If you’ve never been to an REBarCamp before, we’ll answer some of your questions here. If it’s been awhile since you’ve been to a BarCamp (and let’s face it, it’s been awhile for all of us), then this may be a good refresher.
- REBarCamp, or Real Estate Bar Camp, began when a few real estate agents got together in a bar (shocking) to discuss how to build/improve/enhance their business
- Over time, the idea caught on, and REBarCamp events are now held throughout the U.S. and abroad
- The goal of every REBarCamp is to create a collaborative, welcoming environment where people are encouraged to share their thoughts, concerns, best practices, tips and knowledge to help everyone be better agents
- It’s called an “Un-Conference” for a reason…there are no (or very few) formal presentations and speeches…instead, it’s a place where everyone can contribute, ask questions and share their knowledge
What Else Do I Need to Know?
- First, it’s pronounced R – E – Bar Camp, not “rebar camp”
- There’s no selling, no recruiting, no competing and no pressure
- You suggest the topics to be discussed, and you’re encouraged to ask questions and share your own insights
- Follow the Rule of Two Feet – Not getting what you need out of a session? Get up on your feet and walk out and head to another session…it’s an informal format designed to ensure you get the most of attending
