We are thrilled to announce the 16th annual TREPAC Cake Auction event at the Austin Board of REALTORS®! The Women’s Council of REALTORS® has a rich history of supporting TREPAC, and this event is one of our highlights of the year. Not only do we get to share why you see us proudly wearing purple, but we also have an exciting lineup of activities planned. Join us for a fun-filled evening featuring cakes and gifts, as well as special appearances by Leslie Cantu and Ron Oliveira. Indulge in heavy appetizers and toast to a great cause at our champagne bar. All proceeds from the auction will go towards your TREPAC investment.
Our monthly business-building coffee meetups have been a huge success, and I want to express my gratitude for recognizing their value. Each gathering offers a fresh topic for discussion, along with occasional pop-by supplies. In January, we delved into business planning, followed by pop-bys & reels in February, and farming in March. Stay tuned to our Facebook page for updates on upcoming meetups.
In February, we hosted an event featuring Colin Newberry, who delivered valuable insights on LLCs, including series LLCs, and their suitability for your needs. The information shared was highly informative, sparking engaging discussions and allowing for in-depth Q&A sessions and networking opportunities. Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to making the event a success!
In March, we organized a members-only meet-up focused on establishing a referral network based on various niches. It was a fantastic opportunity to offer value to our members and facilitate the creation of potential business opportunities.
Be sure to watch out for our upcoming Mother’s Day event in May and our exciting Purse Bingo event in July. Both gatherings provide wonderful opportunities for client appreciation and networking.
If you are considering becoming a member, visit wcr.org to sign up. Additionally, we are currently seeking applicants for our 2025 board, so please don’t hesitate to contact me if you are interested in joining. We are eagerly anticipating your presence at our next event!

The market has been changing, and so are we! It feels like the activity in the Austin market is getting busier as spring approaches. Our February was full of activities from our organization, including events at the Texas Realtors conference, learning all about LLC’s and making better reels, and meeting up to make popby’s.
With everything February had to offer, we are kicking off March with a members only virtual networking event. As the market is picking up and people are reaching out, this is prime time for us to build relationships between the different networks and provide referral business based on the different niches.
If you haven’t joined us yet, this is such a great opportunity! It is still early in the year, and this year is built around supporting our members and helping you achieve the success you are dreaming of. We would love to hear from you! If you don’t know who we are or what we are about, drop me a line and let’s chat.
