This has to be one of the best tools available for keeping your important real estate listing documents and paperwork on hand where ever you are and accessible from any computer Mac or PC, iPhone or any connected device.

Dropbox is one of those tools that once you use it you will wonder how you lived without it. Imagine writing an offer at someones house and for some reason you are missing the subject sale clause in your folder… You have 2 options, call your assistant and ask them to forward it to you (oh by the way its 8pm and she isn’t answering her phone) or with Dropbox on your iPhone, select the folder clauses and choose the subject-sale.pdf and you can forward this as a link to the clients email to print out or read and re-write it there. Most people have a printer at home and will be happy to oblige, remember this scenario is out of the ordinary.

We are here for you, we want to help you succeed online, reduce your financial outlay on out dated marketing mediums that are taxing your pocket and the environment each day we use them. Digital is where its at, its cheaper faster and today… no waiting for printers, flyers and crap that you can’t monitor with analytics. Generation X is here,we are everywhere and we live in a ‘buy now’ world. Look at the largest generation of home owners for the next 10 years, there are more of them, expect now and don’t want to chit chat, we just want it done.

Don’t ring me for idle talk, I don’t have time to chat… send me an email and I’ll get to it when i’m finished when I have time. I am Gen X

Never before have we been so connected to one another yet we are all still so far apart in the real world. I can travel the world in a few mouse click, investigate anything, learn whatever I can dream of and more… all from my iPhone. Lets look at this as a simple picture of the real world that real estate training has forgot to mention. Sorry old skool trainers but you are so far behind of whats coming and is about to crash the party that if you are not telling your students to get online in a big way then lookout for the agents who do, they are coming they move fast and we are showing them what to do.

Creating great content for your real estate website will boost your search engine ranking while improving your overall real estate website design.

According to a recent survey undertaken by HiveFire, an internet marketing company and post by Entrepreneur, content marketing methods (the creation of great content) are now eclipsing traditional online marketing methods such as search engine marketing.

A tribute to Steve Jobs and some wonderful videos to remember this great man who has touched all of us

Unsure to the reference so if you know let us know in the comments below.

Here’s to the Crazy One.

The misfit. The rebel. The troublemaker.
The round peg in the square hole.

The one who saw thinks differently

He wasn’t fond of rules
And he had no respect for the status quo.

You can quote him, disagree with him, glorift or vilify him.
About the only thing you can’t do is ignore him.
Because he changed things.

He pushed the human race forward.
And while some may have seen him as the crazy one,
we saw genius.

Because the man who was crazy enough to think
he could change the world, was the one who did.

Put that in context with a soft market and you have a recipe for an agent to practically ‘give away’ his or her services. It’s important to let the client know that your experience, professionalism, and ability to sell properties is why you’re worth it.

In the world of real estate, reputation is as important, arguably even more so, than your ability to close a sale or attract potential clients. Your reputation, especially in the modern age of the internet, carries far more weight today with buyers and sellers than it has at any other time throughout modern history. Consumers are more empowered today and will go online and do their due diligence to determine whether the real estate agent whom they are considering working with has the experience, professionalism, and reputation they are seeking.
