I spent 3 days in Phoenix, Arizona attending the Bloodhound Unchained real estate marketing conference and I must say I’m fried 
But in a good way of course. Whenever you get a chance to meet your fellow real estate bloggers, agents and technologists in person it’s a treat. Considering it doesn’t happen that often, taking advantage of education and networking opportunities can pay huge dividends - in business and in life. There’s just something about meeting face to face that can never be replicated online. In fact, online communication is just the introduction, real world interaction is where the real magic happens. I call it the power of love.
Sunday night, Kelley Koehler - a.k.a Housechick, Andy Kaufman, Brad Coy and I made the trek from Phoenix to Scottsdale to meet some of our real estate blogger brethren. We met with Steve Belt, Jonathan Dalton, Jay Thompson, John L. Wake, Christoph Schweiger and Damon Pace. We tasted some fresh local brew, while sharing some fresh ideas. Good friends, good times.
