ORRA Member Pricing: $10
Instructor: Linda Olson

Most REALTORS® agree that networking is critical to long-term success in real estate. Despite consumers' assumptions that REALTORS® are outgoing and networking comes naturally, in fact, many REALTORS® dread networking. It is often perceived as an awkward, forced and unnatural exchange - which only leads to sweaty palms, uncomfortable silences and unproductive conversations. How do you leave those shaky knees behind and become better at networking? Start with attending this program! You will leave with solid strategies and techniques that will allow you to feel more comfortable in networking settings, make a positive impression and generate new contacts.

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
• Recognize how successful networking can help you establish yourself as a professional 
• Identify seven habits of successful networks
• Prepare an "elevator speech"
• Formulate a plan to successfully network an event
• Develop a list of questions to be used for conversation starters 
• Assess when the conversation is over and how to tactfully move on
• And much more!

Linda Olson

Linda Olson is a Realtor with D. Basile Real Estate, LLC in Melbourne, Florida. Linda specializes in all non-residential property types, especially vacant land throughout Brevard County.

Linda brings a unique perspective to the real estate field as she also has 20 plus years of experience as an environmental consultant. This allows her to offer specialized services regarding the intricacy of determining the developability of a property and to provide advice as to how to optimize a property's use in relation to environmental concerns. Linda also uses this expertise to assist Owners to set a competitive price that considers what a Buyer may need to do to develop the land. In addition, she helps Buyers to negotiate a better price on the purchase of land as she can assist them to determine the costs of improving the property such as completing environmental studies, assessing impacts, and providing mitigation.

During both Linda's environmental and real estate careers, for more than 10 years, she was actively involved with the local Home Builders and Contractors Association. The additional knowledge that she gained from this association and the contacts she has with builders, remodelers, and distributors of products gives her unique information and insight into "green" building techniques for improving a home's energy efficiency.
