Announcing a New FormatFor those of you that may have missed it, Wednesday night's Real Estate Insider Club meeting was outstanding. We have changed the format of the meeting and we're getting rave reviews on the new structure. That being said, Wednesday night marked our last meeting at the Orleans as we are updating our club venue to Tommy Bahamas Restaurant in the new Town Square Las Vegas on the south Strip (215 and 15 interchange at the Southeast corner) right near Fry’s Electronics. The address is 6635 Las Vegas Blvd. South.
The new format will take out the hour long sales pitches that have slowly creeped in to stagnate the club atmosphere. The new format will focus very heavily on networking along with a panel of featured speakers and a round table discussion on the night’s topic.
A Recap of the Evening
Last night's meeting featured the 2010 Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors President Elect Rick Shelton. Rick spoke for about 30 minutes and discussed such topics as the local market, inventory, price bottoms, and the current financial crisis.
Next, Kyle Sprague of Pre Paid Legal shared with us the very economical services that are offered thru his company and how individuals can use the service to protect ourselves against identity theft.
Local Realtor on the street Scott Meservey was on hand as usual to give us the local update on the Las Vegas market.
Author, rehabber and former financial planner, Rich Warren spoke about the economy and how the current data compares to historic figures.
Of course yours truly host and founder Glenn Plantone emceed the event and offered my opinions and observations regarding the foreclosures I am finding and selling to my investors. Over the last three months I have sold 15 properties in the northwest. These properties are all foreclosures and all cash deals with the exception of only two that were financed, and all to investors except one to an owner/occupant.
The meeting ran about one and a half hours and ended with a round table discussion with myself, Rick, Scott, and Rich answering questions and giving our thoughts and opinions on the real estate market. As usual there were prized and giveaways. Gary Crouch of Designer Hometending was our big winner taking home a custom Tommy Bahama shirt.
