What You Missed at #RealTech2014

RealTech 2014 kicked off in Las Vegas today. Attendees of Reesio's one-day conference heard from thought-leaders like Better Homes and Gardens CEO Sherry Chris, Zillow's newly-minted VP of Industry Development Curt Beardsley, Joel Burslem of 1000watt, and more.

The big topics of the day ranged from dual agency to consumer search and data--lots of data. Because this up-and-coming annual event is still flying under of most real estate pros, we took to Twitter to follow it. Below is a compilation of the best 140-word snippets of wisdom from #RealTech2014.

If you couldn't make the conference, you still have a chance experience Reesio live! Register today for their upcoming webinar with RE Technology to learn how brokers are taking control of their data and integrating applications to solve problems for agents and consumers.
