I recently had the privilege of being a speaker at the recent Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® Fall Workshop in Providence, RI. The meeting attracted brokers, managers and relocation professionals from Leading Real Estate Companies of the World®, a global network of 600 premier real estate firms.

In the session titled, “What You Need to Know About Technology for Sales Associates”, I shared insights on social media to help educate fellow LeadingRE members. Technology is changing the way we do business. It’s important for brokerages and agents to stay on top of what’s available to them to help increase their business and provide the kind of service today’s consumer expects and deserves.

The session was part of the larger meeting program, which addressed a variety of real estate topics on ways to best meet the needs of home buyers and sellers in today’s challending market.

“Although the core principles relating to effective real estate services have not changed, other factors – such as market conditions, technology and communication preferences – are continuously evolving,” Pam O’Connor, president/CEO of Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® said.  “Our Fall Workshop series gives members the opportunity to share with other top real estate professionals the best strategies to create exceptional customer experiences and remain market leaders.”

The agenda also featured a preview of new LeadingRE programs that further support the professional development of member firms:  the network’s online learning platform, Institute 2.0, and “OUR WORLD”– an industry-first program that leverages social media for business results.
