Realtors Conference & Expo 2009
Let’s face it: real estate has been hard this year and because of this, the 2009 Realtors Conference & Expo should be a must-visit, if you are a realtor in the United States of America. No time would be better than now to invest in networking and education for your personal business and you can do so this weekend in San Diego.
From November 13 to 16, the National Association of Realtors will hold the 2009 Realtors Conference & Expo in San Diego, so get ready for the latest upturn in the industry and think about taking part today. This year’s main sessions include:
- One hour with the commissioner of the Federal Housing Administration, David Stevens, who will talk about today’s primary issues such as appraisals, condominium rules, loan limits, and solutions for the insurance fund of the FHA.
- Testing your presence on-camera with the host of HGTV’s Real Estate Intervention, Sabrina Soto, through an interactively simulated home walk-through. Plus, she will share tactics that can be put to use in your personal marketing plan.
- A political and legislative forum by political insiders Bill Press and Michael Murphy, who will talk about the ever-evolving political landscape, as well as how this will impact the races of the House and Senate from their very own perspectives.
Plus, you’ll even get the chance to meet William Shatner on Saturday, November 14 from 1 to 4 p.m. If you happen to be a realtor who is also an avid fan of Boston Legal or Star Trek, you will not want to miss out on this opportunity to get his autograph or pose for a photo with him, would you?
Besides, San Diego in itself is worth the time to visit. If you miss the summer weather or simply need to take a break from everyday life, San Diego would be the perfect place to kick back and relax, with November being the city’s sunniest month of the year.
If you’re worried about shelling out too much cash and your budget is quite tight at the moment, here are some ways you can save money on your trip to the conference:
1. Opt for registrations that will fit your personal schedule and needs. Passes for the expo itself are $25, while passes for one whole day are going for $130 and passes for the entire conference are $330.
2. Room with somebody. (There are several low rates still available if you book now.)
3. Take the shuttle. To get to the Convention Center itself, there are complimentary shuttles from various hotels and you can even get a cheap airport shuttle from the National Association of Realtors.
San Diego meetings are always something worthwhile. Recently coined as the country’s top meetings and conventions destination, visitors enjoy exploring this urban playground. Not only will you be surrounded by fun and the sun, but there are tons of attractions that you will love in San Diego, as well. Trust me.

All of a sudden it sounds much more interesting. I’d really like to know what David Stevens, Michael Murphy and Bill Press have to say about the Federal Government being more involved in our day to day lives.

Real estate investing is basically investment concerning land and anything that is fixed to it. In general, it is purchasing, owning, managing, leasing, or selling any real estate property.
This kind of investing has always been popular to those who have money as it is capital-intensive

I have never been able to attend Realtors Conference & Expo in the US but have been to similar here in the UK. They can be very interesting indeed.

Ryan,
It was good and there were some interesting updates but a lot of the information were items we have all heard before. I can’t think of anything or 1 item that really stuck out but hearing marketing ideas and having them fresh in your mind can really help get you motivated.

That’s disappointing to hear that. It’s such a great opportunity for them to communicate fresh & new ideas. I guess I’m glad I saved the money. It’s amazing how much you can learn just by staying current with ActiveRain posts!
