This week, Boyd & Berend Group co-lead Ben Berend proudly represented Steamboat Springs as the only local agent at the prestigious Sotheby’s International Realty Texas Networking Event (TNE) in Dallas, Texas. The gathering brought together some of the nation’s top-performing brokers, and Ben’s time there provided invaluable opportunities to strengthen connections, gain market insights, and bring direct benefits back to our clients here in Steamboat.
Texas remains a top feeder market for Steamboat Springs, and Ben spent the week connecting with Sotheby’s International Realty brokers across the state. These relationships are critical in ensuring our clients’ properties are seen by the right buyers around the country. By building these bridges, we can introduce Steamboat listings to highly qualified buyers who are actively seeking lifestyle properties in Colorado’s mountain communities.
Throughout the event, Ben engaged with some of the highest-performing real estate professionals in the country. From discovering new technology tools to understanding evolving industry trends, he brought home valuable strategies that help us refine our marketing, streamline the client experience, and continue delivering the white-glove service our clients expect.
In addition to TNE, Ben also hosted a Colorado Ski Towns (COST) event alongside the COST team at the Omni Dallas Hotel, overlooking the Dallas skyline. With more than 100 agents in attendance, the event was an opportunity to showcase the deep ties between Colorado and Texas. As the team shared, “Colorado loves Texas and Texas loves Colorado,” and this event was a perfect example of that connection in action.
From forging stronger referral networks to learning fresh insights on marketing and client care, Ben’s time in Dallas ensures that our clients in Steamboat benefit directly from Sotheby’s International Realty’s global reach. These efforts expand visibility for our listings, attract the best buyers, and help us stay ahead in an evolving marketplace. At the Boyd & Berend Group, we know that success is built not just on local expertise, but also on the power of global connections, and events like TNE are where those connections come to life.
