Tampa, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/02/2018 --Smith & Associates Real Estate, the largest and most successful locally owned real estate brokerage in Tampa Bay, is leading the charge in sharing developer services best practices among the nation's leading residential real estate brokerage firms. The company recently hosted The Trendsetters Group's inaugural Developer Services Meeting in St. Petersburg, FL this past July 18-19.

With an eye on finding innovative products, services, and systems to improve broker profitability and the real estate process, the meeting's discussion centered around how to work more closely with new home builders and developers and build relationships through innovative marketing.

Host Bob Glaser, President and CEO of Smith & Associates Real Estate, took part in brainstorming and idea sharing on some of the hot topics in Developer Services. "New home construction is a highly-sought-after market for real estate resale experts, and improved relationships with developers and builders can only provide more value to consumers," said Glaser. "The ability to share ideas with some of the sharpest minds in this segment of our business was invaluable - I was thrilled to share how Smith & Associates has been successful in the past and to hear new ideas we can bring to Tampa Bay."
