Networking at Retama Park in Selma TX: Why Local Business Events Matter

This morning I attended the Tri-County Chamber Coffee & Mingle at Retama Park in Selma, Texas. While Retama Park is best known as a horse racing track and entertainment venue in our community, it also serves as a gathering place for local organizations and events that bring business leaders together. The owner is a fellow chamber member and truly represents the welcoming, relationship-driven spirit that makes doing business in this area so special.

Events like this create meaningful opportunities to connect with local business owners, city leaders, and professionals who are actively shaping economic growth across Selma, Schertz, Cibolo, Converse, and the greater Northeast San Antonio corridor. Strong local relationships often lead to collaboration, referrals, and better support for the families and businesses choosing to move to our region.

During the morning I had great conversations with like-minded professionals and even met Carlos DeLaCruz, who is currently campaigning and hopes to be elected to Congress. Discussions around community growth, housing demand, and economic development are important because they directly influence real estate trends and quality of life in the areas I serve.

As a local real estate broker, staying actively involved in chamber events like this helps me stay connected to the heartbeat of the community. It allows me to better guide clients who are relocating, investing, or simply looking to put down roots in Selma and surrounding cities.

If you are new to the area, considering a move, or are a business owner wanting to build strong local relationships, getting involved in chamber events can be one of the most valuable steps you take.   Give me a call at (210) 878-6116 and I'm happy to connect you!
