Grabbing the opportunity to discuss heavy-hitting subject matter and share strategic business development ideas for the future of the real estate industry, top brokers and real estate executives from across the nation have quickly signed on to attend RISMedia?s Real Estate CEO Exchange, a groundbreaking think tank of industry luminaries.
To see some of the leaders speaking at the CEO Exchange, click here.
Taking place this September 5 & 6 at the prestigious Yale Club in New York City, the CEO Exchange will welcome more than 100 of the most powerful and successful real estate brokerage leaders who hail from franchise brands and independent real estate firms located across the nation.* These leaders will come together for this day-and-a-half-long event to exchange ideas and strategies to better meet the needs of today?s sophisticated consumer. At press time, these executives collectively employ 75,000-plus sales associates and are responsible for more than 400,000 transactions in 2011, representing approximately $175 billion in closed business.
According to RISMedia President & CEO, John Featherston, ?Many of the industry?s leading brokers who are coming to the CEO Exchange are coming to discuss what is?and equally as important?what isn?t working within their firms and markets. This is not a technology convention, disguised as a real estate event. This is a high-level? real estate meeting for leading brokers interested in profitably building their business, today and into the future. Our industry and its brokerage owners are confronted with many pressing issues, from the impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act to the possibility of fee capping to new competitive business models. We have assembled some of the best real estate operators in the business to address the critical challenges facing today?s brokers.?
Designed specifically for a select group of broker/owners, brand executives and real estate leaders, the CEO Exchange is by exclusive invite only. Titled ?Making 2013 Your Break-Out Year ? Taking Back the Real Estate Industry,? the CEO Exchange will cover a variety of heavy-hitting topics geared toward profitably operating a real estate firm as the industry moves toward widespread recovery.
?Thanks to the involvement of several industry icons, such as HomeServices of America Chairman & CEO Ron Peltier, the CEO Exchange will host a great cross section of leading brokers interested in openly discussing how they successfully operate and tackle problems within their respective markets,? Featherston explains. ?This event provides brokers with the opportunity to get to know their counterparts from around the country. The brokers who are attending have told us they want to make their companies and their agents more successful. What better way to learn than from a diverse group of successful?colleagues??
In addition to top brokers, leading MLS and Association executives, along with?several influential service executives, will also participate in the CEO Exchange. Please see the following agenda for a complete outline of session topics and speakers.
*At press time, a few spots still remain open for qualified brokers interested in attending the Real Estate CEO Exchange. Please contact Randi Vannucchi, randiv@rismedia.com, for further information.

The Path Forward: The Consumer and Organized Real Estate
As real estate continues to recover, there is one essential question we must ask ourselves: How much does the consumer really need us? With the increasing popularity of web-based listing portals and virtual brokerage models, along with widespread access to information, what role will organized real estate play in the future of home buying and selling? No business sector sustains itself without remaining relevant to consumers, therefore, industry leaders in this session will discuss what it will take for the traditional brokerage model to remain a central part of the real estate transaction into the future.
