In order to qualify for June's class you will need to RSVP.

If you have attended a AZREBN meeting then you know that we have a monthly drawing for the 'barrel of monkey's' challenge. Don't forget to give out your monkey's on the back of your business cards or be sure to bring your scotch tape with you on Friday, June 20th if you have invited guests so that you will be included in the Diamondbacks gift basket drawing! **NOTE: Only those that have cards in the basket with monkeys' qualify.  You must have attended a previous meeting! New members will get your barrel at meeting!

For those of you new to AZ Real Estate Blogging Network, we are a network of real estate professionals that gather once a month and we share ideas, thoughts and learn from the AZREBN Team on how to build our business with blogging! If you would like to see previous meetings you can find videos, slideshows and information here and here. Video below is from May's meeting!

Is this where I write "first"?  Or is that poor commenting etiquette?  Hmmm....commenting topic for AZREBN...that might be a good topic for a later session.

I'm going to pretend that I'm not offended that my teaching prowess has not been sought since the first meeting.  I promised I wouldn't do the "human torch" trick again, but still no phone call.  Sigh.

... you're not buying it, are you?

Looking forward to this month's hookup.  See everyone there!

Posted by Paul Slaybaugh, Scottsdale AZ Real Estate (Realty Executives) almost 4 years ago

I wish you were closer I would be there for sure . Take notes and I'll look for the message here.

Posted by Terry+Bonnie Westbrook Westbrook Realty Grand Rapids Forest Hills MI Real Estate (Westbrook Realty Broker-Owner) almost 4 years ago

Paul - That human torch trick must have taken you out of the scene, because we haven't seen you around the twitter or AR scene!! Missed you at the REShows gathering around the corner from your house!! I will keep my eye out for you on Friday. Your space is being held for teacher duty anytime!!

Posted by Gilbert Arizona Real Estate - REALTOR® Candace Robinson Broker Associate (HomeSmart ) almost 4 years ago

Terry - Well if you ever get to the Valley of the Sun, be sure to let us know, we will through a special party in your honor! Keep an eye out for the after-gathering videos!

I'm gonna keep on repeating the same thing everytime you have a blogging/networking meeting- I'm so jealous, I wish I could go!!

Posted by Lisa Ryan~Selling Princeton,West Windsor and Montgomery Township New Jersey (Henderson Sotheby's International Realty) almost 4 years ago

Candace, I've been excited to follow the growth of your AZREB from a distance.  Seems like things are going great -- the group is growing and sounds like you've got some great plans for this next meeting.

Posted by Brian Block -- Northern Virginia & D.C. Real Estate (RE/MAX Allegiance, Managing Broker/Branch Vice President) almost 4 years ago

Dang!  I have clients in town.  I'll watch for next months line-up.  Do you do similar topics each month?  Because there are three I'd like to know more about.

You are the queen Candace.  Good luck and I hope you reap more and more valuable tips.

Brian - Great group, great bloggers, great instructors and such willingness from everyone to step up and help...What more could you want? Well, OK, your presence!! Perhaps one day you can stop in the desert and share some thoughts on blogging and not getting sued, keeping our nose clean! Hmmm? What a thought!!

Posted by Gilbert Arizona Real Estate - REALTOR® Candace Robinson Broker Associate (HomeSmart ) almost 4 years ago

Kathy - our goal is do monthly gatherings and yes, the classes will be pertaining to blogging for business. We will NOT be having a July meeting, but email me at join@azrealestateblogs.com and I will make sure you get an invite!!

George - This has been an amazing group and been well worth putting it together! Thanks for the comments and support.

Todd - Jay is wonderful, knowledgable guy, friend and blogger! He's not a bad broker either!! *wink*... But the most talent he has is that he seems to be the 'sexy phoenix realtor' so I hear, go ahead, ask him!!

Posted by Gilbert Arizona Real Estate - REALTOR® Candace Robinson Broker Associate (HomeSmart ) almost 4 years ago

Wow, this sounds great. If I weren't so busy, I would fly out from New Jersey to attend!

Posted by Lisa Friedman Central New Jersey Real Estate (Alliance Realtors) almost 4 years ago
