Every business runs on relationships: the professional organizer who sorts a lifetime of belongings, the mover who handles the heavy lifting, the move manager who coordinates it all, the Realtor, the lender who answers the phone, the designer, the attorney, the insurance professional, the nonprofit leader and the tradesperson whose name you pass along without hesitation. Real Estate Nexus Coffee & Conversation, hosted by Alena Biagas and Sabrina David, is a business networking event that gathers these professionals and community representatives in one welcoming room so you can learn what each of them does. Real estate is where the conversation began, and it is only one thread in the whole fabric. Imagine the next time a client or colleague needs help outside your specialty: instead of searching, you will think of a face, a name and a conversation you had in Rockville.
