Wendy Tremaglio, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker in Westport has been a trailblazer; she was an early adopter of the first iPad, moved to the iPad 2 and has graduated to the iPad 3. The iPad has become an integral part of her business.

Ed Fitzgerald is a web marketing and technology specialist, a lifelong PC guy, he got his first iPad a few months ago and was amazed at what it can do. He now uses it for his business and often skips carrying the laptop in favor of the iPad.

Wendy and Ed teach iPad classes for Realtors and will share with us examples of how they use it, along with tips, tricks and the apps they have found to be most useful.

Wendy has been a Realtor since 2003 and is a partner in TNT Partners, an award winning team at Coldwell Banker. Prior to that she owned Tableworks/Dining In in Norwalk for 20 years.

Ed followed a career at IBM with the creation of an internet based medical education business which led to a web marketing and technology consultancy focusing on the real estate industry.
