RE/MAX EVOLVE hold Australia and New Zealand-wide real estate network event

RE/MAX EVOLVE has held the real estate network’s first Australia and New Zealand-wide event to be hosted via a purpose-built virtual platform.

“This wasn’t just a standard Zoom call,” said Michael Davoren, Managing Director of RE/MAX Australia. 

“The event was held on a purpose-built virtual event platform which made the experience unique and highly engaging for attendees.”

More than 350 RE/MAX members from across Australia and New Zealand participated in the event, which took place on May 19, oscillating between presentation mode with key speakers and networking mode where they could move freely from table to table and engage in face-to-face table and private chats.

“The ‘new normal’ gave us a star-studded speaker line-up we’d not otherwise have had access to,” Mr Davoren said.

Mr Davoren said the event signified the adaptations and the strengthened connections that were occurring through the COVID-19 crisis.

“In my years of experience, there have been five or six major events, including this one, and every time, there have been agents left behind by going back to old ways. Agents must step up and use what they have learned in the past two months; and the things we take forward will be our points of difference … in the way we meet more diversified customer needs.”

“We thank all RE/MAX members for heeding advice and following our guidelines in doing business in what’s been tough times,” Mr Davoren added.

“And while I believe it will be the second half of the year before we see our business income pick up, this second quarter of 2020 is where it all begins.

“Consumer sentiment is rising, and good agents are responding – and the result will be more stock on the market, better property marketing and ultimately a return to a dynamic real estate market.”
