Imagine a world where real estate agents could predict the future. They’d know exactly which areas were about to boom, which trends were about to take off, and which strategies were about to become obsolete.
Now, as the market is undeniably changing across the country, it’s imperative to put your best foot forward. At Pinnacle Realty Advisors, we believe in empowering our agents and partners to stay ahead of the curve. That’s why it’s beyond exciting to announce our upcoming virtual event, “ResiRE: Are you Ready for the Changing Real Estate Industry?” It will bring together some of the brightest minds in the industry, including Tim Herman (CEO at UpEquity), Eric Eckardt (Founder at Veracrest), and Mindy Wardlaw (Realtor at Pinnacle Realty Advisors), to share their insights on current trends and emerging business models.
ResiRE will take place on Wednesday, May 10, 2023, from 10 AM to 11:30 Central Time. And the best part? It’s completely virtual! That’s right – you can join from the comfort of your own home or office, without having to worry about travel or accommodations. Moreover, a video recording of the event will be accessible, and ticket holders will receive the link, giving them access to rewatch it anytime they want!
