Speed Networking: Does it really work?

September 28, 2008

I had the opportunity to participate in a speed networking session this afternon as part of my attendence.  As a quick overview this session was approximately 14 people who spoke with each other regarding themselves (and their real estate businesses) for just few minutes before switching and doing the same with another person until everyone had networked.

I have been social networking with other real estate professionals for several months and have made many good contacts through it.  I was curious to see if a condensed real life networking with fellow REALTORS(r) that I had never met before. 

In my opinion I felt it was a great experience.  I made several solid contacts with people in localities where I did not currently have an agent to defer to if I had a customer interested in that particular area.  Actually one agent I spoke with had a SOI clients living in my local market and looking for an professional to assist them with their real estate needs.  I am curious to see how that turns out.

The most interesting thing I took away with me were the conversations.  I position myself slightly differently in the indsutry and my expereinces were well-received and brought out the curiousness of many people.
