Although HomeGain was not an exhibitor this year at the National Association of Realtors® (NAR) Annual Conference & Expo in San Diego, California, we sent our best representative, Max The HomeGain Gorilla, to greet hundreds of Realtors as they entered the real estate trade show over the weekend.
Did you spot the Max-mobile truck? (See photos below) Let us know if you did!

Thank you to all who attended and made HomeGain Live Nation a success. As Karen Breen Elia says below in her video, it was indeed a 2-way street of giving and getting of real estate strategies and insight for those who attended.

Max, the HomeGain gorilla, fresh back from his trip to India has been resting up by taking long walks along the San Francisco Bay…
…and hanging in the Sierras…
…in anticipation of his second annual “What’s Your Home Worth” /”Find a Realtor” auto tour.
Max will be firing up his Max Mobile and hitting the streets of San Diego and New York loaded cases of with his favorite drink– coconut milk and a half dozen jars of jelly beans.
But first… Max is heading to Atlanta…
At Inman Connect last week I had the pleasure of meeting Matt Fagioli. Mr. Fagioli, a HomeGain AgentView customer, has organized an impressive “Inman South” conference called RETech South, which boasts a fine roster of speakers to be held at the Gwinnett Center in Atlanta on Friday March 20.
Yesterday Matt and I spoke about RETech South and its objectives. 
Matt is also a member of HomeGain Nation a 200+ member interactive forum on the Ning platform. This morning Matt posted a blog entitled “How Print Marketing Still Brings Home the Bacon” and I have reproduced it in its entirety here:
How Print Marketing Still Brings Home The Bacon
I had the pleasure of a phone call yesterday with our friend Louis. His view of “all this 2.0 stuff” is really refreshing because he realizes that while it’s all very cool and trendy and slick, it does NOT replace print marketing – nor does it replace the good old fashioned handshake. Our 2.0 world merely compliments our off-line efforts.
Thousands of real estate professionals descended upon the HomeGain booth to learn about HomeGain.
On Saturday and Sunday Mitch Ribak and Joe Ferrara participated in our “Meet the Experts” program.
Joe gave blogging tips to visitors to the HomeGain booth and Mitch talked about how to use HomeGain’s Buyerlink in connection with capturing and converting leads.
From Friday until Monday, Realtors lined up to win their own Max and to pick up a Max button.
We will have a complete report on NAR later this week.
Here is Max hanging around on Friday afternoon waiting for the show to begin!
