I just got back from Inman Connect San Francisco and can I say, “amazing?” The ideas shared at Inman are nothing short of cutting edge, and when used properly can lead to huge growth as a brokerage. This same wealth of info, however, can also hurt you. Bill Chee—one of the reasons I got into Real Estate—put it best, “You have to come to Inman with a business plan, and grasp on to only those ideas that can help you with that plan.” In case you don’t know … Read More »

I’m headed to Portland this afternoon for a few days to catch all the fun at Agent Reboot Portland on Wednesday. You can still buy tickets for $49 to see the likes of Chris Smith, Darin Persinger, Nicole Nicolay, Wendy Forsythe, Brad Andersohn, and more speak tomorrow regarding a wide variety of topics ranging from WordPress (my personal favorite topic) to Mobile tools to Facebook. Here are some further logistics for the last minute planners: Where: Holiday Inn Portland Airport, 8439 NE Columbia Boulevard, Portland, Oregon, … Read More »

Do you think you know web analytics and have nothing more to learn? If so, I can tell you that in 98% of cases you are wrong. And for the wise folks who know they have more to learn and want to learn from the best, there’s an upcoming webinar you would be stupid NOT to attend. When it comes to web analytics, there is no better person to learn from than Gahlord Dewald. And it just got better – he’s having a conversation with Justin … Read More »

Ready for some margaritas team with geeky real estate conversation? For those in the Orange County, Los Angeles, or San Diego area, there’s a Pre-Agent Reboot tweetup tomorrow evening that you should attend from 6 pm – 9 pm at Pablos Cantina @ The District at Tustin Legacy (2601 Park Avenue. Tustin, CA). And of course, Agent Reboot OC is on Wednesday. Hope to see you there!!

If you are a real estate professional in the greater Seattle area and looking to further your business in 2011 — there are two events coming up that you don’t want to miss, RE BarCamp on March 3rd and Agent Reboot on March 9. Having been to over a dozen RE BarCamps all across the country over the past few years, I’m a huge RE BarCamp fan. I love the fact that every re barcamp is different. I love the fact that the entire day … Read More »

I’ll admit it. I love attending RE BarCamps. I’ve been to 15-20 of them all across the country over the past few years, and have met some amazing people as a direct result. Friendships with the likes of Brad Coy, Andy Kaufman, Todd Carpenter, Mike Price, Heather Elias, and Bill Lublin (and numerous others) wouldn’t be what there are without the time I’ve spent with them at re barcamps across the country. So I’m excited for the New York RE BarCamp in early January and the … Read More »

“This is not my Locker” I know it is inevitable that I will be asked (perhaps 100′s of times) “What did you learn from Inman Connect SF this week”? or “What was the most interesting thing you learned at Inman Connect SF”? or some variation of that general question. In years past I may have made something up to illicit a response like “That’s Nice” or “Wow, that’s great!”, but NOT this year! This year something very accidental, yet incredibly enlightening happened and it all … Read More »

That’s where REBarCamp Sacramento was held. When Tamara Dorris reached out to me asking if it was possible to put together a REBarCamp in a month I said sure!  I told he I would be happy to build and host the Blog, build the Facebook Page and handle all the technical details.  (she thought I was doing all the hard stuff!) My friend Jeremy at 210 Consulting donated the artwork for the logo and we were off to the races!  All she had to do … Read More »

What the heck is a Barcamp? I’ve been helping answer that question for a couple of years now. Luckily enough, you will find a plethora of information on the REBC web site. The short of it? It’s a free event where people show up and set up the topics of discussion and those who will moderate them right there. On they fly. In the moment. No pre-planning. Think of it as a controlled Chaos. It’s unlike any event you have ever attended before. Each one … Read More »
