Inman News will be entering New York City this January for their next Connect event. The west coast version has long proved to be a must-attend function for real estate professionals and the east coast versions is proving to be as important. I attended last year’s NYC conference and got a lot out of it, especially networking with others. As a panel member I learned that Brad will keep the show rolling, despite any snafus or delays. (Brad: I now know where you do your dry cleaning.)
Useless observation: If the conference is held at the Marriott/Times Square, why does the photo banner look like its taken from Trump International Hotel on a low floor (too far north to be in Time Warner/Columbus Circle [1])?
But I digress.
This year I am moderating a panel which as an appraiser and valuation consultant [2], covers a topic that is near and dear to my heart:
VALUATION: New Tools to Set Buyer and Seller Expectations [3]
The panelists are being confirmed now. So far we have:
- Marty Frame [4], CIO, Fidelity National Real Estate Solutions
- Jeff Somers, Director of Partner Services, Zillow.com
Valuation is a real sensitive topic right now because of changing market conditions. Feel free to forward questions or suggestions to me for the panelists, or names of panelists you’d like to see. [5]
I am also really looking forward to meeting individuals whom I have admired their work from a distance plus reconnecting with friends and colleagues…hmmm.. “connecting” now I get it, Real Estate “Connect.”
I find that conferences like these are what make the lightbulb go off in my head. A lot of ideas are thrashed around. Its better than coffee.
