Florida Realtors®: Is Your Business Up to Speed?
Find Out at the 2005 Florida Association of Realtors’® Convention
ORLANDO, Fla., June 2005 -- The latest gadgets and gizmos, advice from leading real estate trainers and a chance to network with other real estate professionals: That's what the Florida Association of Realtors’® (FAR) 2005 Convention & Trade Expo has to offer -- opportunities to get on the real estate fast track, learn new practices and boost business.
Taking place "at the speed of business," this year's event is set for Aug. 24-28 at the Wyndham Palace Resort & Spa in Lake Buena Vista. FAR's 89th annual convention offers real estate professionals new ways to enhance their real estate business through the best technology tools, sales and marketing techniques, business models and other industry-specific information. The event also gives participants the chance to glean advice from leading real estate trainers and to network with colleagues. Thousands of Realtors from across the state are expected to attend the FAR convention.
Top industry speakers -- such as Jim Pugliese, John Tuccillo, Terri Murphy and Allen Hainge, to name a few -- will offer insight into current trends in the real estate market, with more than 25 educational sessions scheduled during the convention. Topics include: increasing profits while working smarter; ways to increase listings through marketing techniques; suggestions for developing international business; 10 trends shaping the future of the real estate business; tips for dealing with 1031 exchanges; and suggestions for getting started in commercial real estate.
Other highlights of the event include: the Trade Expo, where real estate vendors demonstrate the latest products at more than 150 booths; and the Super Sales Day/Annual Awards Luncheon, featuring motivational speaker Larry Winget, often called the "pit bull of personal development" and author of the 2004 bestseller "Shut Up, Stop Whining & Get a Life: A Kick-Butt Approach to a Better Life." Then there's the excitement of the annual Election Night Dance and Celebration. To register for the FAR convention, call 1-800-669-4327 or register online through Planet Realtor by clicking here.
