The 2nd RETech South event is slated to take place March 20th in Atlanta. Brad and Matt tell us about the line up of content, sponsors and more. REtechSouth was born out of the desire to host a conversation about the technological changes impacting the real estate industry. A place where agents, brokers, lenders, builders and many other real estate industry practitioners could join together to collaborate on how technology can improve business. What tools work best? What websites are best for networking? Which vendor has the best product? What are the best practices for growing my online presence?
