Realty Executives International Associates to Gather at 2008 Convention in San Diego

RISMEDIA, March 10, 2008-Realty Executives International agents and brokers from around the globe will gather at The Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego March 17 – 20 for the company’s 21st annual convention.

The theme for the 2008 convention is, “It’s All About You,” telling the story of the company’s commitment to tools, education and networking for its sales associates and brokerage owners. Nearly 1,000 of these esteemed associates from across the world are anticipated to participate in the annual event.

Planned events feature a stimulating line-up of speakers established to motivate and offer insight into the evolving real estate business, including an emphasis on how agents and brokers can continue to grow their businesses despite current market conditions in the United States. Convention highlights include highly-anticipated presentations by the following.

James Arthur Ray was selected as the convention key note speaker because he is a well-known business leader who has achieved top honors as a thriving entrepreneur, motivational speaker and corporate coach appearing in the new feature film, “The Secret” as well as appearances on Oprah, Larry King Live and The Today Show. Often called “the rock star of personal transformation,” Ray is known to excite audiences with practical and spiritual strategies and principals valuable in a variety of industries, especially real estate. With an extensive background as an entrepreneur and corporate consultant, his presentation will focus on creating wealth in all areas of your life: financially, relationally, intellectually, physically and spiritually.

Anne Randolph is managing partner of Murray Consulting and publisher of LORE Magazine, which caters to top-producing real estate professionals. Drawing from her rich background in real estate data research and analysis, Randolph will offer a informative seminar on what is affecting the real estate industry today and offer statistics and data to support her findings.

Jerry Rossi is an acclaimed real estate author. He is an ePro trainer, arming Realtors with successful tools for marketing homes online. His book Dog Eat Dog & Vice Versa: 9 Secrets To Put The Bite Into Your Marketing is a guide to marketing in the 21st century with a touch of humor. During the convention, Rossi will focus on holistic goal setting and prioritizing a healthy balance in life.

Jeff Crilley, a Dallas TV reporter, will teach Realty Executives agents and brokers to take advantage of local news coverage for positive positioning in the community and to help improve brand recognition.

“We have truly outdone ourselves this year,” said Rich Rector, president and CEO of Realty Executives International. “Our speakers, this destination and our session programming are some of the best conference elements I’ve seen. I’m confident our agents and brokers will leave this year’s event with practical industry knowledge that will directly benefit their businesses and lead to increased success.”

In addition to the presentations and training offered, numerous networking opportunities are available to convention attendees. The beautiful waterfront location of the Manchester Grand Hyatt, 1 Market Place, makes it a top-notch destination for sales associates to visit.

As is typically done, the company says that Realty Executives agents will dedicate one day of the convention to build a new home or homes for needy families in San Diego as part of the company’s worldwide charitable Homes from the Heart program. Through this company-wide program, agents work in conjunction with local Habitat for Humanity chapters to help fund and build homes for the less fortunate. More than 50 agents are expected to participate in the construction project March 19 at 2578 Roosevelt St. Carlsbad, Calif. The day’s project will entail work on an 11-unit condominium. To date, the company has raised more than $1.5 million for the program.
