2009 Realtor MasterMind & Cultural Summit – Austin, Texas!
May 4, 2009 by Jim Walberg · 1 Comment
Keller Williams Realty just finished gathering together their top Realtors in Austin, Texas to share their best ideas. And, once a year their honor 60 Realtors for Service Above Self to their community. Jim Walberg was at both of these remarkable events.
Each quarter Keller Williams Realty invites the top Realtors from their North American offices to Austin, Texas for serveral days of sharing their best ideas for growing a real estate practice – MasterMind. And, once a year they have their Cultural Summit, which is a celebration of honoring two Realtors from each of their 30 North American regions for their extraordinary contribution to community service.
After the Who’s Who In Luxury Real Estate Spring Conference in Las Vegas, I traveled 
to Austin, Texas for both of these events. The MasterMind breakout session in which I participated focused on my experience with blogging as a lead generation tool for growing our real estate business in the East Bay. The key to using social networking and internet tools to connect with our community and customers is based on using cutting edge strategies. This was a day of sharing the strategies that each of use are using that create results.
The next day was Keller Williams Realty’s Cultural Summit. It is their annual event honoring 60 Realtors from across the country that are quietly creating extraordinary results within their own Market Centers and in their communities. Mo Anderson – Vice Chairman of the Board for Keller Williams, and Kay Evans one of the key Regional Directors for the company, were the facilitators of this inspiring day. And Kellie Ramsay – Executive Assistant to the Vice Chairman, was the producer 
of the event. I was humbled to be chosen for the second time as one of those reciptents. Our real estate team is committed to Service Above Self in all aspects of our daily lives very involved in giving back to our communities.
Keller Williams Realty has designated May 14th as their North American community service day. All of our local communities across the country have been invited to participate in thousands of projects that each Market Center creates. Our Danville office is organizing two projects for that day – the Red Cross Blood Bank, and the local Food Banks. Both of these organizations are EXTREMELY LOW on supplies – both for blood and for food. We have contracted the Red Cross to have a “blood mobile” at our office, and we also have 30+ collection binds from the Food Bank that we expect to fill that day from people stopping by to help.
One of the value statements we use with our community is, “To whom much is given, much is required.” We are so blessed with how our community supports our real estate services, and giving back to the needs of our community is a critical part of the mission statement for our company. We actually look at it as a personal obligation. If we are still breathing our service to others is still incomplete.
Given the challenging times for so many families, as we come to the end of this financial melt down, it is critical for all of us to be the leaders in our community by addressing the specific needs that are around us. I have discovered that the community of Realtors across the country is one of the most giving professional group I have ever seen. All of us need to keep letting our lights shine within our communities. Please email TODAY if you would like to schedule time to give blood at our office on May 14th, and/or drop by some non-perishable food. Thank you in advance for your support of this day of support to the critical needs of our community. Until next time…
