Over the last two weeks, I had the pleasure representing Trulia at 2 real estate bar camps - #rebcden in Denver, Colorado and #rebcphl in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. If you’re not sure what an rebarcamp is, don’t worry, you’re not alone. Essentially, it’s a gathering of like minded people who have a passion for real estate, marketing, technology, social media, blogging and more. Throughout the day via various breakout sessions, attendees share their knowledge, experiences, tips and strategies with each other. It’s about learning, teaching, listening, sharing, educating and gaining ideas that can help them in business and in life. It’s all about building quality relationships.

Rebarcamp Denver proved to be a huge success. Kristal Kraft, Vali Wimberly and their Denver team organized and set the stage for a smooth flowing, faced paced day of learning and sharing.
Jeff Turner wowed the crowd with his opening presentation - “I cut my own grass” - His metaphor for using what works for you in social media. There are many tools that can get the job done, but you have to decide which ones work best for you.

I’m a fan of new technology and love testing new products and services. At #rebcphl, I tested Tweetmic, a new iPhone app that allows you to tweet your audio recordings directly from your iPhone. To put it through a real world test, I interviewed various attendees of bar camp and asked them to share one social media tip under 20 seconds or so. To listen to them all, click this twitter search link under the hashtag #trulia tweetmic - really great stuff!
It’s always great seeing old friends and making new friends. The ReBarCamp movement is something special and just seems to grow in interest and attendance with each one. If you haven’t attended one yet, go for it. The amount of information you can learn in one day is invaluable. At the end of the day, it’s about giving more than you receive. It’s all about relationships. Cherish the ones you have and nurture the new ones you make.
Hope to see you at the next one…… #rebcboston, here we come…..
P.S. - Trulia is helping host the 1st annual anniversary for #rebcsf on August 4th along with the innaugural San Francisco crew including Andy Kaufman, Brad Coy, Todd Carpenter and Ginger Wilcox.
