RETT Coming to Phoenix Association of REALTORS®
This year’s annual AAR Winter Conference in Prescott was a great place to network with people and to learn a lot of really great industry-related information.
One of the many cool announcements to come from the conference was the fact that our friends at the Phoenix Association of REALTORS® (PAR) will be making space available for RETT.
What the heck is RETT? The term is Real Estate Tech Tank, and it was recently thought up by a handful of real estate “geeks.” Here’s one of the first articles written about RETT: “#RETT Opens its Doors to Anyone & Everyone.” A tech tank is a place where people can come together in a “co-working” environment where people are free to come and go as they please. The idea has taken off here in the Valley and has started to gain steam in other parts of the country, as well.
Of course, when you have something new and unconventional, people often wonder if it will work. If you fall into that camp, see this blog post by mortgage commentator Justin McHood: #RETT: 10 Reasons RETT Works. Or WILL Work.
In the video below, I talk with PAR CEO Diane Scherer and PAR President Kerry Melcher about bringing RETT to central Phoenix. They have graciously offered up space at the PAR office in conference room 121. PAR is located at 5033 N. 19th Ave, right by the Camelback & 19th Avenue light rail station. Beginning Monday, March 15, 2010 at 10:00am, RETT adds another collaboration location!
