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).
