Reinvent Yourself - Michael Saunders and Company Social Media Conference

Yesterday I attended the "Reinvent Yourself" conference about social media held by Michael Saunders and Company. It was a great event. The two guest speakers were Matthew Ferrara and Steve Harney. Both of them had a great presentations.

Matthew Ferrara spoke about social media networks and how it has changed relationship building in the real estate business (as well as other businesses). He gave user statistics on the most popular networks and how we can leverage them to promote properties and build more relationships with buyers and sellers. In other words we are trying to find fancier ways to meet new clients.

Steve Harney gave a great presentation on the real estate industry on a national and local level. He had some fantastic statistics about the Sarasota real estate market. There is a real disconnect between buyers and sellers of properties above $1,000,000. I know this first hand as I a client of mine just submitted an offer yesterday to a very unrealistic seller in this price range.




I was also fortunate enough to be on a panel. Matthew Haber, Director of Interactive Marketing for Michael Saunders and Company, asked me to be on a panel about blogging and social networks. It was fun. I hope I gave some relevant information to the Realtor audience. It seems like I did. I received some compliments afterwards.
