You Roll In Late At Night, The Real Estate Office Business Caught Up. For Now.

The hurry scurry to get to an annual Maine real estate REALTORS convention meeting.

Every year the same two step dosey doe getting the office set up for a few days at meetings.

Cauterizing loose ends, remember to do this, this and this.

Luckily I have had an assistant for nineteen years that is like Radar on the MASH television series. Robin just knows. Remind Andy to do this, don't forget to do that. And then that.

With androids, laps tops it is a seamless transition. Sure, tethered by wireless devices while in a continuing education class. Cattle prodded to call these three numbers during the lunch break. And did I set up for the day back the showing on this place, the closing on that property? It's like any vacation where just before it things get intense and you smile. You're going come heck or high water.

Realtor state conventions like MAR's this year at the Harborside Hotel in Bar Harbor Maine is a chance to connect with real estate professionals from around the state. To hear motivational talks, cutting edge discussions on new ways to delivery the real estate and community information better, quicker, cleaner.

With less fuss, no muss.

(What is muss...chaff, some by product of hard word needing to be jettisoned? Did they mean mess, like in messed wind blown hair? ) Anyway, the veterans in the industry that you don't just do business with. You connect and care about. Asking how is the Mrs, the kids, how did that work out with the buyer wanting the tattoo parlor talk, chit chat ensues.

And after the hospitality suites of banks courting you for your business on loan closings.

Maine title companies plying you with a tray of Maine lobster hors d'oeuvres.

Its down to business again the next day with more meetings. For the education, the continuing real estate credit hours. Tto hang on to the 30 year Maine real estate broker's license planted, parked on the office wall back in Houlton Maine. A cruise ship is parked off the shore to the convention complex. There is a whale watching invitation in an 5 x 7 frame calling my name by the lap top as we tap tap tap. As the ends of the fingers open up to finish up to check in with my friends on Active Rain quickly. Before putting on a name tag, venturing in to the Maine core course on real estate, other sessions today, for the next three days. Your state REALTOR convention...which ever state, have you been to it yet? Going to the national REALTOR convention this year? Maine, she is big, the four season beauty will get in your system. Then she never lets go.
