The Texas Association of Real Estate Brokers (TAREB) celebrates their 65th annual conference in Houston with a three-day celebration dedicated to the topic: United, Committed, and Empowered for Success.
The conference kicked off on Thursday, June 9th with several breakout sessions for guests to attend. The topics of discussion ranged from marketing as an agent to maximizing your real estate license, and much more.
On Friday, June 10th TAREB organized more breakout sessions followed by a luncheon that allowed for networking with various agents and even scholarship presentations by TAREB, HAR, Hancock Whitney & Texas Realtors. Later that evening, the organization hosted Denim & Diamonds, a Texas casino night scholarship fundraiser and networking event.
We asked Robert Wright, President and Chief Executive Officer of TAREB his thoughts on the turnout of the event. He responded with “I think it is going great. This might be the biggest turnout that we’ve had in the last 15 years. We have a great program with our casino night tonight. My biggest thing was making sure that we put together a great program that would directly benefit the members”.
When asked about the future of TAREB, he mentioned “the whole thing we want to do is grow. We are trying to create Black wealth through home ownership. We are trying to raise that Black home ownership rate. But for me, it’s not necessarily about that number, but the more members we have, the more opportunities we create to improve that number”, said Mr. Wright.
Finally, we asked what advice Mr. Wright could give someone who is eager to get involved and to network with like-minded people in real estate. Mr. Wright said “the first thing I would tell them, is if you are doing it for the money, this is the wrong organization. We are a serving organization that is dedicated to assisting individuals who are needing help in homeownership. If you are looking to serve in your community, then this is a great organization for you”.
On Saturday June 11th, TAREB closed out the weekend of events with an inspirational breakfast with guest speaker Dr. Rudy Rasmus of St. John Methodist Church.
Mr. Wright has confirmed that next years 66th annual celebration will be held in Fort Worth, Texas.
