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.

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.

The internet drives business these days, especially the real estate market. Clients from all over the country, and even around the world, can go online and seek out properties that may interest them. While this can alleviate a number of concerns for real estate agents, it demands that they focus on search engine optimisation strategies in order to be found by prospective clients.

The days of flipping through the phone book to find what you need are in the past. Today, information is driven by search engines. In fact, 90% of all websites are found through search engines.
