Last week we had the honor of being invited to a special session of The Leading Real Estate Companies of the World Conference bringing together the world’s preeminent real estate authorities to engage, innovate and lead the industry forward. The conference was attended by the most accomplished professionals in the industry, representing 65 countries in six continents.
This special session SUMMIT was open exclusively to sales associates affiliated with LeadingRE, an invitation-only network of the highest quality independent real estate companies. Attendees explored how to leverage the latest trends that are driving the real estate market, the global economy, home technology, and more – with a focus on meeting the needs of today’s home buyers and sellers.
We developed deeper connections with our elite colleagues in the industry from Spain, New Zealand, San Fransisco, Italy and more! Fostering these relationships gives our team a global reach. If our clients are interested in relocating anywhere in the world, we have professional contacts who can offer invaluable insight. In addition, our listings in the Washington region can gain further exposure beyond our immediate close-in community.
