In the leadup to the #REBCPerth the organising team made a conscious decision about the values we wanted to articulate and that would guide our decisions.
#REBCPerth is on again. The themes we want to explore this year are generosity, openness, curiosity, and trust.eventbrite.com.au/event/22213902….

Social Media
Of course there were the usual social media conversations with plenty of penny-drop moments.
#rebcperth another good chat about #socialmedia in this room. #realestate twitter.com/batkinson1/sta…
— Bill Atkinson (@batkinson1) October 19, 2012
#rebcperth saying twitter does not get you sales is a but Iike saying the computer or phone does not give you sales. It’s just a tool.

Keep the personability and integrity in your client relationships – bomb generic marketing can be spam city #database #REBCPerth
