The Jet Lag is REAL!

If you know me then you know my motto is "I'm not BUSY, I'm PRODUCTIVE"... but wow, this month has been busy (and very productive!) 😂

From Inman Connect in Las Vegas at the beginning of the month and C.A.R WomanUp! scheduled at the end… to now settling my girl into her dorm for her last semester of College - My schedule is full of travel, conferences & events!

But let me tell you… it is SO WORTH it. One of the most consistent questions I get asked by other REALTORS® is “Why do you go to so many conferences?”

And I never know quite how to begin answering that question, because the reasons are endless!

Having the opportunity to attend events and conferences over the years, has been critical to my business. Both professionally, and personally.

Being able to stay up to date on Industry trends and continuously expanding my Real Estate knowledge allows me to take all of that information back to my Database and reassure them with FACTS about what’s going on in our Market.

Not only do you learn, grow and capture new ideas from our Industry peers and leaders, but you get to meet NEW people who are just like YOU! In my opinion, events and conferences are one of the least tapped areas that REALTORS® can use to their advantage to grow their business!

I can’t begin to tell you how many of my BEST friends, and BEST Industry friends have come from these “events & conferences.” These are people who I can call at any time to mastermind and synergize with. They make me a better Real Estate Professional, and a better human!

Not sure if Events are for you? I promise, once you give them a chance, you’ll find out they are. I encourage you to look at them differently; as a way to grow, expand and become a better REALTOR® for your clients. And if you aren’t sure where to start, I’ll list a couple of great sources to find one near you below!

• C.A.R WomanUP! 

• National Association of REALTORS®

• Inman Connect 

And if you’re nodding your head agreeing with every reason I’ve listed above, I want you to start thinking about how you can utilize these conferences as more than just learning events. How can you really build this into your business plan? How can you stay in touch better with your REALTOR® peers? How can you form lifelong friendships that cause you to level up professionally? I promise - it will change the way you attend forever!

At the end of the day, Real Estate is all about RELATIONSHIPS. Whether that’s our relationship with our clients or our relationship with other REALTORS® and Industry peers. And by attending events & conferences, you're building your relationships with BOTH. Plus maybe getting to have a little extra fun while you’re at it!
