Schedule

Come by Registration on level R2 and pick up your credentials. While you're here, might as well grab some coffee and breakfast in Partner Alley. Meet the select vendors who were specially invited for this event!

Early bird gets the worm. Grab your seats, we are starting soon!

NextHome is excited to welcome you to the 2022 NextHome Franchise Owner Summit! Our Chief Strategy Officer Keith Robinson will get the event started and walk you through what to expect over the next two days. The WiFi password is “password” - just kidding, attend this session to find out.

Our Chief Executive Officer James will lead the discussion about what we’ve done, where we are headed, and what we’re thinking about - no timelines will be provided 😉 You’ll also hear from other members of our Senior Management Team about specific key metrics in categories such as growth, education, technology, and more.

Grab some coffee and recharge before sessions resume.

With so much to cover, we had to break up this session. Come back for part two as James and the Senior Management Team wrap up the State of the Company.

As Michael Jordan said, “Just play, have fun, enjoy the game.” No one better to lead this game of Orange Bingo than our Culture Committee Chair Heath Van Patten and our Director of Marketing Petya Manning. It’s time to connect with other NextHome owners and brokers from all around the country!

Step away for lunch and enjoy all Chicago has to offer!

What do Broker Summit and karaoke night have in common? Open mic! Transparency and access to the NextHome leadership team are a staple of our culture. During this session, you’ll get a chance to ask the burning questions on your mind, share ideas, and drive real conversations that can turn your ideas into reality.

While HumansOverHouses.com tells the stories of your clients, this session will put you, our NextHome Brokers and Owners, in the spotlight. You’ll hear from some of your peers and be inspired!

Jim leads this panel that will focus on the true metric of success for your brokerage - per agent production. These three broker/owners have had their eye on the ball and have made per agent production the main goal of their company.

Day one will be wrapping up soon, stretch your legs and say hello to our vendors.

Keith will facilitate the discussion with three of the top recruiting brokers in the NextHome franchise. Knowing the objections (and the answers to these questions) before going out on your next recruiting appointment will give you a positive mindset and prepare you to bring on talented agents.

It’s not just what you learn from stage, it’s what you get out of interacting with your peers. Broker to Broker conversations are the lifeblood of this NextHome event. In this session, you’ll be working with your fellow brokers and franchise owners as you navigate real-world scenarios that will affect your company. While Keith and Jim will help facilitate the Table Talk, the most valuable conversations will happen between you and your NextHomies.

A few words from crazy uncle Keith before we wrap up day one and head to our reception!

Join us for our networking event as we wrap up day one of our Franchise Owner Summit! Head to the lobby level for drinks and appetizers at the host hotel's 320 RiverBar Patio and Riverfront Room overlooking the Chicago River.

If you've just arrived, come by registration and get your credentials. Don't forget to stop by Partner Alley for coffee, breakfast, and face time with our sponsors.

Come one, come all! We're about to kick off day two of our Summit!

Grab your coffee, it’s time to get day two started!

Our NextHome Franchise Owner Summit is the midway point between our annual conferences where we share all the great information that you’ll need for your business. Our Director of Events, Mackenzie Baishiki, will take the main stage to reveal the location of our 2023 NextHome Franchise Owner Summit! And we’re heading to… (you’ll have to attend to find out!)

NextHome has always strived to provide our franchisees and agents the very best tools in the business, and Inside Real Estate is one of the top tools we offer. In this session, James and Alissa recap the highlights of this integral product and how our top offices are using it successfully within their brokerages.

Unless you’re a 501c(3), you should want to grow your profitability. With Jim leading the discussion, two of our top profitability broker/owners provide insight on how they have leveraged their businesses through careful analysis of their overhead, the production to support the company, and the auxiliary business opportunities that create profitability no matter the real estate market landscape.

While HumansOverHouses.com tells the stories of your clients, this session will put you, our NextHome Brokers and Owners, in the spotlight. You’ll hear from some of your peers and be inspired!

Stop by Partner Alley and say hello to our generous sponsors. What goodies might they have in store for you and your business?

We are thrilled to have Steve Murray on our main stage for this year's NextHome Franchise Owner Summit. As Founder and Senior Advisor with RealTrends, Steve has over 44 years of experience in real estate. He will be sharing a history of real estate disruptors: past, present, and future. As the authority in mergers and acquisitions in our industry, he will also cover the changing valuation environment, new strategies in acquisitions, and overall talk through some of the ways that you as a Broker/Owner can build value in your company and set yourself up for success in the future. You do not want to miss his session!

Step away for lunch and enjoy all Chicago has to offer!

James will be sitting down with the CEO of NAR, Bob Goldberg, to discuss the DOJ - are the latest headlines different from their previous attempts to change things up, how is NAR fighting back, what are the implications for the future of our industry? Most importantly, as broker/owners, what can you do to best prepare for the changes to come? Of course, we'll also save some time for questions from the audience.

When you begin your NextHome franchise affiliation, creating and strengthening your company’s profitability and stability is your first priority. As you get better at it, expansion is always an option. Hear how these broker/owners chose expansion for their companies and what they did to finance their expansion locations.

While HumansOverHouses.com tells the stories of your clients, this session will put you, our NextHome Brokers and Owners, in the spotlight. You’ll hear from some of your peers and be inspired!

Everyone’s favorite session is back with a new spin. This is your chance to hit us with the questions you’re getting from your agents, and our team will role-play giving them the answers or handling any and all objections. Keith is a veteran at this challenge, it’s time to bring Charis and Jim into the mix! Come ready to share your questions and scenarios. It’s all on the table for you to try and Stump these Chumps!

With hearts full of personal relationship building and minds crammed with business ideas, Keith closes out the event on behalf of all of the NextHome Corporate Team. See you in March in Texas!
