Packing Our Bags

Heading for the 2009 National REIA Marketing & Technology Conference
Don’t worry. We’re still monitoring foreclosures and the housing market, in general. The fact that the U.S. set a record high of 7.58 percent for the mortgage delinquency rate last month did not go unnoticed.

What the reader may or may not know, however, is that this is the week of the National REIA Marketing & Technology Conference. It begins this Thursday in Virginia Beach, and Uvestor will be there keeping everyone abreast of conference happenings through a fully functional and interactive mobile web presence.

The conference will help educate real estate investors about marketing in the age of blogs and tweets. The internet can be overwhelming to those who did not grow up with it, and busy investors do not have extra time to muddle through the waters by themselves. The experts speaking at this conference will help attendees understand what the internet potentially can do for their businesses and predict what tomorrow’s next generation of apps will be.

Uvestor Opportunity:
First, this may seem obvious, but one opportunity everyone still has is to attend the conference. Meeting and greeting is a great way to market and learn what is working for other real estate investors. You can never have too many tricks in your bag.

Next (shameless plug alert!), this will be the first chance users will have to test out a new Uvestor communications platform. The new Uvestor Productivity Suite will help facilitate the communication, document sharing, photo sharing and information sharing involved with appraising, selling, closing and leasing processes.

Finally, it’s an opportunity to have fun. C’mon, it’s Virginia Beach.
