I had the extreme pleasure of being invited to the Virginia Association of Realtors Convention in Baltimore, MD over the weekend. Yes, Virginia Realtors met in Maryland. No, I do not live in Virginia nor am I still an active Realtor. STILL. I drove a little over six hours to meet a bunch of completely fabulous people and it was WORTH it!
The Virginia agents invited many of us from outside their association and welcomed us with open arms. I got to sit in on a blogger session and visit the trade fair and learned about some pretty neat new ways for a real estate agent to be found and market their listings. The agents in Virginia have a special knack for using technology to their advantage, and they don’t mind sharing what they learn. I have some thinking to do!
But of course the best part of any convention is the PEOPLE. I want to thank the wonderful people of VAR08 for inviting me and helping me feel so at home — you guys ROCK!! Here’s a little peek at my time at VAR08 in (what else?) the form of a Real Estate Show.

And you’re welcome back year after year! Thanks for coming
Sarah,
It was great meeting you, and I am flattered by your caption.
No matter what anyone else ever tells you, Virginia is the center of the Real Estate Blogiverse.
On another note, am I detecting a higher resolution on this show? Has something changed?
Thanks for coming! Please come back and visit any time.
Jeremy & Danilo – Thank you! I might just take you up on that!
Daniel – I completely meant that caption and I think I can agree with your assessment of the center of the RE Blogiverse. And you are perceptive, that IS a higer resolution! I converted the Show to video, which is fairly new. Once it’s video you can take it anywhere that hosts video, and since I’m a big Flickr user anyway, I like to take mine there. Flickr will give you choices in sizes, this one is smaller. Here’s a link to more of my RES in Flickr, click any of them to view in the larger size: http://flickr.com/photos/wvagent/sets/72157605735862676/detail/
Sarah,
Ahhhh. I get it. I never noticed that flickr doesn’t brand their embedded player. Cool.
Sarah, so glad you came! The photos and tweets keep rolling in, and we’ve got videos to share too! You can catch them at http://varconvention.com as they come in.
