The annual 温德米尔湖研讨会 takes place at the end of the month, during which hundreds of our agents gather in person. They’ll talk about important issues, share ideas, and learn about new products and services to help them serve their clients. It’s a community in the very best sense of the word: people united by shared values, camaraderie and a common cause.

The notion of “community” has changed and expanded in recent years, thanks to the Internet. 虚拟社区是一种强大的现象。 不管是好是坏，网络连接是社会的重要组成部分。 博客, social networking sites like 脸谱网, Web-only companies and other e-organizations are growing at a staggering rate. Today, we can tweet, text, Skype, email, and “friend” and “unfriend” others. (I’m not sure exactly when those last two became verbs.)

悦博体育可以加入与悦博体育有共同兴趣的人组成的在线社区，不管他们有多不拘一格。 Whether you’re a vampire hunter, a dog trainer, or a model train collector, there’s a community for you. We can belong to these groups without actually meeting any of the other members in person – and yet we really can share our interests and actively participate in the community.

So, are we ultimately heading toward purely virtual communities where we won’t connect in person anymore? 值得庆幸的是,没有。 人际关系一直存在。 In fact, some of the most popular online communities serve as an efficient “first step” toward an in-person interaction. We’re very likely to start the search for a new job or a new house – or even a new spouse – online. But it’s all leading to a face-to-face connection.

因此，当温德米尔社区定期在网上聚在一起讨论行业现状，以及当前的立法和经济变化如何使悦博体育的客户受益时，我迫不及待地想亲自见到大家。 We’ll shake hands with new acquaintances, hug old friends, laugh, and tell stories. We’ll talk about the real estate business for sure. But more importantly, we’ll be inspired and motivated, because we are a community dedicated to helping each other and our customers.
