Member Testimonial
Joining HIREBA was the best $100 I have ever spent in Real Estate. I get to go to bimonthly meetings and listen to keynote speakers discuss current Real Estate issues. While I enjoy all the Starbucks coffee I can drink to go along with my free breakfast. I can seek answers to my real estate problems from Brokers and affiliates with many years of experience. Once the meeting begins I get to present one of my listings to the group. Talking about its location, upgrades, price, and by the way do you have a buyer for me. There is a bus trip usually in October to a place of interest to the group. While in the bus a speaker will give us the history and details of the location we are going to. Along the route we will stop for lunch where another speaker will talk about Real Estate. If all this was not enough there are 3 social events each year at first class restaurants, where I can network and enjoy appetizers and drink at no cost. I can only say thank you HIREBA for being there. WGE
