I’ll take a party with hurricanes over a Hurricane Party any day of the week.

Mark – nice work with the updates during the conference.

Hurricane Parties are THE ABSOLUTE BEST! …..plus, 120-mph winds are for babies….we like to live on the edge and go surfing before a big storm hits – it’s what makes Miami MIAMI! (did you say take the shoes off?? huh?)

i’m with andy on this one in that i didn’t expect to learn much new from the material but will always accept whatever is new. the real gold always lies in the folks you get to meet… the meeting of genius minds (whether you get social media or not, you are still genius) is what pushes individuals, companies, and industries forward.

what does need to be praised is that fact that this was an unproven event, not heavily marketed, on an “obscure” niche in real estate… yet people still came from across the country to attend. that is testament to the influence of social media.

if you weren’t able to attend (heck, even if you were), feel free to grab my mindmap notes of the event at HomeStomper

Ines pulling AG rank on me! That’s just cold! C;mon..I’ve been playing nice. Share the love Jonathan!

Hurricanes only come once in a while and we stay inside and have parties!

The whole “dry heat” thing makes me chafe. And Shaq said it was unbearable. See he plays there but lives here!

Larry – EVERYTHING to do with the migration path of snowbirds. I got an e-mail from someone in eastern Canada the other day, either Toronto or Ottawa (one of those places where the hockey team didn’t last long) and kept wondering if they were lost.

Not that I’m not happy to work with eastern Canadians, mind you, but the costs of airfare alone are considerable higher coming down here than going to Florida.

Of course, avoiding locations with 120-mph winds could be a selling point for the desert but that’s another story for a time when I’m ready to duck what Ines and Barry throw at me.

The entrance fee would buy a lot of beer … or mojitos, Ines. I wish I’d been able to participate more in the social side and I could have had my scheduled allowed. Downtown Phoenix is only 20 minutes from my home office, after all.

As for Canadian buyers, they aren’t all that different than anyone else. They want someone they can trust. They want someone who understands their needs. And they want an agent who knows to take off their shoes when viewing a home.
