Think Forward: Renew Reinvent Reconnect

Staying connected and meeting new contacts is more important than ever in today's time. As the author Thomas Friedman puts it, "The World is Flat"; we are all interconnected, and the more connected you are, the more rapport you build, the better off you'll be.


It's a great time to get involved with the community and Real Estate Associations, one that I've actively been involved with is AREAA (areaa.org). The Asian Real Estate Assocation of America has been the leading RE organization in the past decade. It started off as an organization to help the American dream of home-ownership setting high standards for the community. With their recent visit in D.C. meeting with Mr. Obama to discuss how to recover the market to international trips to China, Thailand, Vietnam for Trade Missions to meet with the International Investors, AREAA's certainly thinking outside the box and staying ahead of the game.




I encourage you to get involved with your local AREAA Chapter. And they are having their annual convention "Think Forward: Renew Reinvent Reconnect" coming up on September 23-25 at the Bellagio, Vegas (areaa.org/convention). They will cover everything from REOs, Asset Management Roundtable, Commercial Real Estate, Investment, International business opportunities, Social Media and most importantly best networking events/parties I've ever been to! And a special guest appearance from HGTV's Property brothers at the Keynote Luncheon!


Why are we having the convention in Vegas this year?




I have volunteered with AREAA on a local level in helping them promote their events (AREAA LA/Tri-County), representing as an AREAA Edge Ambassador (the Young Network Professional Network) and now am bringing awareness through Media as the AREAA National On-screen Reporter. Find out why RE professionals are involved at my AREAA News Network channel (youtube.com/areaanewsnetwork).


Here's a Recap from last year's Convention:

Jacki's Title Updates

Hello My valued Clients & Friends!

As your dedicated Title Rep, my job began as another Account Executive job in 2006, to bring you the fastest quality Preliminary Title Report, the Farm packages, Property Profiles, Plat Maps, Accommodations and to insure that your client's property will be free & clear of liens.

While I guarantee that Ticor Title provides the best service in those fundamental Title needs, I have learned that to accelerate in this market, you need to offer a whole lot more. As a Title Rep, a Realtor, a Commercial Broker, a Developer, a Banker, Escrow Officer, in any business, simply doing your job is not enough. Being "good" isn't enough, you now need to be Outstanding. It is about finding your true Brand, identifying your Niche, aiming high goals, continually think outside the Box and constantly re-inventing yourself. I have grown my business approximately by 40% every year since the economy-crisis in 2008. This year, I'm on my way to doubling my income. There is no coincidence or luck, only working smart and creative. And of course, some play at the end of the day to reward yourself.

I decided to start this blog as a Go-To spot for all the latest Real Estate Updates! I will include an archive of E-newsletters I send out, everything Title Insurance, Explanations of Real Estate/Escrow terms, Fraud updates, Real Estate Seminars/Conventions/Networking Events going on in the area, the latest news and more! Feel free to leave comments on what you'd like to see more of as I'd love to make this blog as interactive as possible. I am grateful for all your continued support and trust. Let's finish 2012 up strong!!
