Jay and I are in DC attending the REALTOR Mid Year Conference. We arrived on Sunday night and on Monday I took an all day e-buyer class. The class was taught by fellow Bloggers Amy Chorew and Melanie McLane. While it was hard to sit in a class all day long, I really enjoyed it. And yes, I walked away feeling that the day was well spent and that I learned something.
The class was sponsored by REBAC and is one of the electives that can be taken to complete the ABR ( Accredited Buyer Rep) course requirements. I took it so that I could be certified to teach the course to fellow REALTORS when I get back home. The class was interesting and blogging and social networking sites like Active Rain was mentioned often in the class as was realestateshows.com and other web 2.0 applications.
Tuesday I took the all day REBAC Auction course, again so I could be certified to teach it in NH. Afterwards I went to the Bloggers lounge at the Omni Shoreham where I met fellow Blogger Daniel Rothamel from TheRealEstateZebra.com I had a blast talking with Daniel.
Jay joined us after he came back from the member director forum and we did a live video stream from the Bloggers lounge. It was very nice meeting Daniel, Ian Smith from CRT and Keith also from CRT (center for real estate technologies)… we missed meeting a few other bloggers during the day but I’m sure we’ll catch up with them in the next few days.
It’s going to be a very busy week in DC.

I’m not sure what Daniel used Amy. He might have it on his site.
