Aaron Norris opened up the event by giving the history of I Survived Real Estate. It was created back in 2008 during some of the toughest years the industry has ever experienced. They had a few simple goals in mind when they first set it up. Their first goal was to invite friends throughout the real estate community to celebrate the work they collectively do. The second was to invite thought leaders who help shape the industry and share their thoughts on the year ahead. Thirdly, their goal was to raise money for important charities.
