For the next several weeks we’ll be taking a break from our regular interviews to air the I Survived Real Estate 2008 event over the radio. The event took place August 23, 2008 at the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda California. The event proceeds went to benefit the Orange County Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Over 400 attended the live event, many more online via Proxibid who aired the entire event nationwide online over the Internet, and many more will watch the videos online.
This event was about solutions for our ailing real estate industry and to help an important cause. Eight industry experts from different real estate sectors converged to discuss how we got here, where we’re going, and how we move forward together and prosper in the coming years. This is a rare opportunity to hear how leadership from the Realtors, builders, investors, mortgage industry, auctioneers and service providers each would approach and solve issues in the current real estate market.
If you’ve been listening to the past 8 shows on the radio, you’ve been introduced to the panelists one by one. The event officially kicked off on June 21st with the first interview prepping the audience for the live event. Video of the live event is also available at thenorrisgroup.com under free resources.
This first radio segment starts of the show with Aaron Norris introducing the event, introducing the amazing Platinum Sponsors, introducing the speaker from the Orange County Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the introduction of Bruce Norris, Bruce talking about the importance of this event, the introduction of Christopher Thornberg, Christopher’s presentation on the current state of the real estate downturn and what we should expect in the coming year.
