The ActiveRain Stuff You Won't Find Anywhere Else on the Web

Real Estate Town Hall Meeting - In A Southern California Community

Will a Real Estate "Town Hall" meeting really help bring back the real estate market? 

  • IS IT POSSIBLE?

Can putting together industry experts with local homeowners, renters, buyers and veterans really make a difference?  If so, you may want to follow the results of this upcoming Community Town Hall meeting. My guess is that since this has never been done before, and if something like this is successful, you'll want to be following this model in your area to try and improve values, buy smarter, and get educated about the local real estate market.

  • TECHNOLOGY WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE - STAY INFORMED

I'm looking forward to attending the Real Estate Marketing Summit in San Diego at the end of the month.  The Town Hall meeting that has been recently added to this event will be on December 1st for those who care to join us or follow on Facebook.  You can get more details about either event at Real Estate Marketing Summit or at Real Estate Town Hall but more importantly, I would suggest staying on top of the results and the out-come of an event like this.  It could be a great learning experience on how or how not to change the market in your local area.

Bringing the community together is one thing, throwing in some education and local market information is another, but combining local officials, community and real estate experts in a room with everyday hardworking citizens who are feeling and experiencing the "reality of realty" in their hyper-local geographic areas may be one of the most powerful or craziest things ever tried before in the history of real estate. 

  • A PANEL OF EXPERTS AT THE REAL ESTATE TOWN HALL

Who will be the eyes, ears, and mouths at Town Hall?  US Congressman Duncan Hunter, Bank of America Vice President Doug Smith, local Association Board or Realtors President Mark Marquez, CEO of the Neuman and Neuman team Prudential Real Estate Gregg Neuman, our very own Chief Revenue Officer from Zillow, Greg Schwartz and many others.

  • DO YOU HEAR A SIREN?

My bet is that this Town Hall meeting could really open up some eyes and opportunities, provide some great education on both sides of the fence, and create an entirely new approach to the way real estate professionals and consumers and communities come together.  Sometimes the only way to get the neighbors out onto the street talking to each other is to send a fire truck or an ambulance down that street.  Do you hear a siren coming?

  • THEY DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE

Whether you're an agent, lender, homeowner, or renter in or out of the area, you're invited to attend the Town Hall meeting either in person or virtually.  You are the one that makes a difference in the lives of those you come into contact with everyday so come be part of something exciting that just might empower you and help make an impact and change in your real estate markets.  Don't just think about it, do something about it and...

Kudos to the panel of experts, the local real estate professionals, and the community for attempting to "Make a Difference" in their local real estate markets and communities,  it's not going to happen or come from a single town hall meeting, but the potential of what could come out of this is enormous. Creating future real estate changes, having open communication, sharing local opportunity and education just might make this effort worth while,  but only if you're open to this kind of thing.

Bringing back the Real Estate Market...TOGETHER!

Join us at the Real Estate Town Hall Meeting in San Diego, CA

Real Estate Market Domination

Real Estate Market Domination?  Now that's a title that should peak the interests of ANYONE in Real Estate!!

This is going to be the Real Estate Industry's "BEST EVENT" for 2010!  It's going to be really hard for me to make this NOT sound like a sales pitch, but I'm just really excited to be participating at the "First Ever" Real Estate Summit, and especially at this venue.  I'm almost certain you'll pick up on and sense my enthusiasm and excitement about this announcement...

Real Estate Market Domination

Steve Hundley, the CEO at 1parkplace, has pulled out all the stops, spared no expense, and put together what many are referring to as the "GREATEST SUMMIT on EARTH!"  Take a serious look at what this event is all about, why and how it will be different than any others you've ever been to, and then consider and evaluate the benefits you can expect to gain from attending a summit of this magnitude.

The primary purpose of this event is to educate top brokers and high performing agents on the full spectrum of real estate market domination.  There will be comprehensive and professionally choreographed examples of how leading brokers and agents are dominating with online and offline technology that is driving results.  The event is already 1/3 sold out, I'd suggest getting your tickets NOW!

The 2010 Real Estate Market Domination Summit will feature a unique venue packed with highly concentrated strategic real estate marketing knowledge, techniques, information, social/online marketing strategies, offline strategies, power networking all being brought to you by award winning, expert practitioners in all facets of Market Domination.

Your expectations will be "exceeded" with some of these take-aways:

To see the dozens of high powered sessions, just visit the Summit's website at Real Estate Marketing Summit.  Join myself, Allan Dalton, Tom Ferry and dozens of other leading Industry experts as we educate our audience on the art and science of Real Estate Market Domination.  It's not a rumor that I'll also be having a very special guest join me this year at the summit, you don't want to miss this, trust me!

Mark your calendars "OUT OF OFFICE" on November 30 - December 2, 2010. 


"It Will Be SOLD OUT - GUARANTEED"

The Summit will be held "LIVE" at the world famous "Hotel del Coronado" in San Diego, CA.  There will also be the VIRTUAL version of the summit whereby you can enjoy the action LIVE via broadcast with your own private connection.  Imagine joining us at the summit from the comfort of your home or office computer.  In addition, you'll be able to watch the "replay" of any session "on demand" at your finger-tips and at your convenience anytime in the future.  I would prefer to see you there in person, but either way, I'd encourage you to attend.

As an incentive to get you there, save over 50% using the "ActiveBrad" special code to REGISTER

RainCamp San Diego - What If All 2859 Members Show Up

I am really excited about coming to Southern California for ActiveRain's RainCamp in San Diego, one of the best real estate events of the year.  This one is going to be extra special because Bob will be back joining us from his recent wedding and honeymoon.  We missed you in Portland Bob! :-)

What If All 2859 Members Show Up?  Then we'll have one heck of a party and after gathering!!

On August 5th I will be in beautiful San Diego, with three of the most influential people in real estate: Jonathan Washburn, our CEO and Founder of ActiveRain,  Mr. Ben Kinney, a Mega Agent from Seattle and now Nationally renowned speaker, and back by popular demand, Bob Stewart, ActiveRain's Community Evangelist.

At RainCamp we'll be talking about all kinds of strategies to improve your online presence and to help you earn business using the web.  No RainCamp is ever exactly the same because the local markets change and each demographic is unique to that geographic area.  Bringing in some of the local experts and talent is always exciting and a huge learning experience for us all.

At RainCamp on August 5th we will:
  • Show you how we have helped thousands of our members rank at the top of the search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc.) for searches in their market.
  • Share how Donna Harris, a RE/MAX agent from Austin, Texas used her blog to make $122,000 in commissions over the last two years doing what you can do in your own market.
  • Reveal how a plan and some guidance can help you use blogging to impact your business and get the same results as Donna.
  • Show you how to use Facebook, Twitter, and other social media to earn more business.
  • Provide you with a day full of great info to take home with you and implement immediately!
RainCamp is brought to you by ActiveRain and we have made it possible for everyone to attend with donation based tickets.  We want everyone to have access to the information we are sharing - it's that important for the success of your business as the internet becomes more and more, a crucial part of your lead generation.  

See how past RainCamp attendees are raving about how RainCamp has helped their business. You really don't want to miss an event of this magnitude, plus they really are more fun than you could ever imagine a one-day conference or seminar. 

Make sure you come up to me and give me your business card with the word "RainMaker" written on it somewhere,  I'll have a cool surprise for you if you do.
(this is the only time or place I'll mention this, so don't forget)

Click here to register.  Seating is limited so secure your seat today.  See you there!

The Best of NAR 2009 Expo - Real Estate Technology

The Best of NAR 2009 Expo - Real Estate Technology

NAR each year is always packed with great sessions, speakers, topics and presenters.  There's no way to see and do it all!  One of my favorite parts of the Convention is walking around, meeting people in the hallways, hugging old friends and shaking hands with new ones. This year, William Shatner was one of the special guests at NAR, but unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to sign him up on ActiveRain.

My absolute favorite is "cruisin" the EXPO and seeing all the "NEW" stuff that's being displayed.  Many of the tools and services presented will have an affect and impact on the ways business will get done now, and in the future.

To See the more than 375 Booths and vendors that were there, here's an interactive floor-plan you can visit.

NAR always brings back some of the same vendors you see year after year, but I still like to stop by and see them, and how their products have changed or improved. Then there's all the new technology stuff I haven't seen or heard of yet.  When I found a booth or vendor with a name I didn't recognize, or if they that had something I hadn't heard of, I'd ask them, "In a sentence, tell me who you are, what you do, and what does your company provide?"

So if you were unable to make it to NAR 2009 in San Diego this year, I hope you'll take a moment to let me be your eyes, your ears, and your feet at NAR, and enjoy this condensed version of "A Day with Brad at the NAR EXPO" and see a few of the "highlights" that I thought were some of the "Best of the NAR Expo."
