My conversation with Tom Everitt at NAR 2008

I spent last week at the 2008 NAR Convention and Expo in Orlando.  It was a rewarding experience, and a lot of fun, too.  One of the cool things that I got to do was meet Tom Everitt.  Tom is a REALTOR in Vancouver.  He sent me an email prior to the convention, sharing with me some of the cool video stuff he has been doing with his wife on his website, ThinkTom.com.  He asked if I would sit down for lunch with him at the convention.  I'm glad I did. 

Tom and I talked about all things real estate, and even a few things Canada (hockey, in particular).  We talked about video and the upcoming digital video summit at Inman Connect NYC '09.  Tom has been successfully using video for quite some time now.  After lunch, he asked if I wouldn't mind doing a quick interview.  I was happy to do it, and he sent me the link:

Tom is a great guy, and a dedicated real estate professional, making him a perfect fit in the Inman Community.  This got me to thinking, what do Stephen Jagger, Ian Watt, and Tom Everitt all have in common?  Not only are they using video, and not only are both Stephen and Ian going to be speaking at Connect NYC '09, but all three men are CANADIANS!  

I don't want to start an international incident here, but I think some friendly border competition is in order.  Our friends from up north have made it known that they are on the cutting edge of real estate technology and that they are going to be well represented at Connect NYC '09.  

What say you, pride of the Stars and Stripes?  When will we hear from the American contingent?

Share your videos, share your expereinces, and tell us why YOU are excited to be at Real Estate Connect NYC '09, among the top real estate professionals from around the world.  Make a video, and just email me the link:  daniel.rothamel@Inman.com  I always love when I have the opportunity to promote our members to the world.  

If you haven't registered yet for Connect NYC '09, now is a great time.  There is still time to save on the registration fee.  If you are a real estate blogger, there is even very special Blogger Pricing available.
