This morning, I spoke to a group of Asheville Realtors who deal with commercial real estate. I talked social media with them, then hung out to listen in on the rest of their meeting. I’m glad I did. These men and women are full of news and story tips. Here’s some of what I picked up. I tweeted it all over @ashevegas, if you want to follow me there:
