\"\"<\/a>Real estate professionals gather at Three Bulls Tavern & Brewery on Bell Shoals Road for weekly Brandon\/Valrico Real Estate Pitch Group meetings. <\/p>\n

By Olivia Clark <\/p>\n

The Brandon\/Valrico Real Estate Pitch Group, a free weekly meetup for real estate professionals, is marking a milestone year with record attendance and a renewed push to grow participation in the new year. <\/p>\n

The group meets every Wednesday from 9:30-10:30 a.m. at Three Bulls Tavern & Brewery on Bell Shoals Road and is open to anyone involved in the home-selling industry, including realtors, brokers, builders, roofers, insurance professionals, title companies and other real-estate-related businesses. The meetings are designed to encourage collaboration, networking and the exchange of timely market information. <\/p>\n

The group recently logged its largest turnout to date with 54 attendees. Participants representing a wide range of brokerages and service providers attend to pitch current listings, discuss price changes, promote open houses, share buyer wants and needs and highlight recent success stories. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s one of the reasons we\u2019re here. Sixteen years we\u2019re doing this now. I think we have the most successful pitch group anywhere,\u201d said Tim Ryan, an employee of Fidelity National Financial and founder of the Brandon\/Valrico group. <\/p>\n

Along with listings and buyer needs, professionals use the meetings to share real-world market experiences. One Realtor described a property that \u201cwent on the market before the hurricanes last year and it took 15 months to sell,\u201d eventually closing on December 29, 2024. <\/p>\n

Guest speakers also provide practical guidance on marketing, pricing and client relationships. \u201cBe out amongst the people, that\u2019s what is going to help you do great in this business,\u201d said Steve Moran, who spoke at the most recent networking event. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ryan said the group meets every Wednesday for the next 48 weeks and is structured to ensure attendees leave with useful information. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe want everyone to come here and pitch their listings, learn something and get a piece of information,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

Jim Gaffney and Mike Holmes assist with coordinating the meetings. <\/p>\n

A state-of-the-industry address focused on the current market is planned for Wednesday, January 21.
