus :)

Thanks Jennifer, last night wasn't quite as profitable... in fact you might call it a slight set back

Moo, I rang my budha bell for you (good luck at the tables, slots, whatever it is that u are choosing lol)  So is Cyberprofessionals still going on or are you now in the midst of NAR Convention stuffs? Inquiring minds STILL want to know. 

And someone please report on food!

Eileen - Not a lot of new stuff at the show - the 1031 people were all over the place. Lots of direct mail stuff. Some web-site people etc... I signed up for some small things. Most of what I got in value came from the face to face meetings with other people and talking about what's working and what's not. I'm in the mode of re-evaluating a lot of what I'm doing, I've got a lot of duplication and extraneous projects in my business.

Carole - good job with the buddha bell, I'm up about $800.00 and think I'll stay away to keep it there. 

Margaret - We'll have fun in New Mexico in the spring!
