There’s a new series of in person events starting soon from my friends Rob Hahn and Sue Adler (Sue is a client of Virtual Results) — HearItDirect. From the about page:

There has been a missing voice in real estate. Although there is no shortage of learning opportunities for the working REALTOR® between all of the great conferences, REBarCamps, MasterMinds, coaches, and bloggers, there is no opportunity to hear directly from the people who matter most: the buyer or seller.

Until Now. 

Hear It Direct is a series of full-day Real Estate Consumer Conferences held in different local markets throughout the country. Created by nationally-recognized real estate experts, the event presents a unique opportunity for industry professionals to hear the unfiltered voice of the consumer, telling them in person what they think, what they want, what they value, and what is a waste of time. Through intimate panel discussions and technology use demonstrations, event attendees will benefit from real perspectives that will help them reinvent their businesses in the midst of the new Consumer-Driven Real Estate Model.

The first event will take place December 7th in Charleston, South Carolina. You can register here: http://hearitdirect-eorg.eventbrite.com/

I won’t be in attendance, but I certainly will be curious what learnings come out of this interaction with real buyers and sellers.
