The IRIS Convention - My favorite part? Meeting AR friends!!!

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams First Coast Realty - The Marro Team

One of the reasons that I wanted to attend the IRIS Convention in San Diego was because there would be so many SIF members!!  I would love to thank all of you for walking up and saying, "HI!" and also for those of you who took my edu-sessions.

As you can see by this point we were getting a bit worn down - it had been a long day but I'm sure you'll see more photos by the end of the week from other IRIS members who attended.

I wish that I had thought to take more photos....

Too much FUN!  How lucky you were to meet each in in the 'flesh'!  I love to see the photos and enjoy seeing the 'real time' images! I can't wait for a National Meeting with everyone! Regards-Kathleen G

It was great not only meeting Melissa, but hearing her fabulous Marketing seminar!  If only my computer didn't crash on me while away...Not to worry, I'll have a couple weeks to get things rolling before I hit the ground running.  Thanks for sharing all your wonderful information!

Melissa, what an absolute pleasure to meet you. and all the other Incredibles I have been meeting through the wires!

I missed your session so I definitely want to hear the encore  (I bought the tapes instead)  So what about it? Less than a year to put it together.  What an amazing time - and i agree  the best part was meeting all the rain makers!

You are all fabulous women.  Even better in 3 d !!!!   and the best part was feeling like I already knew a part of so many of you.

Hi Melissa

So glad I was able to meet you at the IRIS Conference.  Too bad we did not have time together, nevertheless, it was very heartwarming to meet you in person!  What a treat!!  You are a very deep and personable person and I am also excited you are a part of our new Dewey Color Instructor Team!  A Big hearty Congratulationsfor winning your award in the Photo Challenge.  Was I surprised?  Not!! So glad to be part of the group, too!  What an honor and privileged to know you!  I am slowly catching up with my emails and Active Rain these days during a very busy season!!! 

~Have a Colorful Day!
