I had the privilege over the last week of attending the Leading Real Estate Companies of the World yearly conference (The Summit) in Las Vegas. Allen Tate Companies graciously sent their top 5% producing agents out there to learn, network, and relax. While I greatly enjoyed the room service and quiet solitude of a single occupancy hotel room (remember, I am a mama to 2 little ones whom I love dearly.... but man are they LOUD sometimes!), my favorite part was definitely meeting agents from other parts of the country. We attended educational breakout sessions, and there were numerous networking opportunities. I am usually not the person who gets into "networking" so to speak (so why in the world am I in real estate??), but it honestly just happened naturally. I was able to question agents from Arizona, California, Hawaii... even other Taters in other markets... about how inventory looked for the Spring, current buyer hot buttons, staging trends, etc. It was almost overwhelming the wealth of knowledge contained in that one place!
Anyway, my point in writing this is mainly to let you know that when I say "I know a great agent in that market", I mean it! If you are moving or even thinking of moving, chances are I have a personal contact from your destination who will be more than happy to connect with you and help you in any way they can. They can provide neighborhood research, school info, etc. Even in markets where I don't have a personal contact, I can find you one... but to be able to say "I personally know such and such" is to me just a very cool thing and yet another example of how Allen Tate agents really are your trusted advisors!
