Summary

On this episode of the Best Ever CRE Show, Travis Watts shares invaluable advice for effectively networking at real estate conferences and meetups. Drawing from seven years of experience attending local, national, and international events, Travis emphasizes the importance of approaching networking with a clear game plan and focusing on building genuine, long-term relationships rather than making quick sales. He shares practical tips like listening more than talking, having quality business cards with your photo, and focusing on making one deep connection rather than collecting dozens of shallow ones. Travis also explains how to engage people in meaningful conversations by getting them to talk about their goals and pain points, and why sharing stories is more memorable than rattling off market statistics. This episode is essential listening for anyone looking to make the most of their next real estate conference or networking event.
