I recently attended the Real Estate Connect Inman Conference in San Francisco, and it was by far one of the best conferences in real estate that I have ever attended. The number of innovative companies and latest technologies entering the industry was overwhelming and really opened me up to what is coming to the future of our industry. There is definitely change in the air in the real estate industry and it is happening quite rapidly. I encourage anyone that has not had a chance to read Inman News to log on to their website and read some of the content of the conference.I am a new agent to the REO market carving my niche and plowing through to get my initial BPO and REO orders and assignments, although, I am not new to REO ( I worked with REO properties in the early 1990's during the Savings and Loan Years). I attended series of REO track workshops at the Inman conference presented by Foreclosure Radar and Lions Gate Financial REO Education Company which were very informative and confirmed the need for agents like me to enter and apply and compete for this unique real estate business specialty.I am also attending The Five Star Institute Conference soon. Can anyone of you tell me which REO conferences in your opinion are the best to connect with REO default Servicing industry contacts that will benefit by having me provide my REO business skills and experience to them in the near future and any tips for breaking through this niche. I just got my Distressed Property Certified Specialist Designation through Default School. I am a master property preservation specialist as I have managed 17 family owned properties in the last 20 years so this experience will benefit my institutional clients handsomely. Thanks for your tips and I am looking forward to offering you mine.Ines Eiras - The REO Turnaround TeamPrudential California Realty - Stoneridge Pleasanton CAines.eiras@prurealty.com 510-305-8128 www.prurealty.com/ineseiras
I so wanted to go to CIC. I hear it was really good. That was my broker that was on-stage with the "internet-based" broker talking about changes in business models...... but his wasn't making a profit yet after 3 years. ;-) It kills me when I see folks who have only done real estate for 5 years and they want to change the industry and how it does business!
Most all the major conferences have been blogged about extensively here on REOPro. I may benefit you to search the blog archive by doing a key word search for which ever conference you're interested in knowing more about.
If you find a conference that hasn't been blogged about, I would then blog asking others about thier experience at that particular conference or workshop, you might have better luck getting people's attention that way.
