Big Mistakes, Bigger Benefits: Brokers Share what Not to Do

Reading Time: 3 mins read

While we often hear about the greatest successes of top brokers, we rarely hear about their worst decisions…and the invaluable business lessons they learned as a result.

At RISMedia’s Real Estate CEO Exchange next month, a panel of leading Power Brokers will disclose some of the biggest mistakes they have made in their careers during the session, “Turning Don’ts into Do’s: How Brokers Can Benefit from their Biggest Mistakes.” This colorful and insightful presentation will take place on the opening day of the event, Tuesday, Sept. 9, at 4:00 p.m. in the Grand Ballroom of New York City’s Yale Club.

Moderated by Helen Hanna Casey, president of Howard Hanna Real Estate, Power Brokers from key regions of the country will not only share critical mistakes they have made in operating and growing their real estate firms, but more importantly, how these mistakes proved invaluable. Casey will lead the following real estate leaders in the discussion:

  • David Romero, President & CEO, CENTURY 21 Award
  • Mark Stark, CEO, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Arizona and Nevada Properties
  • John Heithaus, Chief Industry Relations Officer, BuyerMLS

RISMedia’s Real Estate CEO Exchange is a day-and-a-half-long event taking place on September 9 and 10 at New York City’s prestigious Yale Club in midtown Manhattan. The overall theme of this year’s event is “Raising Your Value Proposition: Key Strategies for Operating in Today’s Economy.”

The now sold-out event is designed exclusively for leading broker/owners and their respective leadership team members. For information regarding attendance, please contact Randi Vannucchi at randiv@rismedia.com or by calling (203) 855-1234 ext. 154. To see this year’s full agenda, click here.
