Buffet Courted for NYC Real Estate Wealth Expo

How do you get one of the world’s wealthiest businessmen to participate in one of your events? Well, for Bill Zanker, founder of The Learning Annex, the answer, he hopes, is to buy Warren Buffet’s used Lincoln Town Car for a lot more than it is worth — $73,200 to be exact — and donate the money to Buffet’s favorite charity called Girls Inc.
Besides offering a curriculum of some 8,000 courses in different topics — including real estate — The Learning Annex puts on its “Real Estate and Wealth Expo” all over the country, and RealtyTrac is a regular exhibitor at those shows. Touting such famous speakers as Donald Trump (who reportedly gets $1.5 million an hour to speak for the Annex), Suze Orman, George Foreman and Al Gore, Zanker is hoping to add Buffet to the lineup for his upcoming expo in New York City Nov. 18-19 and to pay him an undisclosed sum of money that “will knock his socks off.”
RealtyTrac will be at the NYC expo. But before that come visit us at the expo at the Anaheim Convention Center in Southern California Nov. 4-5. If you’re in the area come by and we’ll be glad to show you how investing in foreclosures can be a win-win-win situation for everyone involved.
RealtyTrac has obtained a limited number of free passes to The Learning Annex expos. For further information, call (949) 502-8300 and ask either for Joel at ext. 233 or Daren at ext 115.
