The Butterfly House is something else.  It certainly catches the eye when driving. Online photos of the interior show the breathtaking ocean views! 

The only crazy I am dealing with in my market is the recruiting calls.

Organizers of these events and others push the agents to compete for a piece of this potential market.  I never buy into the pressure to get into this add buying frenzy.

However I do wish you all the best and hope that everyone gets a good return on their investment.

I thought about exactly this today while in Costco.  A young gal had 2 carts packed over the top with candy.  I asked her if she was hosting a kids event.  She said, No I work for a real estate agent and he hands out candy at event.  I thought later - what event is going on this time of the year?  I don't know because it's a tad hot and it's monsoon season.  Clearly something we would do = all kinds of crazy stuff over the years!

 

Enjoy the event - it sounds like a blast to me!

When the refi market dries up, my phone blows up with lenders.
But, other than that, no I do not notice this phenomenon.

We last visited the Butterfly House on New Year's Day 2019 - we spent Christmas Day - Jan 2 there that Season. Beautiful!
We used to spend one Sunday per month in Monterey and Carmel-By-The-Sea when we lived in San Mateo. We were engaged their in 2002 and I used to DJ many weddings there when I owned Nelson Entertainment.

No, I do not solicit to the huge crowds that arrive here in southern Utah for special events like the St. George Marathon, Ironman World & yearly Ironman competition, Huntsman World Senior Games and etc. My clients and referral companies know where I am.

I do volunteer, however!

Real estate advertising seems to be a constant here in good times and bad. We we inundated with mailers during the pandemic from top-producers looking to expand their influence, som in partnership with loan officers.

Neat event to attend in your area. This country is car crazy and lots to see if you can swing the lodging. 40M houses means no one's leaving the light on for you at budget priced places like Motel 6 Hella M. Rothwell, Broker/Realtor® . Blog about this local event and get your exposure organically while promoting your area.

Part of me would want to stay and see what cars are available, and who is in town.   The other part of me wouldn't want to be near that many people.

No, we don't get that since we're not a big 2nd home area. We do have a lot of people buying investments here.
