Why VAR members REALLY come to convention + the Twitterazzi
July 3, 2008
What’s the best reason to come to VAR’s Convention & Expo 2008? It’s pretty simple, actually. You!
The opportunity to network with people like you is the reason that Virginia REALTORS® come to VAR every year. As of July 3, more than 150 people have already taken the plunge and registered.
However, there is a group of VAR members attending VAR’s Convention & Expo this year that requires special mention: The Virginia REALTOR® Twitterazzi.
For the uninitiated, Twitter is a kind of social networking site based on text messaging. There is a rather sizable contingent of REALTORS® using Twitter, and Virginia REALTORS® are notorious for their sheer numbers. You can meet them IRL (that stands for In Real Life) at VAR’s Convention & Expo 2008. Without futher ado, here are the Virginia REALTOR® Twitterazzi who are planning to be there.
Confirmed Twitterazzi:

Are you a Virginia REALTOR® Twitterazzi attending the Convention, but not on the list? Or are you a “maybe” who has decided to attend? Leave a comment and I’ll add you lickety-split!
Not a Virginia REALTOR®? We don’t care! Heck, we’re not even holding our convention in Virginia this year! So, this is an open invitation to all mid-Atlantic REALTOR® Twitter users (ahem @dezdaniels, @gotbob, @kimwood, @billlublin, @johnlauber, @ravishah, and @sarahwv), you can be a part of the fun, too! You can drive or take the train into Baltimore for a fun-filled tweetup with the notorious Virginia REALTOR® Twitterazzi. If nothing less, please plan to attend our unofficial afterparty on Friday, September 26 at 7 p.m.
Learn to use social media marketing from REALTORS® who ACTUALLY use it themselves
June 30, 2008
You’ve heard the hype from VAR and other sources about using social medias like blogs, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to get new clients. But you may be wondering, that’s great, but how do I actually do that stuff for my business?
There’s a session at VAR’s Convention & Expo just for you! It’s called Social Media for the Technologically Challenged and it’s on Saturday, September 27 at 2 p.m.
This session with Tony Arko and Danilo Bogdanovic, two boots-on-the-floor REALTORS® who are raking in clients using social media marketing, will demonstrate how agents can profit from a well-implemented social media marketing strategy. You’ll learn the difference between the many types of social media sites, and how to use them to increase your real estate business. Arko and Bogdanovic promise to help you increase your referral business and sphere of influence by becoming a trusted real estate expert through social media marketing.
This session will help you get past the theoretical so that you can start deploying these powerful relationship-building tools in your business.
