This past weekend, Alexa, Vicki and I enjoyed the Real Estate One Convention! This convention was held at MotorCity Casino Hotel in Downtown Detroit.
The theme was the 1920’s!! Which all three of us had fun with by dressing up like that era for the final ceremony.
At this convention, there were awesome learning sessions as well as wonderful keynote speakers.
These speakers were

He has had a huge impact on the developments happening in our very own Corktown Detroit
Speaker, Author, and Coach Jared James. He is one of the most effective coaching companies around, helping thousands of students learn how to create more predictable real estate businesses.
