The alarm went off at 4:30 a.m. ET Sunday morning (3:30 a.m. ET if you really want to get technical because of Daylight Savings Time) for me to catch my plane to Nashville, Tenn., which was the location for the ERA International Business Conference (IBC) 2010.

Before I knew it I was on the ground, safe and sound at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel.

I was among the 2,016 attendees, surpassing ERAs goal for the conference of 2,010. There was such a great energy throughout the entire conference.

And it only got better as we delivered our Certified Foreclosure Agent (CFA) curriculum to more than 100 agents on Monday.

They even survived the test!

The breakout sessions were timely with speakers such as Dirk Zeller and Fannie Mae. The general sessions were inspiring, too. Keith Ferrazzi — author of “Who’s got your back” — gave an inspiring address and made us think about the quality of our relationships.

The entire experience was an honor and a pleasure. Thank you ERA … we can’t wait until the next event!

Boca Raton, Fla. — March 5, 2010 — Foreclosure.com Director of Education, Linda Yates, will deliver a live, seven-hour Certified Foreclosure Agent (CFA) training course for the benefit of more than 100 agents at ERA® International Business Conference (IBC) 2010, which is scheduled for the Gaylord Opryland Hotel & Convention Center in Nashville, Tenn., on Monday, March 15, 2010.

“Distressed real estate in general and foreclosures in particular will continue to account for a significant amount of transactions now and in the future,” said Yates. “CFA training puts agents on the forefront of this industry-leading trend. We are honored to bring our certification training to IBC.”

The deal-driven educational seminar will be held from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET. Seats are already sold out.
