Our Experience at Elevate Raleigh 2025: Agents Learning, Growing, and Connecting
On Monday, Oct. 6, 2025, the Hillman Real Estate Group at eXp Realty team attended Elevate Raleigh 2025 at the McKimmon Conference and Training Center at NC State, a production-focused conference designed for agents, by agents. Now in its second year, Elevate brings together real estate professionals across the Triangle to learn practical strategies, share insights, and build meaningful connections—all without the fluff or hard pitches.
The day was packed with opportunities to learn from some of the industry’s top innovators. Sessions covered a wide range of timely topics, including:
- Mastering AI in real estate marketing
- Video content creation for listing promotion and client engagement
- Optimizing marketing operations and lead generation
- Building habits for growth
- Leveraging market-tested strategies that are working right now
Team leader Renée Hillman shared her reflections on the event:
“We had a great afternoon learning and networking with some of our colleagues across all brands in the Triangle. We had the privilege to learn from some of the trailblazers in our industry right here in Raleigh. We made some solid connections, deepened relationships, and most importantly learned some new things that we plan to implement to help with our client experience.”
What sets Elevate apart is its community-first approach. Agents who attended were not just seeking personal growth—they were committed to helping peers succeed. With a focus on production, community, and practical strategies, attendees left with actionable insights to immediately improve their business.
The conference also highlighted the value of networking and collaboration. The room was filled with peers eager to share what’s working in today’s real estate market, demonstrating that the best way through a challenging market is together.
For our team, Elevate Raleigh 2025 was more than just a learning opportunity—it was a chance to strengthen connections within the Triangle real estate community and bring back fresh ideas to better serve our clients. We are looking forward to next year!
