It’s party time, MREA style. Today’s episode features Michael J. Maher, author of The Seven Levels of Communication and master of real estate events. Maher’s team closes over 200 transactions a year, driven almost entirely by creating memorable experiences and a robust referral network. If traditional “networking” feels forced, Michael offers a system grounded in generosity, authentic relationships, and purposeful events.
He breaks down the three event types (I, We, and They), the art of the invitation, and the five essential sequences to turn every event into a referral powerhouse. From strategic planning to powerful follow-up, Maher reveals how to build a community of advocates, regardless of personality or experience level.
For anyone ready to move beyond cold calls and into real connection, this episode delivers a practical blueprint for building a business fueled by love, appreciation, and results. Go to mreanotes.com to sign up for all resources and takeaway notes from today’s show.
