Professionals enhance network connections

Ocean Atlantic Sotheby's International Realty, a luxury real estate firm based in Rehoboth Beach, recently participated in the 2010 Sotheby's International Realty Global Networking Event.

The three-day event provided a unique opportunity for all sales associates, managers and owners who are members of the Sotheby's International Realty network to connect, exchange ideas and forge relationships designed to help build their businesses and drive new leads to their listings.

"The annual Global Networking Event provides a unique value to our firm and agents," said Justin Healy, an Ocean Atlantic Sotheby's broker. "It allows our firm to share ideas and best practices with our fellow brand professionals from all over the world. We also had the opportunity to learn more about the real estate business worldwide through informative breakout sessions on a variety of topics."

Brian and Jenn Barrows, one of the top teams at Ocean Atlantic Sotheby's in Rehoboth, also attended. "The Sotheby's network has provided us with many contacts and tools we have been able to utilize to help our clients find the perfect home," said Jenn Barrows. "It's an extremely progressive real estate firm in terms of innovative, cutting-edge marketing applications, and the conference seminars on branding, e-marketing campaigns and social media were invaluable."

The event was held in mid-April, at the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego in San Diego, Calif. Keynote speakers were Benjamin Zander, conductor of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra, and Matthew Ferrara of the real estate consulting firm Matthew Ferrara & Co. Guest speaker and three-time Olympic medalist Julia Mancuso spoke about her Olympic experiences and work ethic.

Ocean Atlantic Sotheby's International Realty offers exclusive Sotheby's International Realty marketing, advertising and referral services to help clients find distinctive properties to match their lifestyle, regardless of budget.

The firm is also associated with the Sotheby's auction house, which promotes real estate referral opportunities with auction house clientele.

As a Sotheby's International Realty affiliate, the firm also has the unique ability to refer its real estate clientele to the auction house for jewelry, art, unique furniture and collectible appraisal services. Property listings from Ocean Atlantic Sotheby's International Realty also are marketed on the Sothebysrealty.com global website, as well as on the firm's local website oasothe-bysrealty.com.

"The Global Networking Event enables Sotheby's International Realty affiliates from around the world to join together to share their collective insights and experiences, highlighting the true strength of the Sotheby's International Realty network," said Michael R Good, chief executive officer of Sotheby's International Really Affiliates LLC. "Every individual attending this conference is committed to working together to help us grow our network and we appreciate their ongoing dedication and enthusiasm."
