Host Local Real Estate Networking Events with BiggerPockets

One of the most important ways for real estate investors and professionals to expand their businesses is by networking.  While networking online is great, there is nothing like meeting people in person.

There are many opportunities  to do this, namely, by attending local real estate clubs.  That said, there aren't always clubs in your area, and many of these clubs aren't more than sell-fests.  We at BiggerPockets.com feel that these groups do a disservice to their members, who pay for the privilege to get sold someone's overpriced course or other materials.

Use BiggerPockets Events to Plan your Own Real Estate Networking Event

 Instead of suffering through one of these awful meetings, why not create your own?  With 30,000 members and around 150,000 unique monthly visitors, BiggerPockets has a vast audience of real estate fanatics who would be great to meet in person!

How to Get People Excited to Join Your Event

If you don't know many people yet, you can also promote the event in the local real estate networking forum, where others on the site can also learn about it.

Other promotional techniques include sharing the link to your event on places like Craigslist, FaceBook, LinkedIn, and Twitter.

Start Small and Spread the Word

Don't be discouraged if only a few people show up to your event.  These things grow little by little.  You just have to get it started and then begin hosting these regularly - people will let others know and you'll start to grow.

You don't need an agenda or plan to have an event!

 We put on events here in Denver once every month or two, and host it in a local pub with a great patio. These events provide a great opportunity for locals to link up, learn, and network over some food and drinks in a casual setting.  There is no pressure, no selling, no nonsense.
