On Being A Real Estate Innovator/Geek-San Francisco, Realtor and Blogger Connect SF

Turn here, Live Deal, Sellsius, StreetAdvisor, do you know these real estate websites? They are all here in San Francisco this week. I came to San Francisco for the Real Estate Connect conference put on by Inman News. I plan to come back to Seattle having learned quite a bit about blogging, the latest real estate trends and innovations. The real estate world is constantly changing. It's exciting and fun for me to keep up with all the new "stuff" and bring the latest data and marketing ideas to the table. Who knew this inner geek would come out! I'm here to find out more about how technology can help me provide the latest marketing tools to my clients.

We will hear from Dustin Luther of Move.com. the founder of RainCity.com, Rich Barton of Zillow, Glen Kelman of Redfin, J. Lennox Scott of John L. Scott, interesting that they are all people from Seattle. Seattle is a hub of new ideas and it is clear that we can see this by the Seattle companies at this conference. Competition for me? No problem, there is room for all of us out there in the real estate world. (Of course, it never hurts for me to find out what the competition is doing!)

Over 1700 people are here from all over the country, excuse me, the world, to learn about what is new and exciting and different. Actually there were people from all over the world in attendance. The man sitting behind me in the audience is from Perth, Australia! At a meeting later in the afternoon, there were even more people from Australia, New Zealand, and Romania.

This afternoon I heard about some great things with Zillow and The National Association of Realtors, but it is about 11 PM and it's been a long day of meetings. So, stay tuned. When I catch my breath, maybe after I return to Seattle, I will post several different blogs about what I learned at Blogger and Real Estate Connect.
