I am not very good at this, but here it goes anyways. Went to the REOMAC conference in Hollywood last week. What a great experience. It was everything I expected and much more. Met lots of nice people and learned a lot from the pros. I am not a member and unfortunately they are not accepting new members at this time, but I would love to become one whenever is possible, its a great organization. I went with another agent friend who is also an REO agent. Since we are in Miami, we just drove there everyday, only about 45 minutes. They had an exhibition hall and we had the chance to personally meet reps from some of the companies that we deal with, from preservation companies to asset managers. The last day we had a brokers only session where we met with some of the most experienced and successful REO agents nationwide and they answered questions and gave advice. Also the last day we attended lender roundtables and were able to interact with them. There was a friendly atmosfere, the food was good, it was just a great experience overall, can't wait for the next one.
I too went to REOMAC and met with many agents from other forums. That was really cool to put a name to a face. Interacting with them and at the meals with other agents around the country was invaluable experience. I did enjoy the sessions and my expectations of meeting asset managers were low since this was my first time so I was not disappointed. I did tell my current asset managers that I went and they were very happy to hear that I spent the money and time to attend. They know that if I stay on top of trends and industry standards that makes me a better LA. Can't wait for the next one, it was loads of fun!
I am very glad it was a great experience. As I have always stated, these conferences are a great networking tool and can open the doors for many people.
