Regarding the success seminar tonight (Tuesday), it was wonderful to meet Brian Brady in person, and to see Jay Thompson and the other familiar faces (Matthew Hardy & his lovely bride) but a special thanks to Allen Butler and Greg Swann. Also, I need to mention that Greg and his bride, Cathy bought me a wonderful surprise gift – a video ipod. Totally unexpected, and a delightful and much appreciated gesture. (now I can see and hear myself more!:-)
It looks like we now have a direction for the future. I would like to use what we have as a base and in addition get any questions anybody has and respond to them via a direct video recording. We can have the responses indexed via the questions and anyone who wants to hear / see the answer to that question can watch that video. Allan can direct me regarding any needed equipment and Greg now has the web space to host all of this. Feel free to fire away with questions – I won’t
be able to get to all of them at once, but we can get started with the video postings soon.

I received the following via email. The panel will most likely consist of me, Jo Ann Calloway, Walt Danley and Mike Mendoza. If you aren’t from the Phoenix area those names might not mean much. If you are – you will recognize each of their names as leaders in the industry. I am really looking forward to meeting the new commissioner, as I have heard only really good things about him. I am posting this now, as I suggest you make your reservation early – this will be standing room only.

Hi Russell,
It was a pleasure to speak with you last week about being on our expert panel at the event being hosted to provide Sam Wercinski with a professional forum to explain his future vision of ADRE. As we get closer to the event, the message below will be altered to include the names of the panelist. Also, as promised, you will be given the questions in advance.
The message below is being sent to agents all over the valley – not just KW agents. Please feel free to send this message to agents and advocates of your own. Our seating is limited to about 200, but there will be standing room if needed.

Russell,
Many thanks for the valuable information last night. I am trying to adapt your advice to loan originators and have found that a listing presentation can be easily equated to an initial financial presentation. Look for posts on this soon.
What a treat to visit with you in person!
