Reaping The Benefits By Engaging With Local Trade Groups
Many today are caught up in this new social structure which makes it possible to open communication between individuals, groups, or even organizations. Generally, there is a common interest or shared value between those who open up this line of communication whether it be through a blog site, Q & A, or a social networking site such as FaceBook, Trulia, or ActiveRain (just to name a few). A whole new language lies within this social networking such as nodes, or ‘the social capital,’ and the list goes on.
This new relationship building base has evolved from years of people wanting to develop common ground between each other. More than likely the text books from my old Sociology Courses in college are being completely rewritten, if not revamping the entire course, to meet this new format of ‘sociology,’ especially at the rapid pace that social networks are advancing.
Within the Realty World system, not only are we moving our members beyond what they ever imagined in social networking, but we have other very high-powered programs for our members to build stronger business models for themselves. One of the most powerful programs to engage in is our local Trade Groups. As it states in the Operating Rules of the Trade Groups, the intention of the Trade Group is “to take advantage of Realty World synergism by pooling ideas, resources, and training activities for the purpose of solving common problems and promoting common benefits among the members of the group.”
In the same realm of the Realty World social networking initiatives, the Realty World Trade Groups are going to move to a new level under a new format that includes agents in the meeting, training, more in depth networking, and yes, the building of stronger relationships not only between the members but the common communities they serve. We invite everyone to find a new commitment and become a part of their local Trade Group.

I don’t know how anyone could function without one. We have several contracts in place for discounted advertising and exposure. Some of the contracts are with the Sacramento Bee, The Sacramento Magazine, Real Estate Buyers Guide and we even have a booth at the California State Fair. If we did not have a Trade Group, none of the individual offices would be able to procure these services at the deep discounts we receive.
We have a short pitch your listings, any wants and needs and even training at each meeting too. The Realty World Capitol Trade Group invites Brokers and Agents to the meetings. They are held every third Wednesday of the Month at Fidelity National Title Company, 7806 Madison Ave, Fair Oaks, CA at 10:00 am. Come visit.
