Every fall, the California Association of Realtors holds their annual convention, expo, and training; alternating between Northern Cal and SoCal. This year it's September 20th - 22nd in San Jose and promises to be an exciting year!
At the last Realtor Expo we attended, I visited EVERY booth and completed a stamped card for each booth. The next week I received a phone call that I had won an iPad! Really awesome to add this tech tool to our business and move us forward to the next LEVEL of a paperless office. We are so very blessed.
