Northwest Living | Bellingham Real Estate Market

I just attended the annual Washington Association of Realtors meetings in Bellevue, WA held at the Meydenbauer Convention Center.  This years conference was held October 5-6th. It was another successful event with two full days of continuing education classes, full day of trade show and many other events surrounding this 2006 conference.  I highly recommend all Realtors to attend this event every year to improve their education and get to know other Realtors in our market area.

   During the two day conference I attended several classes.  One of my favorite’s was REALTORS and Blogs taught by Russ Cofano & Dustin Luther.  It was a very informative seminar on the basics of blogs and how to start one for our own business.  Russ Cofano, an awesome speaker in my opinion, blended his 15 years of experience as a speaker along with Dustin Luther, the guy that created a very popular blog in the Seattle, Wa area called Rain City Guide.  I would also review Russ Cofano’s web site called Realty Objectives.

In the afternoon session I attended Ralph Roberts class called How to Explode your Business through the use of a virtual assistant.  Ralph Roberts is considered the ”Michael Jordan” of residential real estate sales in the United States market.

On Friday October 6, 2006 I attended a full day of classes on The Economics of Real Estate in Today’s Market, put on by John Tuccilo.  He is one of the foremost real estate and housing finance economists in the United States.

The trade show was awesome as usual, with over 150 title companys, banks, real estate software companys, home inspectors and many more segments of the real estate business.
