What a fabulous day I had yesterday!

I attended the AREAA convention in San Francisco Ca held at the beautiful Palace Hotel and was swept away by the energy and enthusiasm of this Association.

AREAA is the Asian Real Estate of America ( I belong to the Greater Sacramento Chapter)  Asian's from all over California, the County and the World attended.  Full Asians, half Asians (like myself) and others who just want to be around Asians!  You don't have to be Asian to join and be a part of this Association.  The focus of AREAA is to educated Realtors, Lenders and Affiliates to service this up and coming population of buyers and sellers with culture and custom awareness.

I attended 2 seminars and learned a few new things I believe will help my Asian community and will help the agents in my office to assist this sector of the real estate market in our San Joaquin County.

The seminars were followed by an international market briefing and a wonderful cocktail party featuring food from the Countries of Japan, Thailand, and China (YUMMY).  I met agents from Taiwan, China, and Japan as well as Louisiana, Georgia, Arizona, DC and of course agents from every corner of California.  I think my grandmother would have been proud to see how much of the community has become female too!

I took our wonderful public transportation system to the event.  I drove from Stockton to Dublin-Pleasanton Bart Station (40 minute drive) to the Montgomery Station in San Francisco and came out of the tunnel right in front of the Palace Hotel.  The weather was perfect at a sunny 80 degrees and the event was a smash!

Because of technology I didn't miss a minute of work and my clients were well served by my attendance.  I did get one email yesterday that I did not open because there was a comment on the video from an agent stating

"Great, thanks for making me cry like a baby this morning!!   Beautiful!"

I waiting until this morning to open that video.  It was so moving and really put my mind in the right place to come back to Stockton (foreclosure Capitol of the World) and work hard for my clients with the right mind set.  I have pasted the link to the video below for your viewing.  All I can say is:  BE READY TO BE MOVED!
