What was the best thing about being at Inman’s Real Estate Connect NYC 08?

Meeting people. People I’ve “known” for awhile through on-line acquaintance, people I’ve heard of and people I hadn’t. Agents, Brokers CEO’s, Directors, VP’s, Founders, A-list professional bloggers, reporters and more.

It’s all about networking…

Great to meet you at INMAN. Thanks for the blogging tips and tricks. I look forward to staying in touch. I see my business card in the photo - very cool. It’s the one with the tortoises. Best Regards.

It was good seeing you again.

Seeing my card on that table reminds me of how cool yours was with nothing else, but simply your blog address. See you in SF!

Good post. The best part of being a Mike Ferry Agent was the fact that they all got together and networked. Were all working together to do something with similar experiences.

it was great to meet you at the inman conference, please call or email me if you plan to come to Aventura, Florida.

I completely agree having come up from New Zealand to attend I consider the time and cost well worthwhile.

These conferences (this is my second) are the best in the industry.They are well resources with excellent panelists (yourself included), excellent topics and a lack of fluff - you go there to meet people, see the latest trends and to get a quick recharge of the batteries - bring on SF in August!

Also one other highlight for me was discovering so many competent bloggers - I am still a newby on our site (3 months) but the lessons to be learnt are enormous. One enlightment was Rachel Natalie Klein and here awesome videoblog - http://www.intothebox.tv - I have always been skeptical of videoblogging until I saw this.

Pretty cool that you shout out for making online friends… Maybe we will meet one day too…

That’s a lot of business cards. It’s always important to take a business card. It helps ya remember a person’s name and its a reminder to give that person a call and maybe you can make some money together.

You just reminded me of a stack of cards I have on my desk, which serve no purpose right now but to take up space. I’ll go through them and see if can find any lucrative connections.
