We can't imagine EVER missing a State Convention for REALTORS put on by F.C. Tucker - Indiana's Largest Real Estate Company established in 1918 ! Since the year 2000 we've been affiliated with Indiana's Biggest (and to us, THE BEST).. here are just a few AMAZING Statistics:
- 47 Offices
- Over 1100 Sales Associates
- Over $2.1 Billion Sold in 2008
- 10th Largest Regional Brand in America
Last week, we drove 2 hours from Valparaiso, IN to Indianapolis, IN to attend a 3 day class act event with world renouned speakers that gave us plenty of quality information to improve business, networking and referral opportunities and fun.
Even the choice of LOCATION for this event speaks loudly to the caliber of Company we affiliate with by actively supporting this facility -> The Gene B. Glick Junior Achievement Education Center.
By far, our Favorite Speaker at the event was TERRY WATSON

Other Speakers at the event included :

Barb Schwartz, ASP Home Staging Trainer,
plus,
the Famous and very Funny HENRY WINKLER
( yes, the Fonz from Happy Days! )...who now co-author's a series of children's story books with focus on underachievement / dyslexia.

Hi Jeff & Grace, looks like a nice learning opportunity and some fun at the same time!
Hi Jeff & Grace, sounds like you had loads of fun and learned a thing or "two" to boot.
I hope you had as much fun as Robin and I on Saturday. Best wishes, the Perry's
WOW bravo for all the sales. Have a great and successful week.
Very cool, I love these things. Our national convention starts this Saturday. I am like a sponge at training events trying to absorb everything. Best of Luck.
Hi Gary - It was fun and we learned alot that we plan to implement.
LOL Keith - yes saturday was a fun Valentine's (and so was the convention)!
Hello Lynn - thanks!
Hi Jeff- sponge is a good way of putting it! have a great time this weekend!
Sincerely to all.

Hello Grace, we were also there on Wednesday as a Home Links vendor. Wish you would have stopped by and introduced your self... Maybe next year.
Wow Gary - I didn' know that - during the Home Links awards, Jeff & I were asked to speak at the franchise owners meeting ( going on simultaneously) on the topic of reverse offers. After that we left to meet family for dinner at Daddy jacks ( Jeff is from Indy ) -wow that place is like CHEERS- he ran into several people he knew growing up LOL
next time for sure
Sincerely,
Grace
Hi Jeff & Grace - Looks and sounds like you had a great time in Indy. It is always a bonus when you have fun and learn .

Hi Sharon & Greg - yes it was both fun and informative! thanks for taking time to stop by and comment.
