About us
OC Real Estate hosts networking events once each month. No agenda, just networking and cocktails. Are you in the real estate industry? Are you interested in real estate here in Orange County? Maybe you're a real estate investor or vendor. Or maybe you're considering the real estate industry as your next career. If any of these apply to you, come attend one of our networking events, and bring a friend.
My name is Patrick and I also run the OC Happy Hour group (13,000+ members and 300+ events so far). Here's my promise to you: when you attend one of our events, you will meet every single person in attendance. I will personally introduce you to everyone.
And what do I ask for in return? Please share this group with your friends and professional colleagues. If we all do that, our community will grow quickly, and that will benefit us all.
We have only one objective at our events: Meet new people in the industry. By joining OC Real Estate, you will soon be well connected in the real estate industry, and that will (hopefully) accelerate your path towards success.
Visit the OC Happy Hour group here.
Our events will be hosted at various venues in Newport Beach, Irvine, and Costa Mesa. Events will be scheduled with a 6pm start time and a 9pm end time, but attendees are welcome to stay later if they wish. There's always SOMEONE who's celebrating a recent victory, so that usually keeps the energy popping.
Referrals: Do you know a great mortgage lender? Or appraiser? Home staging company? Title and escrow? Photographer? Please post their information on the DISCUSSIONS tab. This will be our collective Real Estate Rolodex of great vendors here within our OC community.
No pitches, no presentations. This community is about socializing and networking, not endless sales pitches. Feel free to exchange business cards, of course, but please limit sales and recruiting activities. Those opportunities are reserved for the people and/or companies who (will hopefully) sponsor our future events. Thank you!
SPONSORS: Would you like to sponsor one of our events? If so, please contact me (Patrick) so we can discuss options. As a new group, our membership will be small, so large sponsorship packages are unrealistic. But as our membership and attendance grows, this community may offer significant opportunities to lenders, title companies, and other real estate service providers.
I try to post one real estate video or tip to my Instagram account every day, so follow me if you're curious about that. My IG handle is @g8patrick

Presentation @ Hangar 24 (Irvine)
Hangar 24,, 17877 Von Karman Avenue, Irvine, CA, USThis is NOT a regular OC Real Estate networking event. I'm speaking at Joe Homs' OC Real Estate Investment Network event and wanted to post it here in case any of you would like to attend. Zero pressure.
Don't worry. This is a one-time thing. I'm not planning to post multiple events like this to our OC Real Estate group. But since a few of you have expressed interest in my 17-year career as a professional speaker, I wanted to let you all know that this would be happening.
Here's the official title & description:
Title: Passive Lead Generation using Facebook Ads ($6 leads)
At this event, Patrick Schwerdtfeger (DRE #01424896) will share his passive lead-generation strategy: targeted Facebook ads that flow directly into his Go High Level CRM, triggering an automated 6-month nurturing sequence that includes 27 educational emails (and SMS messages too) designed to build rapport and trust.
A former business futurist and keynote speaker, Patrick has spoken at 300+ conferences in 26 countries, lectured at Stanford and Purdue, and appeared regularly on Bloomberg TV. Author of six books on technology trends and digital marketing, he now brings his marketing expertise to real estate using intelligent, efficient, and relationship-focused systems.
