WiscoREIA Eau Claire: Networking Night (11 Aug 2026)

Tue, 11 Aug 2026 23:30:00 GMT

Networking Night

Connect. Collaborate. Close Deals.

Real estate is a relationship business.

The best deals, funding sources, partnerships, referrals, and opportunities rarely come from sitting behind a computer—they come from conversations with the right people.

This month, we're putting the spotlight on networking.

Whether you're an experienced investor, a realtor, a lender, a contractor, a property manager, or someone looking to break into real estate investing, this is your chance to connect with active professionals who are making things happen in the Chippewa Valley and beyond.

No formal presentation. No sales pitch. Just an evening dedicated to building relationships, sharing opportunities, and connecting with people who can help you move your business forward.

You may find:

✅ A deal you've been looking for

✅ A funding source for your next project

✅ A future business partner

✅ A contractor or service provider you can trust

✅ A solution to a challenge you're currently facing

✅ Valuable insights from investors who have already been where you want to go

Some of the most successful investors can trace major breakthroughs in their business back to a single conversation, a single introduction, or a single relationship.

Who will you meet?

Come prepared to share what you're working on, what you're looking for, and how you can help others in the room. Bring your business cards, your deals, your questions, and your goals.

Because in real estate, your network truly is your net worth.

Join us for an evening of connections, conversations, and opportunities at WiscoREIA Eau Claire.

WiscoREIA Eau Claire: The Invisible Chain Holding Most Investors Back (13 Oct 2026)

Tue, 13 Oct 2026 23:30:00 GMT

The Invisible Chain Holding Most Investors Back

Click here to pre-register!

What if you could do more deals, make more money, and actually feel at peace doing it?

Not a new strategy. Not another system.

Just finally removing the ceiling that's been there the whole time.

I know that ceiling exists because I hit it myself. I was sitting at my kitchen table staring at a foreclosure notice. Wife who believed in me. Three kids counting on me. No plan. That wasn't a market problem. It wasn't a strategy problem. It was an identity problem. And the moment I figured that out, everything changed.

This talk is what I wish someone had said to me in that room.

What Your Members Will Walk Away With:
✅ The real reason most investors stay stuck despite having all the knowledge they need

✅ How the brain is either driving results or quietly blocking them (and most investors never know which)

✅ A practical framework for breaking the invisible patterns behind inconsistency, avoidance, and burnout

✅ A clear path from grinding and overwhelmed to free and actually building the life they got into real estate for

Who This Speaks To:

✅ New investors who can't seem to get moving despite having the information

✅ Active investors doing deals but still feeling trapped, burned out, or like something is missing

✅ Seasoned investors who have built something but still don't feel the freedom they signed up for

Free Giveaway:

✅ Every attendee gets a free copy of my e-book "Flip Your Future: 5 Steps to Build Wealth and Find Purpose Through Real Estate" including a bonus Identity and Wealth Checklist they can use every single week.

My Only Ask From the Room:

✅ Grab the free resource

✅ Follow me on socials

✅ No pitch. No selling. Just value.

WiscoREIA Eau Claire: Negotiation That Gets You More Deals & More Profits (10 Nov 2026)

Wed, 11 Nov 2026 00:30:00 GMT

Negotiation That Gets You More Deals & More Profits

Click here to pre-register!

Most investors lose deals long before the seller ever says “no.”

Why? Because they negotiate too timidly, too emotionally, or too quickly overpay just to get the deal done. In this powerful session, you’ll learn how successful investors negotiate with confidence, uncover real seller motivation, and structure conversations that lead to more signed contracts and bigger profits.

This isn’t about “lowballing” sellers. It’s about understanding people, solving problems, and creating win-win opportunities that actually close.

In this training, you’ll discover:

✅ Why most investors accidentally negotiate against themselves

✅ How to talk to motivated sellers without sounding desperate or pushy

✅ How to uncover the seller’s REAL problem — not just their asking price

✅ Why the way you present an offer can make or break the deal

✅ Simple negotiation techniques that create movement and momentum

✅ How to stay calm, professional, and in control when sellers push back

✅ Why negotiation is often the difference between a dead lead and a profitable deal

Whether you’re brand new or already doing deals, this session will help you become more confident in seller conversations and better equipped to close profitable opportunities.

If you want more deals without simply offering more money, you do not want to miss this one.

Speaker: Tom Zeeb

Tom Zeeb is a national real estate investing speaker and mentor who helps investors create more deals by mastering the two areas most people never systemize: consistent deal flow and seller conversations.

Back in 2001, Tom was broke and stuck in a 9-to-5. A near-death experience while whitewater rafting forced a hard reset, and he committed to building a life with more control. Real estate investing became the vehicle, but it was not a smooth start. His first deal almost took him under too.

Hundreds of deals later, Tom now teaches the same negotiation, marketing, and execution frameworks that set him free, in a way that is simple, structured, and immediately usable.

Tom works with investors at every level:

• Beginners who are stuck in confusion and never get their first deal.

• Intermediate investors who have done a deal or two but cannot get consistent.

• Advanced investors who built something that makes money but not freedom, and need to re-engineer the business.

Tom's approach is direct and practical. He focuses on the core elements that drive results:

• Finding motivated sellers with repeatable marketing.

• Turning leads into deals through negotiation structure and clean seller conversations.

• Installing weekly execution rhythms so the business stops being random.

It is amazing what a few targeted tweaks to the core elements of a business can do.

Tom teaches investors how to identify those elements and implement them, so their deals, profits, and time freedom finally match the reason they got into real estate in the first place.
