Lee & Noel Bitinger attend the RE/MAX International Convention
Well we are leaving for Las Vegas this morning for the RE/MAX International Convention. Noel and I have been selling real estate in the Detroit, Michigan western suburbs for about 25 years and have been with RE/MAX since 1991.
We attended every RE/MAX Convention except one over these years because all the latest tools and new technology is presented in a four day whirlwind of training sessions and presentations.
Most agents think conventions are a bore or view it as an excuse to escape to a fun filled few days of play. All the real estate agents that come to the RE/MAX convention however, are serious about improving their business. RE/MAX is generally thought of in the real estate industry as the franchise that agents graduate to after they have developed their business to a higher level than they have at the franchise they started in.
Noel & I strategize to get the most out of each convention. When we invest our time away from home, incur the travel and hotel costs, and take care of all the details connected with the trip we make sure it pays off. The marketing tips we pick up and the new technology tools we get exposed to keep us ahead of the pack as far as being able to provide our clients with the latest methods to expose their homes to more buyers on the market. In the real estate market we are in back home in Detroit that means getting our sellers out of homes faster and at the best prices possible. It really makes it worthwhile.
We will have a little fun though. We don’t do any gambling but we do love the shows. RE/MAX puts on a few social events designed to allow the agents from across the country and around the world (RE/MAX is now in 68 countries) to network with each other. Over the years we found this to be invaluable for referring our clients to the best agents in a place they are going to relocate to.
Thursday night is the last of the events and they always put on a fun night. This year they will have Journey put on a full blown concert just for us. What a thrill. We will take a few photos and tell you how it went.
This blog is simply smashing. In my humble opinion of course. As this post is rather debatable I don’t think all your blog visitors are going to agree with it.
