On Oct. 11-14, nearly 200 luxury property experts met in Philadelphia for the 13th Annual Luxury Real Estate Fall Conference at the Ritz-Carlton Philadelphia. Brian and I, exclusive Board of Regents members for Westmount, Montreal and surrounding area, were able to renew old friendships and make new ones. We shared time, experience and knowledge with the top Realtors of the world – from Europe, Australia, Mexico, the Caribbean and the United States. In addition to the full day discussions of successful strategies and reports on current market conditions, more than a dozen LuxuryRealEstate.com members were honored with awards during a 'black tie' banquet on the final evening of the event. It was an inspiring experience to be with such a prestigious group of professionals. We are really looking forward to the winter conference next January in Paris.
