She provides so many great specifics that can be translated into potential partners that would enable Realtors to differentiate their business and generate more visibility and value ... and bragging rights. Mary's book is not just for those who want "older" folks as customers but also for the 50+ group of consumers - to read about the kind of services and products they should expect to have offered to them. Of course many of us are in both camps - and deeply appreciate observing Mary's continued trailblazing path. She's been talking about this opportunity for some while - and this upcomign conference represents the tipping point in interest, it seems, with many new players getting involved. I look forward to hearing the news from it. I just recommended Mary’s great book to a conference of Realtors.
