Heading to Atlanta for RETECHSO….

What’s RETECHSO?  It’s where the real estate techies go to meet and learn.

Why Atlanta?  Many people from all over the country will be presenting tech info for real estate agents.  It’s a place to network with those from across the country, learn more about ways to serve real estate clients, and hone our tech skills.

Wednesday night is a Tweet Up, Thursday night is a special Cocktail Party for VIPs, and Friday is a closing party.  Note:  techies party-hearty.

But, the real reason for attending is to see cutting-edge technology for the real estate market.  Just take a look at the presentation of the program.  Click here.

If you want to be at the top of your game, you have to train.  It’s all about learning and implementing!!

how2educate will be putting on RETTs on 4-16, 5-14, and 6-18 (with @PhxREguy, Jay Thompson).  Much of the information on those dates will come from RETECHSO and from the Phoenix REBarCamp to be held in Scottsdale on 4-9.

Technology is about giving you more time for personal relationships!

Real Estate Tech Think-tank… SEDONA 4-16 & 5-14

What’s a real estate tech think-tank?

Ask the Phoenix Association of REALTORS(R) who recently designated one of their conference rooms to people who want to meet and talk tech.

Those of us who teach know that we learn from each other.  This is a great opportunity for those of us who belong to the Phoenix Association of REALTORS(R) to be able to rub shoulders and ask questions of the gurus like Jay Thompson, Nick Bastian, and more.

But, what if you are not in the PAR neighborhood and would like to “talk tech”?

These same gurus suggested how2educate use their offices one day a month (or more) for people to be able to drop in and discuss tech.

So we’re going to do just that.  Here’s the deal:

  • Bring your computer, or use one of ours
  • Password into our wi-fi network
  • Bring Mac or PC (I’ll need help with my new iPad)
  • No speakers – a workshop

Put this event on your calendar and come “talk tech” with us between 11 & 3.  Come and go, or stay for the whole time.  Bring a friend.

Twitter Bird Follow Me

In order to partake in the RETTredrocks, you must have a Twitter account and name.  Sign up before you come.  You don’t have to use Twitter yet – we can show you the ins-n-outs and how not to abuse Twitter by tweeting your business every second.  We’ll show you how to make friends and establish relationships.

Did I say it is FREE?

Spring Remodel in Mind?

Why not get a tax credit while doing your spring remodel?

“The Existing Home Retrofit Tax Credit (Tax Code Section 25C): Tax credits are available at 30 percent of the cost, up to a $1,500 lifetime limit, for installation in 2009 & 2010 (for existing homes only) of these products…”

For the full list of qualifying appliances and materials, click here.

I’m getting a tax credit for removing the 22 year old hot water heater and replacing it with a Rinnai tankless hot water heater.  By the way, I am extremely happy with my choice.

The choices are endless… I have my 2009 tax credit, wonder what I’ll do for 2010…
