San Francisco, CA | Richard Ragatz, president of Ragatz Associates, has released the full agenda for the ninth annual Ragatz Fractional Interest Conference, set to take place on March 9th through 11th at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco. The conference is a highly anticipated annual forum which will discuss the current and future state of this unique resort real estate industry. Industry leader speakers scheduled to appear include representatives from Hyatt, Fairmont, Timbers Resorts, Harrison Group, Robb Report, etc.

Concerning the theme of this year's conference, Ragatz notes:

"The conference this year is especially important, considering the current economic crisis we are facing. Many whole-ownership projects convert to fractional interest to broaden the market and take advantage of untapped consumer demand."

An addition to this year's conference is the option to sign up for several fractional property tours, taking place in both Napa Valley and San Francisco. Central themes to be addressed by over 60 speakers include new approaches to marketing and sales in a down economy, examples of how some projects are still making sales, and how to listen more effectively to today's consumer.

Ragatz Associates is internationally recognized as the leading consulting and market research firm in the resort real estate industry. The firm has conducted more than 2,500 studies in over 70 countries since its formation in 1974. It specializes in feasibility analysis and consumer research.
