The beginning of the week spent in Wheeling at Oglebay for the 2026 WVAR convention ๐๏ธ
Day 1 consisted of committee meetings and our RPAC auction at the Good Zoo, which also included a nap intermission ๐ค
Day 2 consisted of no electric but we still showed up for continuing education with Matthew Rathbun. We learned how to better serve our clients when negotiating home inspections! At lunch we heard from Steve Richman, who was an incredible speaker. We ended lunch celebrating the 2026 leadership academy graduates ๐๐ป
To end the night we celebrated Melissa Hornbeck, Associate Broker as the incoming WVAR President ๐ and also celebrated my dear friend Eric Riggleman for being awarded REALTOR of the year ๐
