Co-founder and investment sales broker Laurence Ross states that "Today's fast paced business environment has created a demand for targeted, efficient networking events that fit neatly into the fold and allow professionals to cut right to the heart of the matter. While a three-minute pitch might seem overwhelming to some, the throw-the-spaghetti on the wall concept really sticks here. It allows you to quickly determine whether or not there is an opportunity for further business." Ross, who works for Besen & Assoc., is co-founder of PropertyRover.com,

Created in 2006, RE Speed Network was designed as an efficient networking concept in which real estate professionals can gather in a friendly and efficient manner in order to create new business opportunities. The company was created as the direct result of the inefficient methods of business networking events that exist today.

Co-Founders Ori and Oren Klein and David Kahane agree that at large networking events you often don't get to meet most of the people in attendance or spend too much time with the wrong person. RE Speed's unique registration process ensures a diverse real estate crowd at every event. The idea for creating a speed networking vertical for real estate was spawned after the founders attended several broad-based functions that were not targeted enough to their specific industry.

This "networking opportunity" begins promptly at 6 pm, with doors opening at 5:30 for pre-event informal networking. Online registration will be first come first served. At the event, the participants will be seated face to face. Each intense networking session will last for three minutes during which participants will introduce themselves, exchange business cards and discuss how they can help one another. At the sound of a bell, the session will end and the participants will move their seats accordingly to face the next person and begin again.
