LAS VEGAS, NV- Our Relocation Director Catharine Pappas was a speaker at the 2010 Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® (LeadingRE) conference March 9-11, at the Encore at Wynn hotel in Las Vegas. The annual event attracted 850 top real estate brokers, managers, relocation professionals, sponsors and guests from the U.S. and eight countries around the world. Participating brokerages represented one-third of the U.S. real estate market, with annual sales production of over $280 billion. The event’s sponsors included Grand Sponsor HGTV’s FrontDoor.com.

The conference featured an impressive line-up of nearly 150 industry and LeadingRE member speakers, who addressed a wide range of topics impacting the real estate industry. Keynote presentations included Guy Kawasaki of Apple Computer fame; FHA Commissioner Dave Stevens; Ron Peltier of HomeServices of America; elite adventure racer and female firefighter Robin Benincasa; leadership coach Mike Staver; market strategist and speaker Steve Harney; and real estate technology coach Matthew Ferrara.

“The insights offered by our speakers at this conference were extraordinary,” notes Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® President/CEO Pam O’Connor. “As the real estate industry continues to respond to market shifts and changes in client needs and preferences, the willingness of our members to share success strategies with one another continues to help distinguish our network and make these firms the leaders in the markets they serve.”
