The Network A few weeks ago I went to a Sotheby’s international Realty networking event called the Ski NE. One of our brokers in charge and I were supposed to go to a different event out west back in the fall, but a goose hitting the plane pretty much derailed that whole trip. So we were going on the next one that would work for our schedules, which to both of our liking was out in Big Sky Montana, a skiing and networking event. We wanted to make sure that we didn't end up with something like the previous trip affecting this one, so we safely book ended travel days on it, and to include an additional ski day for us. After day one of skiing, we met up with our Sotheby’s group that evening and enjoyed a happy hour and mixer. From the beginning of that happy hour to the end of the event, I met about 150 different Sotheby’s International Realty agents in markets other than the upstate of SC. From Telluride, Lake Tahoe, Scottsdale, all the way up the California coast and around Seattle, Montana, Boston, and down in Orlando with smatterings in between. They were of course valuable takeaways from different panels, and different conversations with individual agents over the days there, but it was interesting and reassuring to see how high the standard for Sotheby's International Realty is everywhere. The small world experience of it is I was sitting next to an agent I had been emailing with in Boston, regarding an upcoming listing, and here we were sitting next to each other at Sushi restaurant at the town center in Big Sky, Montana!  I also spoke about the Upstate of South Carolina market to that group, who some had no idea about what all Greenville in the surrounding areas have to offer. If you could live and work anywhere, why not here!? Great experience, great people, amazing network!
