As I witnessed things unfold early on the day of the annual Realty World NCA event, it was impressive to watch brokers and agents all meeting and greeting each other. The thing that hit me the hardest is that this group of people that considers themselves real estate professionals, also considers each other close friends, to the point of being ‘family’ members. The conversations started off not with business talk, but instead with catching up on subjects such as family members, trips taken, mutual friends, etc., before moving to conversations of the market.
As the morning progressed, brokers worked in harmony in the Broker Council Meeting because they had a mutual cause, instead of as individual owners. Sharing ideas showed that everyone could work together to make the system work, even when there were two brokers existing within blocks of each other.
The general buzz of the day was great. In the vendor area people gained knowledge from service providers, working together in educating each other how they used that particular service in their office, with their agents, or how it cut costs by doing it a particular way. The sharing of ideas and thoughts carried from one table to another.
The unity of how the speakers were received was powerful. Individuals took topics presented into their lives as individuals, and had the opportunity to share their ideas and thoughts during breaks.
This continued throughout the day with everyone in attendance, all truly appreciating the opportunity to be together as friends and fellow professionals.

Having been in the system for only about 1 1/2 years this was my first Realty World convention. I quickly discovered that there are no strangers at these events. It truly is a family atmosphere. Impressive agenda and flawless execution. Thanks to all of you.
Someone as yourself Mark is exactly why our system works. You are one that knows that working together as a team opens the door to everyone heading toward the same professional outcome.
You are committed to success and building a team under that banner.
You are an example to all.
Thank you sir,
Dennis
