Realty Executives International agents from around the globe will gather at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas March 15 through 18 for the company's 15th annual convention.

This year's events will provide agents the opportunity to become familiar with the changing needs of real estate consumers along with proven methods to maximize customer satisfaction. Convention highlights include a motivational seminar with Rudy Ruettiger, the man behind the movie "Rudy," and an impressive evening of entertainment for the company's annual awards ceremony.

"We look forward to our annual convention all year," said Bill Powers, chief operating officer of Realty Executives International. "Each convention promises incredible opportunities to learn more about the industry and enjoy one another's company through various activities."

Realty Executives agents also dedicate one day of the convention to building a new home for a needy family as part of the company's charitable Homes from the Heart program. Through this company wide program, agents work in conjunction with Habitat for Humanity to help fund and build homes for the less fortunate. To date, the company has raised more than $750,000 for Homes from the Heart.
