Well, I’m back from the 2010 Vendor/Broker Conference in Orlando, Florida.
It was a great opportunity for me to take in sessions covering the latest real estate property processing methods and vendor regulations.
I attend these real estate/REO conferences because they offer a great opportunity to network with my peers and clients. I always enjoy an opportunity to meet up with people in person and chat about business.
This year’s conference included three education tracks covering valuations Broker Price Opinions (BPO), REO servicing, and field services.
Most sessions were designed to help real estate agents increase business using CoreLogic. The secondary focus was helping attendees understand expectations from our clients and federal agencies and learn real estate best practices.
Some of the sessions offered this year included:
- Valuation technology and trends
- Insights into working with asset managers
- Eviction and property preservation best practices
- Quality improvement solutions
- How scorecard ratings work and how they can lead to more broker /vendor business
The keynote speaker was James “The Ragin’ Cajun” Carville, Author, Political Consultant, and Commentator. His keynote was an analysis of past and present politics and he shared his thoughts on current events, the administration of Barack Obama, the 2010 mid-term elections and the challenges facing the major political parties.
Unfortunately, I had to leave the conference early because of a random emergency. I actually slipped at the event and blew my left knee out. This resulted in a night in the ER and an earlier than expected departure. The good news is I was extremely well taken care of at the event hotel and the hospital. Everyone was so amazingly caring and considerate, which made a major injury easier to bear.
Now, I have about eight weeks of crutches to look forward to–at least my upper body will get a good work out.
