Convention is the one time a year that you get to see your REALTOR® friends from all across the state. We come together to learn, grow, and have a good time while we're at it. This opportunity to expand your referral network is one that you can't afford to miss; think of all the business you could be doing! We offer connections with more than just other agents - extending to industry partners and more. Be sure to stop by our trade show that offers vendors from all aspects of the business. We've got lenders, movers, roofers, jewelry, soaps, and even Scentsy!
Clients want to see that their REALTOR® is always striving to learn more and grow professionally. What better way to showcase this than to be able to tell them that you attend a yearly educational conference where you network with and learn from REALTOR® members from all across the state? Some people say they stay up to date; some people say they want to learn. You could be the one to prove it. Attending convention isn't just something fun to do with your friends, it's a resume builder! Show your clients that you are involved and actively participating in things that advance your career.
