WHAT PAST ATTENDEES SAY ABOUT THE MAR CONVENTION

“I love meeting other agents from other parts of the state. The expo is always full of great give-aways. Mostly, I go for the learning (which I’ve learned a LOT) and the continuing ed. I went the first year I was in the business (here in Grand Rapids) and the following year in Mount Pleasant. Both times were great! I plan to attend this year as well – can’t beat Traverse City in the fall – it’s beautiful!!!
-Ed Vogt, Audu Real Estate
Comstock Park, MI

“I have attended maybe a half dozen MAR Conventions, and I do if for 2 reasons. 1 as a UPAR board member I feel it is my responsibility to attend and bring back information to my board. 2 as a MAR member I appreciate the ability to learn new things and network with REALTORS® throughout the state.”
-Stephanie Jones Manson, Select Realty
Marquette, MI

“Have attended about 10 MAR conventions. Usually find a session or 2 that gives me some fresh insights. The con ed credits are a bonus, too. Local Association and MLS Board as well as NAR involvement provided a need to hear perspectives on issues from others around the state making the convention a good place to discuss issues important to all areas.”
-Gene Szpeinski, Signature Associates
Grand Rapids, MI

“I have attended 2 MAR conventions and I’m planning on going this year. I like the opportunity to learn and network with my fellow REALTORS®. I find it motivating”
-Mary Ann Roney, Century 21 Hartford
Farmington Hills, MI

"This will be my 15th Trip to MAR's Convention and Expo. The good ideas I get are fantastic, but the GREAT Connections I make are priceless. Real estate is changing every day, and I could not effectively run my company or be a trusted REALTOR® to my clients without the information and relationships created at this "must attend" event! Thanks for the years of ideas and connections!"
-John McArdle, Remerica Hometown One
Plymouth, MI

“The primary reason I attend MAR Convention in the fall is to attend WCR State Meetings and to fulfill continuing education requirements. I also love taking advantage of any and all opportunities for informal discussion with colleagues. Networking is key to a successful business and you sure get it there! Aside from continuing ed, legal updates and social networking, there's the EXPO! At MAR EXPO you can get hands-on, compare all the products at once back-to-back, get your questions answered, and 'try before you buy'! I'll be sure to attend this October!”
-Robyn Walker, Coldwell Banker Pete Stanley & Associates
Au Gres, MI
