Use FriendFeed to Find a Ton of Clients
Username: MVolkin, connnect with me on FriendFeed.com!
FriendFeed.com is a website that in one place aggregates your friend's (or potential cleints's) streams from across different social sites. In other words, from one user, you can view real-time updates from Twitter posts, Facebook updates and tons of other websites. FriendFeed can be an extremely useful website for getting to know your local community and marketing to clients, but be careful of its addictive nature. FriendFeed can easily give you information overload and you could get lost for hours clicking away at the vast amount … (2 comments)

Fwix.com has great potential for real estate agents and brokers
One of the great aspects of owning a real estate franchise is that I get contacted early with new online tools that could help real estate agents and brokers. One of those new tools is Fwix.com. Fwix is an online replacement for a newspaper. Our realty franchise focuses on going green and Fwix definately fits that mold. An agent can be connected to his/her local community and even share a neat widget on their website with local news without printing a single piece of paper.

real estate franchises for sale: Real Estate Franchise- A Brokers Salvation? - 08/02/09 07:11 PM
Real Estate Franchise- A Brokers Salvation?
When the economy was good, many independent real estate brokers made a lot of money and established themselves well in the local community. For the most part it was easy, the houses were selling themselves and all a broker needed to do was get a license and get agents. Now, the economy isn't good and some brokers are scratching their heads trying to build their brokerage instead of close the doors.
This is when a quality real estate franchise is needed. A realty franchise can provide new, or established brokers, with the financial support, recruiting … (0 comments)

real estate franchises for sale: Use My 4/12/3 Technique to Get More Clients - 07/31/09 09:49 AM
A large part of social networking is the grouping of individuals into a particular group of interest. People join websites like Facebook and MySpace to find people of similar interests. All social networking websites allow users to connect to each other via buttons and groups. The more friends you have on these websites, the bigger your network is.
I finished an experiment a few months ago which proved beneficial to my real estate business. My first goal was to make over 100 friends a week. The concept here was the more friends I had the bigger my network and the more … (1 comments)

As the owner of the most innovative real estate franchise in the county, Area Pro Realty, I put the finishing touches on our technology program we call click-blast. With this technology our agents can blast their listing (without duplicate entry) to dozens of the most heavily trafficked real estate websites on the Internet. I tested it out on one of our office listings last week. It took me about 12 minutes to enter all the information about the listing and then I clicked the "blast" button. Within 5 hours, I recieved 4 offers. One was all cash for more than the asking price. We close … (0 comments)

real estate franchises for sale: The Power of Franchising - 07/16/09 09:27 AM
Let me say a brief word about the power of being with a franchised real estate company.
As the owner of Area Pro Realty, I frequently am in communication with vendors to increase benefits to my agnets and brokers. The other day I was negotiating with a vendor on a benefit that would be great for our agents. The negotiations weren't going anywhere until I mentioned that the company was licensed in 44 states across america. Suddenly, I was in the drivers seat and could pretty much name my own price for this benefit (which I did). Now, our agents have access to a benefit … (0 comments)

Real estate brokers, I know there are many real estate franchises available, believe me, I see and hear about them daily. As the owner of Area Pro Realty, an innovative real estate franchise, I could talk all day about how we are truly different than the other franchisors. However, potential franchisees (brokers) have the same concerns about each franchise. Namely, how much does it cost?
I can definately appreciate brokers having this concern as I have seen more than a few franchises offering real estate franchises for sale for over $100,000. The fact is, you have to eat the dinner before … (0 comments)

real estate franchises for sale: The Power of Franchising - 07/04/09 02:59 PM
In today's economy, franchising might be the way to go for many independent brokers. Joining an innovative real estate franchise (like Area Pro Realty) can boost the production and credibility value of many brokerage offices.

The real estate franchises available today are vast, and a broker must thoroughly research all of them to find … (0 comments)

real estate franchises for sale: The Cost of Franchising-The "Dreaded" Royalty - 07/02/09 09:20 AM
An innovative real estate franchise shouldn't implement the typical precentage of royalty charges to their franchisees (in the real estate industry the standard is 6%). Of the dozens of real estate franchises available, I would estimate about 90% of them offer this type of royalty structure. Perhaps by a lack of imagination or a desire to blend in, these companies all follow suit of each other. Area Pro Realty has instituted a unique royalty system. Instead of charging a large percentage of a franchisees royalty, we have instituted a system where franchisees only pay an amount per agent per month. Therefore, the … (0 comments)
