I just returned from the RE/MAX International convention. As the only delegate from Newport Beach, California, I feel privileged to be a part of an elite group from more than 58 countries. Working beside agents from places as diverse as Slovakia and Slovenia, Ireland and Dubai, Singapore and Grenada, I was again reminded of the universality of home ownership, entreprenuership, and a willingness to learn and grow.
We grew with sessions on the economy from Carter Murdoch of Bank of America and Jeff Thredgold, on technology and social networking, risk protection for our clients, buyer brokerage, auctions, short sales and luxury home marketing.
A particular personal highlight was a hour with one of my mentors, Marcus Buckingham. His studies with the Gallup Group and his tests and books help us to discover our strengths and use them.
