From RISMedia President’s presentation met with great anticipation and enthusiasm RISMEDIA, November 16, 2006— For the second year in a row, Richard A. Weidel, president of Weidel Realtors, was featured as a guest speaker at the 11th Annual Luxury Real Estate Membership Conference hosted at the Four Seasons Hotel in Chicago.Over 450 luxury real estate brokers, sales associates and marketing executives converged on the Windy City to gain insight and perspective on the current state of the luxury real estate market. Weidel’s presentation topic, Training Agents and Improving Listing Presentations, was met with great anticipation and enthusiasm by some of the most formidable luxury brokers from around the country.This energetic and comprehensive session covered such topics as real estate marketing strategies, demonstrating value to sellers and incorporating key elements that impact a successful home sale by maximizing buyer exposure. In addition, Weidel unveiled the firm’s “Five Star Sellers Services Marketing Program,” which has generated exceptional success for Weidel Sellers.“In the past few years, we have seen 10 Buyers for 10 homes. In the present real estate market, it is more on the level of 4 to 6 Buyers for 10 homes,” commented Weidel. “However, we know it only takes one qualified Buyer, and at Weidel we exhaust every possible resource to find that buyer. That is why our firm has incorporated a seventh key element into our marketing strategy that impacts a successful sale.”The conference was hosted by John Brian Losh, chairman & CEO of Luxury Real Estate (LuxuryRealEstate.com and Who’s Who of Luxury Real Estate). The membership, including the highest end luxury brokers as well as those who constitute the Board of Regents, meet four times each year, nationally and internationally. Luxury Real Estate conferences are members-only events for affiliates of Luxury Real Estate and the Board of Regents, the guiding body of Luxury Real Estate. Attendees have the opportunity to network with the most powerful names in the luxury real estate industry while enjoying compelling content.“Weidel’s presentation at our conference in Chicago was well-received and very timely,” said Losh. “In this ever-changing real estate market, training and improved listing skills are more relevant than ever. Agents must be at the top of their game to succeed.”In addition to multiple networking functions, the conference included an awards presentation, a State-of-the-Market discussion, breakout sessions and the unveiling of a new Web site designed by the award-winning Luxury Real Estate Design Team.Due to the success of his two speaking engagements, Weidel has been asked to present again at next year’s conference as well.For more information about Weidel visit: www.Weidel.com.RISMedia welcomes your questions and comments.
