"What makes RealShare Dallas stand out is the combination of some interesting and exciting headline speakers, very topical and interesting panel discussions ... and some great insights on the financing and investment sales markets," says Richard Kelley, director of the conference series sponsored by Real Estate Media Inc., the New York City-based publishers of GlobeSt.com and Real Estate Forum.
