By Dawn Miller, 2009 NAR Conference Blogger In the real estate world where the average age of a REALTOR® is 52 years old, some may agree it’s a challenge as a young professional, or YPNer. I may have just added another challenge to the equation—trying to break into the international real estate world. While myth has it that one should know …
By Brian Copeland, 2009 NAR Conference Blogger Zero money was spent on ads. Zero information went out through overly official channels. Social media and organic communication lead more than 500 registrants to NAR’s first RE BarCamp held at Stingaree (a venue bar in the Gaslight District). The day kicked off with a whole lot of amazing networking. I always worry …
By Drew Burks. 2009 NAR Conference Blogger Downtown San Diego had a special electricity in the air this morning. As I was pulling up to the Stingaree, location where RE BarCamp is being held, I immediately noticed small groups of people buzzing around. The energy was similar to small children waiting to open gifts on Christmas morning, anticipation and enthusiasm …
By Brian Copeland, 2009 NAR Conference Blogger After a too big portion of pancakes at The Broken Yolk, AcStevia and I made it across the street to register for NAR’s first BarCamp. YPN’s Rob Reuter was on hand early on to say hello. I’ll keep you updated later today on the top things shared in the morning session, then later …
By Brian Copeland, 2009 NAR Conference Blogger As I entered Conference Hall B, the fresh smell of new carpet smacked me right in the face. It was like stepping into a new car…very nice. I have to admit, however, there’s also a new aroma and attitude in the air this year in comparison to last year’s Orlando conference. A refreshed energy …
By Brian Copeland, 2009 NAR Conference Blogger Entering the Westin, you definitely get the Wizard of Oz Emerald City feel that its known for. As mentioned in my other blog, the interesting architecture abounds in San Diego. I made my way to the Council of Residential Specialists (CRS) pre-conference meetings. This morning’s topic, International Affairs, lead by Jed …
By Brian Copeland, 2009 NAR Conference Blogger I have officially picked up my conference book, expo guide, all the additions to the program and spamilicious bag of goodies. Perhaps it’s an eco-friendly thing, but I’m loving the idea of the iPhone app. Everything seems to be there in real time. I’ll be updating you throughout the week on how the …
By Brian Copeland, 2009 NAR Conference Blogger Coming from one of the “land locked” states, Tennessee, I sometimes forget the perks of coming to a place like San Diego. As the sun rose over the bay outside my hotel this morning (a rarely seen site for me since I’m a late sleeper and this time change is killing me), …
By Jessica Hickok I’m a big list maker and checklist lover. While gearing up for the big NAR Annual Conference and Expo coming up in just two short weeks in San Diego, I am in list-making overdrive. However there is one list that I make that I would like to encourage every REALTOR® to do the same in preparation for …
By Shannon Williams King, YPN Advisory Board Chair Convention is always a blast! Especially this year with it being held in San Diego. If you haven’t signed up, make sure to register and join YPN during our events Nov. 12-16. Besides the fantastic speakers, sessions and expo, there are some great YPN events going on as well. We’ll kick off …
