internet marketing: If you are not selling 15-50 homes per year using the Internet, we need to talk! - 01/25/11 08:09 PM
As most of you know, I spend my life working on Internet Marketing and Lead Conversion for Real Estate. Our brokerage had another great year selling 329 homes with 14 Agents with over 95% of our sales coming from our Internet program. It's been 9 years now since I started using the Internet after becoming a Realtor on Sept. 10, 2001. Over these 9 years I have figured out how to capture tons of leads and how to turn them into sales. The problem for all my fellow Realtors is all these vendors trying to sell you leads or other Internet

internet marketing: A must read for new Agents and Agents that are stuck! - 02/27/10 02:27 PM
Getting started is a challenge if you pick the wrong office. When I first started I was told the office I was joining did no training. The only thing my broker said was "follow up, follow up, follow up". Today, that is still the best advice I received in this business. So how do you get started? I could go on and on with different things you can do, but I will just take a minute and give you a little advice which will save you time and money.1. It's a business. If you don't run it like a business you will

internet marketing: Training - Is it over rated? - 11/18/08 07:24 AM
I was thinking about this when I woke up this morning. I spend most of my day training Agents. The eHomes Realty Network is housed in the same office as my Tropical Realty Brokerage. On any typical morning I have an Agent or two in my office asking me questions about marketing or how to deal with a customer about this issue or that issue. Then, usually by 10am I receive a phone call from a potential member who is looking for advice on why his website isn't getting any leads. After that is a website evaluation, several emails or phone

internet marketing: I'm an expert at Internet Marketing and Lead Conversion, but I need your help with getting Seller Leads! - 11/17/08 07:55 PM
I'm always curious to see what people are doing differently than I do to prospect. As most of you know, I teach my 100MPH Marketing System to generate leads and turn them into customers for life. This blog is really not about that. It's more about what you do to generate business in addition to your Internet Marketing. Currently we are looking at adding listings to our business plan. Over the past few years listings were NOT where you wanted to be. They were all over priced and sat on the market forever. I made a business decision to stay away

internet marketing: Thank you to Unchained for allowing me to teach them Pay Per Click, Lead Capture and Lead Conversion - 11/11/08 08:02 PM
This past Friday in Orlando, the Bloodhound Blog group got together for their 2nd Unchained event. In the morning we learned about blogging from such excellent bloggers as Brian Brady and Teri Lussier. After lunch Kelly Koehler talked about pay per click and the showed us how she analyzes Google to get the most for her money when buying her pay per click. I went on around 1pm to speak about pay per click, lead capture and lead conversion. There were only a few points I needed to make with Pay Per Click since Kelly did such and awesome job. I spent

internet marketing: How much does it cost to have a successful Internet program? - 10/15/08 10:57 PM
One of my potential members of The eHomes Realty Network asked me this question today and I thought it was something I should share on here for my fellow Active Rain members. I get this question asked a lot! So how do we even figure this out? First we must look at what you need to create a successful Internet program. Here is the break down of what I use for our very successful Internet program. Website - I'm a big believer in templated websites. There are many companies out there where you can get a site for under $50. We will

internet marketing: How do you think outside the box if you don't know how? - 10/12/08 10:27 AM
I get this question on a regular basis. If you think about it, if you don't know how to change the oil in the car, it's understandable that you can't change the oil unless less you get some direction. It's the same with thinking outside the box. I've been blessed with a creative problem solving mind. Thinking outside the box is just the way my mind is wired. I'm not any different than anyone else, some people are good singers, some are good athletes, I was blessed with outside the box genes! My father was a manufacturing consultant and his job

internet marketing: Today is the first day of your Real Estate Career! - 10/05/08 11:25 PM
So here it is, you finally got your license and decided to jump in full time. You found a brokerage that seems pretty good and the Broker seems great! They don't really have a training program, but you figure, how hard could it be. I've bought and sold a few times...Realtors don't do too much! Then you sit and wonder what to do next. Your phone isn't ringing...why? Did you write a business plan prior to starting your business? Did you write a marketing plan? Did you budget advertising dollars per month while you get started? Have you checked into New

internet marketing: Are you afraid of the Internet? You shouldn't be! - 09/20/08 08:08 AM
I ask that question because I have been talking to a lot of Realtors lately who really are afraid to make the investment in their business by using the Internet. Sure, many of them are on Activerain but that's about as far as their Internet expertise goes. As most of you know, I own The eHomes Realty Network. I have spent the last almost 7 years creating Internet programs that work. This year we should hit over 250 sales from our Internet programs. The reason I'm telling you this is that the sales are there for the asking. As much as

internet marketing: Did Einsten also know realtors? - 09/14/08 02:01 PM
Einstein once said 'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.' What a great statement that is so true with so many Realtors that I meet or talk to on the phone. I believe this says it all don't you? I learned a long time ago that if you aren't successful doing what you are doing, then change what you are doing! You would think that is a no brainer, but so many Agents continue to be mediocre in their business because they choose or don't know how to change what they

internet marketing: Survey about Internet Programs - I'm learning more ways to help Agents - 09/03/08 04:19 AM
Hi Everyone! As most you know, I own and operate The eHomes Realty Network. Since my launch two weeks ago the membership has been growing steadily and I'm helping a lot of Agents probably just like you! Currently I'm in Viriginia training a small group. This is probably my favorite part of my job, helping small to mid sized groups of Agents "get it". Usually by the time I'm done most of the Agents will realize they have been missing out on a lot of sales! I have put a survey on my site that will help me to understand the

internet marketing: Have you mastered Internet Lead Conversion? - 08/27/08 08:47 PM
It's been a busy night for The eHomes Realty Network. I have received 4 new members and counting tonight which is awesome! I am so happy I have so many people that believe in me and what I teach. It's very rewarding. I find nothing more exciting to me than helping Agents and Brokers take their business to the Next Level. It seems the most asked question I get from my members is "How do I convert a lead to a sale?". Of course the first thing I tell them to do is to read our 100MPH Marketing System Manual. All

internet marketing: Are you in Business or are you just a Realtor? - 08/17/08 08:17 PM
As most of you know, I started the eHomes Realty Network (www.eHomesRealtyNetwork.com) this past weekend. To say the least it has been an excellent start with a bunch of new members our first weekend! I'm very excited. I wanted to share a call I got from one of my new members yesterday. It was a great call and I think it really says alot about the mindset of Realtors, well at least most Realtors that I have met. She told me how she had been doing business the past few years and it just hasn't been working out the way it was

internet marketing: I don't sell you, I help you! - 08/16/08 10:09 PM
This has been my slogan since I started in business over 25 years ago...hmmm actually almost 30 years ago! I have lived by this message which is why I have had such a great response to my new company, The eHomes Realty Network. One of the biggest issues I see with most people either in business for themselves but doing it wrong and others that just aren't willing to take the risk is their lack of willingness to change. One of my manuals, which I have decided to post it on my site, I usually give this to my new Agents when I hire
