It's time for another RE/MAX Real Estate Concepts breakfast 02/08/2011!

There are many benefits to working in our brokerage both tangible and intangible. We like to have fun and there are a lot of events to attend all year long. One regularly scheduled event that never fails to inspire, inform and entertain is the monthly breakfast meeting we have the second Tuesday of every month at the Hilton Garden Inn in Johnston, IA. Attendees can expect a delicious full breakfast buffet complete with bacon, sausage, eggs, potatoes, pancakes, fresh fruit and an assortment of delectable pastries. If attending you can also expect to network with top agents, brokers. lenders, stagers, photographers, and other interesting folks. Our brokerage has six offices in Des Moines, Newton, West Des Moines, Altoona, and Grimes and breakfast seem to be the one event that draws the biggest crowd probably because the timing 9-11 am fits well into everyone schedule. The meet and great alone is worth the trip.

The format usually consists of some market and brokerage sales stats, real estate trends and a motivational speech from our founder Robb Spearman. Next is one or more guest speakers: everyone from sales trainers to magicians, to builders to vendors and local volunteer groups. Next week we'll have a time management and organization expert, Lori Vander Krol. According to the advance email:
