GRAPEVINE, TX, February 21, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- There is no argument that the real estate market in Texas is better than most of the US right now, but it can still be a tough business. It's often cut-throat, time consuming, and very stressful. Having a bit of an edge can be very helpful to a real estate or lending professional, and the partners Rising Point Solutions, LLC have found a way to do that. For those in real estate and lending, good connections mean good business.
Rising Point Company President, Carl Stanley, says he has always been a believer in networking. "A few years ago we made some pretty big investments as event sponsors with some networking groups. I wanted a new and better way to bring many people together at once, and keep it casual and free of charge for the people who came. Something that would help me get new contacts, and help my business partners get contacts too."
In July of 2010 the company contracted Carolyn Clark, an event coordinator, to start what became The Roundup (www.theroundupevents.com). Stanley states that Clark's background in planning a similar type of event that the company had sponsored previously was an obvious fit. Plus, it's really increased his business. "We actually need more office help now with our workload" thanks to the events, he says.
Director of Operations, Monty Brouse, states that The Roundup also "helps people get away from work stresses and relax," and that goes for him personally, as well. "It really is a lot of fun, and I've met some really great people in the business at these things."
Sponsors of the event cover the operating costs for a reasonable fee, and in return are the "star" of the event in their area. They also receive heavy advertising on the web and through weekly emails sent to a very specific audience of real estate and lending professionals. They receive the attendee's contact information as well, which one of the sponsors said was "worth the monthly cost alone."
The attendees also seem to be thrilled with all of the new connections they are making at the events. Posts on the Facebook invitations at press time include:
"It truly is a great opportunity!"
"Wouldn't miss it!"
"I will be there! Can't wait!"
"Both the Fort Worth and the Dallas group are great!"
With the support of sponsors in each area, Rising Point Solutions, LLC has plans to expand to all major markets in Texas with The Roundup. Mid-market areas such as Waco, Abeline, and Amarillo are possibilities as well. Stanley states, "We've had such great success with the connections we've made so far, we're going to do our best to keep this going well into the future."
Rising Point Solutions, LLC has a mission to change people's lives by providing an honest, professional credit consulting and restoration program. Rising Point also seeks to help professionals in mortgage and lending make great connections through www.TheRoundupEvents.com. For more information, please call the Event Coordinator at 817-455-5255.
