Our fearless leader and namesake Ralph, is in New York City this week for the 19th Annual RISMedia Leadership Conference, where he’ll be joined by dozens of other real estate industry professionals as they explore the best practices in building and maintaining a high functioning real estate agent team. This year’s event, which takes place at The Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan, promises to be another memorable RISMedia-coordinated event, and those of us here at Ralph Roberts Realty couldn’t be happier about Ralph attending and speaking at this year’s event.

There’s been so much talk as of late about real estate agent teams. Are they good for the real estate industry? Are they bad for the broker? Regardless of the answer, real estate agent teams are popping up all across this great nation of ours, and Ralph, who recently took on the lead authorship role for the new book “Power Teams: The Complete Guide to Building and Managing a Winning Real Estate Agent Teams” (co-authored by John Featherston, Founder/CEO & Publisher of RISMedia) will be attending this year’s Conference to talk about the unique ways real estate agent teams like ours work with buyers and sellers, vendors, members of the media, and more.

Ralph’s session–a panel discussion he’ll be facilitating titled The ABCs of Forming a Winning Agent Team–will inform Leadership Conference attendees about the basic steps toward forming their own agent teams. Joining him, as Panelists, are a number of successful Realtors from around the United States who already know the in’s and out’s of running a successful real estate agent team, including:

• John Bendall, Team Leader, The Bendall Group
• Bryan Felder, Realtor, The Virginia Realty Group
• Faye Rispoli, Broker Associate, RE/MAX Premier
• Howard Witz, Associate Broker, Fillmore Real Estate

Why are we telling you about all of this? It’s simple, really: Recognizing that you have many choices when it comes to representation and expertise when buying or selling a home, we here at Ralph Roberts Realty want to stress the importance of working with a real estate agent team that not only knows the local area but also understands how national trends and cutting edge business practices can and will save you time and money. Ralph’s participation in real estate industry events like RISMedia’s Annual Leadership Conference allow our entire team to gain an understanding of how other successful real estate agent teams best serve their clients, which at the end of the day directly benefits you–our client!
