Marc Lawrence at the first
Real Estate Insiders Network
On a Tuesday last month, more than 100 real estate professionals gathered to celebrate the launch of a new company called Real Estate Insiders Network, or REIN. With help from an open bar, brokers and developers schmoozed with lawyers, lenders and designers.
“Real estate is still a business of relationships and face-to-face connections,” said REIN cofounder Marc Lawrence. As senior managing director at the title insurance agency American Land Services, he’s gone to hundreds of industry events during his 20 years in real estate. He’s even organized them himself. But Lawrence and American Land colleague Ruanna Sakols felt they could attract a broader audience by forming an independent company to host networking events. So they launched REIN, which will organize panels, conferences and other events. [more]
