Dreams don’t become goals until you write them down.”  Wise words from Mr. 22 himself, NFL Hall of Famer, Emmitt Smith.  We were very lucky to hear him speak at the opening session for the TAA Education Conference and Expo last week.

This year’s TAA conference was held in good ol’ Houston at the Hilton of Americas and the George R. Brown Convention Center downtown.

Most of Thursday consisted getting ready for the Lone Star Expo that was held from 5- 7:30 PM.  We got our nifty badges and headed over to our booth to set it up.  We were super excited to have our brand new booth displays for this show.  And boy were they easy to set up.  Easy as 1- 2- 3 maybe?  Why yes… yes it was.

On the Move… Again!!

Written by Moveforfree on April 20, 2010 – 2:12 pm -

Yes you hear that right.  MoveforFREE.com is on the road again.  No not the Willie Nelson song… we will be checking out the TAA (Texas Apartment Association) Education Conference and Lone Star Expo this Thursday and Friday.  This is the big one folks.

Multi- Family professionals from all over Texas will be attending this annual conference and trade show.

This is a once a year opportunity for us to learn industry specific information and most of all we will be able to interactive DIRECTLY with the industry professionals; such as apartment management companies and apartment property leasing professionals.

The difficult economy has hit everyone hard including the apartment properties.  People are moving in with relatives and occupancy is definitely low.  MoveforFREE.com is here to help!  Just imagine thousands of prospective renters being highly motivated to move in to your community because they can benefit from MoveforFREE.com’s relocation services and have their furnishings moved for free!

At past trade shows we hear over and over…. “We use you guys all the time!”  “Thank you so much for sending us our residents!”  It is so nice to see in person how MoveforFREE is effecting them… in such a good way!

So if you will be attending the TAA Conference PLEASE stop by our booth at the Lone Star Expo either Thursday from 5- 7:30 or Friday from 11- 3.  We will be handing out some cool goodies and having people sign up to follow us on our Facebook Fan page and follow us on Twitter.  Mention that you saw this and get a free t-shirt!  (while supplies last)
