As Realtors, we all know that success in this business comes down to two things: relationships and knowledge. That’s exactly why I’m encouraging you to join me at IMPACT: The Member Experience on Monday, September 29, at the Sonesta Hotel in White Plains.
I still remember my first HGAR Member Day years ago. I walked in not knowing what to expect and walked out with not only fresh insights into our market but also new colleagues who later became friends, mentors, and even referral partners. Those connections directly impacted my business, and I know they can do the same for you.
This year, HGAR has taken things to the next level. IMPACT isn’t just another conference; it’s a day built to energize and elevate today’s real estate professionals. You’ll have the chance to meet other members from across our regions, all coming together to share ideas, build relationships, and create new opportunities for referral business. It’s also an opportunity to hear from speakers about our own industry—we should never stop learning and growing.
For the first time ever, HGAR members will have direct access to NAR’s C-suite leadership team, including CEO Nykia Wright, SVP Industry Relations Jarrod Grasso and Chief Economist Lawrence Yun. These are the decision-makers who shape our industry at the national level, and they’ll be here in White Plains to answer questions and share insights with us. This is a rare opportunity to hear firsthand about the future of real estate and how it affects your business and to share your opinions and ask your own questions.
In addition, the lineup of speakers and sessions will cover everything from cutting-edge technology and AI to commercial retail and global real estate trends, to practical tips you can use immediately in your day-to-day business.
Another highlight I encourage you to sign up for is the RPAC Lunch. Our profession is constantly influenced by laws and policies, from property taxes to fair housing to landlord-tenant regulations. RPAC is how Realtors have a seat at the table. By attending this lunch, you’ll not only support the advocacy work that protects our industry, but you’ll also hear from leaders who are shaping real estate policy right now. Advocacy matters, and your participation matters – you’ll see how easy it is for you to make a difference.
IMPACT is more than professional development; it’s about belonging to something bigger. It’s about celebrating our Realtor community, learning together, and walking away inspired to grow our businesses and better serve our clients. We all need something positive to look forward to. This is it.
I hope you’ll take advantage of this unique day. Come for the networking, come for the knowledge, and come for the inspiration, but most importantly, come for yourself.
Make sure you reserve your spot now. Registration is open at IMPACT: The Member Experience. Space is limited, and you don’t want to miss the chance to be part of this career-defining event.
I look forward to seeing you there!
