By Brooke Wolford I was recently invited to attend my first YPN group in Minneapolis by fellow Lounge blogger Nobu Hata. As many of you know, the Minneapolis YoPros were just named Chapter of the Year — I now understand why. I went in not knowing what to expect. I have attended other local networking groups in the past and …
By Nobu Hata What would it take to get you to MidYear this year? It’s a serious question. And no, I’m not going to use any replies in some insidious way. Seriously though, what is it about NAR MidYear that makes it so abhorrent to the average REALTOR®? What makes the alternative shows so much more appealing in comparison? Is …
By Brian Copeland I recently attended a conference. I had six straight days of travel and one tiny bag to take me on the multiple city flights; so, I had no room for anything extra. At the end of each day, I found myself swimming in “SeatSPAM.” It wasn’t in my e-mail box, my Facebook inbox, or even my Twitter …

The rooftop of Hotel Solamar was packed as early as 6:30 p.m. when YPNers from across the country met to introduce each other, share, and exchange ideas. If you did go, I hope we had a …
By Heather Soldonia, 2009 NAR Conference Blogger Friday at the 2009 NAR Expo was fantastic!! I decided to attend 4 sessions: • Marketing in 2010 and Beyond • Treating Your Business Like a Business • How to Avoid, Survive and End a Sales Slump • Road Warrior Max Pigman was a great speaker, for the benefit of the non-YP (aka …
By Nobu Hata, 2009 NAR Conference Blogger Friday night’s NAR/YPN get-together was unlike any other REALTOR event I’d ever been to. Members of 47 national chapters networking, talking shop, and bouncing questions off each other, not to further their business, but to further their YPN cause both locally and nationally. A group of people taking this new, open, collaborative model of real …

That is so true, especially here at the NAR Annual Conference and Expo currently taking place here in beautiful San Diego, California. If you want to find out where the hot sessions are, where the go-getters, YPNers, and motivated agents are while at the …
By Brian Copeland, 2009 NAR Conference Blogger Coming from one of the “land locked” states, Tennessee, I sometimes forget the perks of coming to a place like San Diego.
