Who has got time for all this Social Networking and Blogging Stuff?

How do you have time to sell Real Estate …

… and spend time on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and all the other Social Networking sites?

Why is this important? Consider this fact:

25% of pages viewed in the US are Facebook pages

So, yeah – you need to find the time, but how?

We get this question from 99.9% of the Realtors we speak with and the answer is simple, Balance and Priority!

Yes, all of this social networking can be time consuming and slightly addictive; however, it can also be very effective and profitable if done smart!

The real problem we are noticing is that to many Realtors are a team of only one.

Look around your market, the most successful Realtors have a talented team around them: transaction coordinator, assistant, other agents, escrow & title reps, lenders, etc…

The Realtors who are dominating online also have one or more talented tech savvy people on their team.

So what does your real estate team look like?

When Peter and I set this site up we understood there was a need for accurate, unbiased information along with easy to follow instructions for Realtors to navigate the world of ever changing technology, including social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Blogging.

What we didn’t realize …

Realtors across the country are telling us that they need more time.  Well we know more time isn’t the solution, this is just an excuse.

I believe your solution is … a better team!

One distinct advantage of being on a team is that you get to focus on what you actually enjoy doing.

Since none of us get more time, we have developed a 12-week program to partner with talented agents who want to get up to speed and dominate their market.

During this 12-week program Peter and I will partner with the you to design and implement a complete online and offline marketing strategy to help you close more transactions with clients who want to work with you.

So ask yourself – if you could add any one team member, what value would he/she add to your business?

Places on this course will be limited – place yourself on the advanced priority list – fill in the form!

Hi Drew, loved your post and completely agree with your point that it's not about finding the time but having the right team.  I have noticed that the agents who partner with people who have strengths in marketing, websites, adminstrative tasks are far more successful in getting things done, getting new listings and involved in the community both online and offline – so much can be said for working with the right people so you can focus on doing what you do best and using your RE license for the right stuff – selling homes :)    Hope you get some great response to your 12 week program.
