RE/MAX International Convention – Day 4

Yes, this Flagstaff real estate agent did the 3 mile ("5K") Walk for the Cure this a.m. - I even ran up some stairs instead of using the escalator. I even made it on time to the 9 a.m. General Session on the last day of the 2008 RE/MAX International Convention. The General Session featured two fine speakers - one an economic consultant and one a renowned motivational speaker. The first fellow would have been much more engaging if he had had some slides. As it was, he was a "talking head." I'll tell you more in a later post because after the Susan G. Komen walk this a.m., it's now past time for bed.

My afternoon was filled, starting at 12:30 p.m. with a session on sales building with two top agents - one of whom I've seen before at Star Power events. The other is a highly successful Phoenix agent who is not into blogging (yet). Then a session on selling luxury homes - some interesting tips there from two fine agents. Finally, I attended the Dave Liniger/Margaret Kelly two-hour road show entitled Be Great in 2008. It was a nice summation of all we should have learned at the Convention, but I'm glad I didn't drive to a separate event for it, as some of my colleagues had driven to Phoenix earlier this year. Unfortunately, Dave's final war stories were cut off by a mysterious alarm in the hotel - formally explained later only as a "minor incident" that caused the fire alarm system to set off.

I skipped the final "Fun Night" party to prepare for a listing appointment on Saturday. Tomorrow, the long drive home. To answer the question in that first convention blog, it was worth it. Be Great!
