@Stacey: My impressions on the conference as a whole were pretty much the same. The people in the room were realistic, sober, and dedicated to doing what they do better.

@Jonathan
The bar is too low, has been for a long time.

Either way, it's pretty pathetic that we have to even bring up the idea of trying to get Realtors to achieve competence…but we do.

Here's my take: If you are a Realtor looking to achieve competence in 2009, maybe it's time to look for another career.

Although I got my conference value out of the networking that I did there, I was not privy to the broker tract and am struggling to find any great themes from the rest of the conference, other than the gloomy reality that was more than adequately covered. I'm interested to hear your reflections from outside the invite-only crowd.</p> Any insights from outside the "invite-only" broker tract at the conference?
