Real Estate Beach Camp - Ocean City, Maryland

I am so excited. Sunday is Real Estate Beach Camp in Ocean City, Maryland.It seems so long ago that Derek Massey, Marney Kirk, Kim Wood and I began germinating this little seed that was to grow into a RE beach camp.

So what is a Real Estate Bar Camp? RE Bar Camp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees.

We decided to morph our event a bit. Chop down the time involved, and actually hold it in a bar. (No kidding) We tweeked this and that,,, made it at night, instead of during the day, and preplanned 3 sessions, instead of having a sign up board the day (night in our case) of the event.

How will this event be different? We’re holding it at night.  In a bar.  We’re likely to have only 3 sessions, and we will probably select them in advance (please email us or comment if you have any great topic ideas!).  The cool thing about RE BarCamp is that each one is unique.  REBarCamp: An Ocean City Evening promises to be an intimate gathering of real estate professionals who are dedicated to making this a better industry for consumers and professionals alike.
