The business of real estate is transacted face-to-face . . ."},"content":{"rendered":"

The RE.net is abuzz about this week’s Inman’s Real Estate Connect in New York<\/a>, but the coming week owns an embarrassment of trade show riches.<\/p>\n

Also on tap this week: The Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And, best of all: The Macworld Conference and Expo in San Francisco<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These are all basically vendor shows, despite the hype — or, rather, in support<\/i> of the hype. The big news will come from Apple, of course, and much of the ‘news’ coming out of the other two shows will be fun to make fun of. I get no end of mileage out of the goofy crap corporate weenies try to foist off on long-suffering Realtors.<\/p>\n

We’ll be here, taking it all in, of course. But mainly we’ll be here working. This is the first selling weekend in the New Year. We’re showing. We’re listing. And we’re not<\/i> wasting the precious time of a finite life. Fun is fun, and, of the three trade shows, I’d probably pick CES — just to be in Vegas. But I don’t go even a little bit North in the Winter, and, in any case, the business of real estate brokerage is not transacted at trade shows…<\/p>\n

Further notice:<\/i><\/b> A much-expanded version of this is posted at Inman Blog<\/a>.
