"We are in the midst of an industry revolution where
real estate will never be the same,” said Weichert Affiliates President Martin
J. Rueter. “Real estate professionals must be radical, be boisterous, be
different, and of course, be the very best.”
Each year the company hosts members from
across its ever-growing roster of approximately 300 offices in 36 states to
share sales, marketing, and recruiting techniques and provide network opportunities,
keynote speakers, and entertainment throughout the three day event.
Rueter, who has led
the expansion of the franchise network since its introduction, will remind
agents, brokers and managers that the Weichert organization “has always been revolutionary
by rising up against the status quo, discarding tired ways of doing business.” He, along with a staff of session leaders, will
equip conventioneers for what he calls the “tougher, new revolution taking
place in our business, in the country, around the world.”
This year’s event will feature a number of informative and interactive
seminars. The REO network session will
review how the marketing strength and proven sales systems of Weichert help
move non-performing real estate inventory quickly for clients. A seminar entitled “Getting the Appointment”
will focus on skills to create immediate response from prospects. “Thawing
Today’s Buyer” will provide dialogue to educate buyers on why now is the right
time to buy. Other session topics
include management dynamics, commercial investment opportunity, agent Web sites
and online marketing, referrals, and time management.
“We are proud to say that the offices that
affiliate with Weichert are well respected companies who share our core values
and commitment to superior service,” Rueter said of the consistently growing
reputation for quality that has attracted top offices across country and
contributed to its ongoing expansion.
“At this convention, we plan to celebrate the franchises, and especially
the agents, and provide them with more ammunition to fight the revolution.”
