Information is great, being helpful is awesome, asking for what you want is priceless. I am always surprised when my brother and I review a real estate agent’s website, via our free website tune-up, and find an overwhelming source of quality content but very few places where they actually ask the consumer to work with them or provide them with additional information. Here is the thing. If you are providing the consumer, your next potential customer, with the information that they are looking... 

That’s right I said it, effective. There are plenty of ways to generate leads on the Internet and in the not so distant future we will be having another call with even more ways to generate leads from the Internet. We hope that you are already generating leads from your website, blog, or craigslist system, but if you aren’t or you want even more than we have a call for you today. In this call we are going to be discussing what you can do right now for more leads. We are even going to... 

I believe someone once said The definition of insanity is doing the exact same thing that you have been doing and expecting a different result. How does this affect you? If your year isn’t turning out like you wanted you have two choices. You can sit and whine about “how bad the market is” or you can start taking some action and some responsibility that things aren’t like they used to and more work is needed to generate the same or less business than before. So what can you... 

My brother and I love software. There are times though when you just dread having to make sure you evaluate the software that you need. I mean who really wants to spend the time visiting website after website and comparing different pieces of software. Before anyone starts telling me all of the different sites available that compare software let’s talk about a few industries that it is hard to find software for: Construction Industry Medical Software Retail software All of these industries... 

In case you didn’t know it you need to be generating more leads than ever before. Most of us are facing a sinking budget or we are at a $0 budget so now we have to generate more with even less and unless you love making “cold calls” then the options you have are winding down. I would suggest that the only way to avoid having to leave real estate is to work on generating as many leads as you can with the lowest budget possible. So let’s cover a few things that will allow you... 

The phrase “content is king” rings loudly across the internet.  For the most part it is certainly true because if your content is compelling (and people actually view it) you can quickly develop raving fans across the globe.  But, the best content in the world can be hurt by poor presentation.  Remember in school when you had to to a term paper?  If you felt your paper was only average you might take the time to purchase a better binder to put it, make sure the cover page looked excellent,... 

Seeing your website and blog explode with traffic is a truly wonderful experience. Finally all the hard work of writing new pages, creating detailed ads, submitting to directories pays off.  You monitor your traffic nearly to a point of obsession, because you know if you can just get enough people to your website that the leads will just flood in! Strangely, for many, as the traffic increases, the lead count does not grow to the same degree.  Even hitting those great bench marks, like 1,000... 

My brother and I hear all the time “Buyers are Liars” and these days we hear “REO\Bank Owned Buyers are Liars”. Ready for the truth? They aren’t lying so much as they aren’t telling you the whole story. I know you might be thinking that is the same thing but stay with me here for a minute. REO Buyers are primarily looking for one and only one thing: The greatest deal that they are ever going to get in their lives! Just about every buyer who is interested in buying... 

That’s right I don’t care if you were a Top Producer and I don’t care what you sold last year. The reason is you can’t use that to sell homes this year. Just because something worked last year doesn’t mean it is going to work this year. By the way I don’t even know what a Top Producer is anyway so get over what this means and just start getting back to business. Why am I saying this? Well my brother and I have been doing a few training seminars on “12 ways... 

15 minutes is quite a bit of time if you really think about it. In fact you can cover a number of topics if you stay on top of it and just kind of hammer through things. How about learning what is happening on the Internet and what you actually need to care about? Let’s face it with so much information on the Internet there are tons of things you can read, comment on, or listen to. We are going to put together 15 minutes on topics that you need to focus on simply because they will affect you. This...
