Agents on the Move: Expanding Knowledge & Networks
Insights from the Inman Conference
Chloe Powell kicked off the year at the Inman Conference in NYC, diving into real estate trends, networking, and even squeezing in some Broadway magic. โThe best part? Singing my heart out at the Serhant after-party and a two-hour coaching session with Daniel Daggers,โ she shared. Chloe’s short review on the Inman conference: “Inman focused on AI, clear cooperation, team building, and transparency. I heard from speakers like the NAR CEO, Mauricio Umansky, Ryan Serhant, Daniel Daggers, and the secretary general of HUD. It was a great learning experience to learn from others and experience NYC.”
Building Connections at Serhant Pro
Sandra Reardon also spent time in New York, deepening her industry ties through the Serhant Pro Members community. โItโs an incredible space for learning and global referrals,โ she said, emphasizing the power of surrounding yourself with like-minded professionals.
