There’s not shortage of events and subscription offerings aiming to educate real estate agents and brokers. They’ll help you use Pinterest, Facebook, FourSquare, Google+, Twitter. They’ll help you understand CRMs, what apps you should be using, how to blog, how to grow your sphere.

But should you spend the money, or not?

Via Seth Godin:

“I’ll just watch and take notes,” is inconsistent with, “I’m here to learn.”

Are you ready to learn, or do you just want to take notes? They most certainly are not the same. If you’re simply a notetaker, you are wasting your money…no matter what event or subscription you are paying for.
