The theme of this year’s event — Beyond the Brokerage — focused on how today’s CRE professionals can evolve beyond traditional deal-making to become trusted advisors, investors, and leaders in their communities.

Through a series of panel discussions and interactive sessions, our speakers shared their personal journeys, daily routines, business development strategies, and the lessons they’ve learned along the way. Topics ranged from market updates and alternative income streams to leadership, consulting, and adapting to shifts in interest rates, insurance, and multifamily investment climates.

Highlights included lively discussions on:

• Building multiple income streams and consulting opportunities

• Adjusting strategies in the face of rising interest rates and post-COVID trends

• Insights from successful brokers on lead generation and client relationships

• Practical advice for agents navigating today’s challenges

To cap off the day, attendees enjoyed raffle prizes including an Insta360 Gimbal, Apple AirPods, Beats Pro Headphones, a Travel Monitor, an Oura Ring, and a Meta Quest VR headset.
