I just returned from Dallas. I went for two different events. One is the Five Star REO and Short Sale Summit where many real estate agents, brokers, asset managers, services and more came to meet and network.
There were many panel meetings on different subjects affecting our business today. Excellent speakers including Emmett Smith, football player and dancer on DANCING WITH THE STARS.
At the Summit I attended two days of sitting in a “classroom” learning about REO, or real estate owned properties and how to work with the banks and asset managers more effectively. There was an additional day of study and certification of SHORT SALES.
Even though I have been working in the field, some asset managers insist that the agents and brokers they hire need to have these specific designations, and so I sat through the 3 days and took the examinations for the two different certifications. When I came home I found the same classes are being offered all across the country, and coming to a town near me. Since I did not fly to Dallas, (grave error), you can imagine how I felt when I read my mail. However I did make a family trip out of this and driving through New Mexico and Arizona was really beautiful.
I met quite a few brokers who also work in the REO and Short Sale business of listing and selling property, and they are from all over the United States. Of course, we exchanged ideas, and business cards so we can contact each other after the EXPO/ Conference. I always love to learn new things and believe strongly in education. My goal is to be the best BROKER / REALTOR for my clients and therefore I shall continue to study to benefit them.
