The theme for the Florida Realtors’ 2014 Conference & Trade Expo is productivity, profitability and professionalism wrapped around a festive “Carn-a-val” theme.
Registration is underway now for the Aug. 13-17 event, to be held in Orlando, at conference.floridarealtors.org.
It features a variety of sessions, speakers and world-class entertainment. The event also provides networking opportunities for more than 2,500 Realtors and affiliates.
• 90 Listings in 90 Days: Nothing more effectively and immediately improves your real estate business than a large listings inventory. Craig Reger explains how he challenged himself to get 90 listings in 90 days — and accomplished that goal. He offers ideas that can “dramatically change your business tomorrow.”
• What’sNext: Being Brilliant:Seven-time author Simon Bailey kicks off the conference by revealing the power of being brilliant in all you do. He’ll be joined by the Florida Realtors 2014 leadership team.
• Keynote awards luncheon: Florida Realtors honors its own at a ticketed event, including recognizing the Humanitarian of the Year and Realtor of the Year. The keynote speaker, Liz Murray, started life as the child of cocaine-addicted parents. At age 15, her mother died and she was homeless. But she earned her high school diploma in just two years and won a scholarship to Harvard that would turn her bleak circumstances into a future of limitless possibilities.
• General session with Mike Ferry: For more than 40 years, Ferry has taught and mentored real estate pros, explaining his original techniques to associates in their first or fiftieth year in the business.
