Managing Partner Sarah Kosasky to Speak at 2017 Broker Conference Expo

The 2017 California Realtor Expo, the premier tradeshow for California’s real estate industry, will take place in San Diego from October 10-12. Bringing together the best in the business—ranging from top-producing brokers to economists and tech experts—this three day event will be rife with one-of-a-kind education, networking and professional development opportunities.

On October 11, Managing and Founding Partner of Partners Trust Malibu Sarah Kosasky will be speaking at the Expo’s Broker Conference on a panel that explores the process of “Designing a Magnetic Brokerage Culture.” Sarah will discuss her experience of recruiting the right talent, leading her agents to success and forming one of L.A.’s most respected and reliable real estate teams. “The foundation of our office’s culture is support and trust.  It’s no secret that real estate is highly competitive so stress levels in the field can be high. I love healthy competition but to have a successful team, the culture within our walls must be collaborative. I have found that the office needs to provide a respite, a place for agents to come refocus, strategize with one another, freely engage in discussion, exchange new ideas, and root for one another to win.“

Hosted by the California Association of Realtors (CAR), the 2017 Broker Conference is designed to provide you with the tools you need for the brokerage you want. Attendees will gain insight into how one should lead a firm and create a culture that remains true to its values, which certainly strikes a chord with our principles at Partners Trust.

This one-day event at Expo, located at the Marriott Marquis from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., will cost $99 until October 9 and $109 onsite. If you wish to register in advance, please click here.

PT Managing Partner Sarah Kosasky Educates and Unites at CAR’s First WomanUp! Conference

PT Managing Partner Sarah Kosasky inspires day in and day out while leading her associates in Partners Trust’s Malibu office. But on Thursday, June 8, Sarah empowered a different crowd: females in real estate. Sarah spoke on a powerful panel at the California Association of Realtors’ first ever WomanUp! Conference boasting an impressive list of speakers and relevant sessions.

The conference, which was held at The Westin in Pasadena, featured a full day of career-focused women coming together, talking about and exploring the tools needed to take their business to the next level. WomanUp! has its roots in mentorship and leadership, two things that Sarah is particularly drawn to, and touched on everything from effective coaching, to building the best team, finding your mentors, and even starting your own brokerage.

Sarah, along with two other women headed a panel titled, “The Art of the Ask,” where the panel discussed strategies designed to empower women to engage in successful negotiations as well as navigate their way through challenging business discussions. “I am honored to have been asked to speak at the inaugural event,” Sarah said.

By participating in this event, Sarah was able to continue to bridge the community of female leaders in the real estate industry—and Sarah is big on community; she makes it her job to create a collaborative environment in her own office through continued education and unprecedented teamwork. As Sarah spoke on the panel, her commitment to greatness came through. She shared the importance of building relationships and how that has such a significant role in “the ask.”

As the all-day event wrapped up and successful, inspirational women within the industry moved through the ballroom, Sarah expressed her optimism for the future and how she felt the WomanUp! organization was so crucial to industry growth. “I’m especially optimistic about the mentoring relationships that will result from this event and will support future generations of female leadership.”
