Seattle REBarCamp on Facebook

Seattle’s RE Barcamp has two separate pages/profile on Facebook that you might want to know about…actually three (one is defunct so I won’t give you that link).   The Facebook Fan Page for REBCSea, anyone can join to communicate and keep up to date with what’s going on for the big event.   The other is Facebook group created just for those who are volunteers and helping with the planning aspect–currently this page in for members only–anyone who wants to volunteer is welcome!

The current date for RE BarCamp Seattle is looking like March 19, 2010, following the Pacific Northwest Housing Summit which will take place on March 18.  We look forward to sharing more information with you soon!

RE BarCamp Seattle 2010

Earlier today, I met with some local amazing folks from all fields in the real estate industry to share lunch and to start planning Seattle’s RE BarCamp for 2010.   We are in the early phases and we welcome all who wish to volunteer their time or dollars to contribute towards this grand unconference.   REBC is successful due to the participation of all.

Here’s what I can share with you right now… Seattle RE BarCamp is being planned for mid-March.   This event will be take place the day before the Pacific Northwest Real Estate Summit (a regional event being planned by WAMP and WAR).     We’re looking at REBC most likely taking place on March 15 or March 18.   Part of the issue is ironing out the details with the venue for both events.   As soon as we have more information, we will post it here.    

Keep in mind that REBC is not only about social media, it’s about what ever the participants/attendees wish to discuss.   The agenda is decided the morning of the event from those who show up!  If you want to learn about tips on negotiating a short sale–suggest the topic the day of the event.   This is peer to peer sharing and learning.

We will have this website being modified for the 2010 event soon.  (Please disregard the 2009 info for now…)

Our Twitter hashtag is #rebcsea.    Please spread the word!   We’d love you to save the dates (mid-March), tell all your RE friends…maybe volunteer and/or be a sponsor.

I’m very excited for both events and look forward to sharing more information soon!    And again–we welcome your participation!

Nearing the finish line for REBCSEA 2009 plus five heads are better than one

Well, it’s nearly almost the end of Real Estate Barcamp, aka #REBCSEA, (it’s about 4 pm as I write this almost “live” blog and we’re hoping everyone got something out of it  and that you were able see/hear what you came for.

If anyone has any notes or “nuggets” or anything you’d like to share, please comment and share, perhaps a link to a blog post or you can Twitter it (just mention it and hashtag it #rebcsea so that other’s can find the info) and include a link to your notes.

An example for a blog post? Yes, the “notes” you took at REBarcamp can serve as content, in fact, we {I say we, but editorially that would be me! } would invite to share as much as what you learned today.  Please feel free to quote and give attribution to those you picked up any great tips, nuggets or info that helped you today; and it most definitely DOESN’T HAVE TO BE any of the presenters. It can be from any of the other attendees; personally, I picked up some GREAT info and learned a lot from other attendees and NOT the presenters.  That doesn’t mean the presenters didn’t have good content, just means the others of you had plenty of valuable information as well.

An example of something I LEARNED was something from Nick Bostic @nbostic regarding the communication preferences of Generation X & Y.  One thing he brought up was, sometimes it’s easiest just to ask “what’s your preferred method of communication?” This applies to ALL generations and you can determine from their answer whether the person prefers a text message, a call or no voice mails.  

In closing, thank you to all of our sponsors and thank you to all of you that took the time today to take part in this unconventional, “unconference” conference.  You, the participants are what make up the essence of REBarcamp and your conversations, connections, comments and contributions are the most important element of this whole event.

Enough to read. Here’s a really short video snippet I shot quickly at the event and edited, sorry no music underscore (vLog).  Hope you enjoy! Ed Bisquera, @edbisquera on Twitter – Social Media Ambassador

And here’s a great video featuring some of the volunteers and few guys from Zillow.com. Hope you enjoy the humor of a JibJab video. (If you find it “offensive or risque” just know that only the heads are real. The bodies in the video are actual trained models…See you at REBarcamp 2010!

Seattle RE Barcamp Parking – A Primer

We want to encourage people to think about their parking before they arrive. The last thing we need is 500 to 600 real estate agents driving around in circles during morning rush hour adding to the Mercer Mess.

Here is a Google Map I have put together to help ease the frustration of finding decent parking options nearby the Armory:

Do you have enough flair? And, a word for our sponsors…

Hi, Ed Bisquera here. I’m one of the volunteers and a new voice here for the REBarcamp Seattle blog.  I really look forward to meeting many of you and am excited to be a part of this great event.

I’m inviting you to please be sure to take a look at our wonderful sponsors.  Zillow.com has been a great support and the rest of the volunteers (they are listed on the sidebar) have done a great job in getting this together as well.  I claim no credit here, as I’m coming to the REBarcamp just this week, to help out where I can and I know if you’re reading this, you can appreciate all the fine work as I do, by our volunteers and sponsors. So be sure to check them out on the sidebar, peruse their sites and please also read about Solid Ground under the Donate to Housing for Homeless Banner.

I was asked to write a guest blog post regarding my videos on my own blog and my “reasons why to attend Barcamp” posts I put on my blog recently. So for today’s blog post, I wanted to share another video, Reason #3 Why You Should Be at REBarcamp Seattle 2009.

Visit below and enjoy the post. Also, one word…flair. The dress for the event is casual, but you’ll see that I cover that in the video. Please feel free to check out Reason #2 and Reason #1 to attend REBarcamp Seattle as well. Enjoy!
