Treat Your Business Like a Business

Rev Realtors — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 18:03:29 -0600

Treat Your Business Like a Business

A common mistake that new Realtors and even Realtors who have been in the business for a long time is they don't treat their business like a business. Real Estate allows you freedom and a wonderful lifestyle, but you better take the business part seriously.

This business will be great to you and spoil you rotten if you respect and treat it accordingly. New agents, if you are struggling and wondering why you arent' getting that listing and cant get that offer accepted, don't get discouraged but question what you can change to succeeed.

Einstein once said:

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different outcomes."

If you are doing something and nothing is coming of it. Stop! Throw another dart at the board. Farming is alot of doing the same things and it takes a while for you too gain ground and get responses, but if you have been sending out the same tired calenders and notepads for the last year and it hasn't netted you anything, its time to stop.

There are plenty of fresh ideas out there, you just have to find that right one(or some) that stick. Then when you are generateing leads and converting them, you know you can repeat that process and expect the same outcome!

Hope this helps! if you are having trouble and want to learn more about Rev. Send us a message.

How the Real Estate Bust has and Will Change Brokerages

Rev Realtors — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 12:42:32 -0600

How the Real Estate Bust Has and Will Change Brokerages

For all the harm that the real estate crisis has caused, alot of good is going to come out of it. What this crisis has done more than anything, is make people think very carefully about the real estate industry as a whole; from the buyers and sellers, to the Realtors and Brokerages, to lenders and appraisers.

No one will contest that in the height of the real estate boom, professionals were giving out advice that they shouldn't have given and their brokers were not much better either. But at the same time, buyers and sellers did not do their homework as well. The professionals who sold them their homes, and sold them their mortgages, were simply doing their job. Thats not going to chang in the future.Broekrs and Realtors are going to do their jobs as the market dictates.

What is going to change is the way in which we relate and communicate to our clients. The way Realtors approach their clients and the way Brokers approach thier Realtors is going to change. An open forum is going to erupt. To where transparency is going to rule. In turn its going to lead to a far more profitable and accountable business in the future.

To attain this goal "Options" must be in place for all. From Brokers all the way down to the buyers and sellers, Realtors are going to have to give their clients more options and Brokers are going to have to give their agents more options. The reason we need options is the business model for traditional brokerages and traditional sales is stale. It was over-worked and out-played the last 10 or so years. With the advancements in technology and the ease in which communication is transforming, business models from top to bottom are going to have to change. The cliche "out with the old and in with the new" is a cliche for a reason. Cliche's exist because it has shown it truth throughout history.

Does it mean the big, dominant brokerages are going to disappear? Of course not. However, new emerging brokerages with fresh models are going to gain market share and force these giants to re-think their strategies. In all it will transform the industry for the better!

Innovation is going to be key, automation is going to be key, and options are going to be key.

Rev is enacting these principles to help move the industry in to a better place.

Very best in your quest,

Rev Management Team

Investing in a Real Estate Website

Rev Realtors — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 12:07:40 -0600

Investing in a Real Estate Website

WHether you are an experienced agent ot a newly licensed agent, the time will come to promote yourself on the web, via website, blog, etc. WHen you do so there is one question you need to ask yourself. What is my goal?

ALot of agents build a fancy website with snazzy flash photos, search portals to the MLS and tips for buyers and sellers. If your goal is to give out free information and not receive anything in return then thats is the site for you. If you are trying to convert views to leas then you have to drastically re-think you plan.

One thing to consider is Search Engine Optimization and bringing value to each and every visitor to your site.

Stay Tuned for tips on how to obtain this.

Benefit From Being Mobile!

Rev Realtors — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 18:25:44 -0600

Benefit From Being Mobile

One way the business of Real Estate is transforming is through the idea of mobility. Mobility, according to the dictionary means, changeable or changing easily in expression, mood or purpose. More importantly, being mobile allows for drastic lifestyle changes and lifestyle upgrades.

Traditional business has been done by sitting in a office, at a desk, or other stationary positions and waiting for life to call on the telephone or walk through the door. Live your life and do business in between.

Our philosophy is stay mobile. Motion creates opportunity. Opportunity creates leads. Leads create sales. Sales creates money. Money creates lifestyle. Rev Realtors purpose is lifestyle driven and not monetary based. We want our agents to succeed monetarily while maintaining a lifestyle pertinent to their desires.

Let Rev Realtors show you how to achieve this.

Why is the Success Rate Lower for New Realtors than in any other beginning profession?

Rev Realtors — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 16:36:58 -0600

Why is the Success Rate Lower for New Realtors than in any other beginning profession?

It is well documented that the rate of success for Realtors new to the business is very low. Is it because real Estate has is cursed? Is it because there is a secret elite in the Real Estate community that control the local markets?

The answer is, of course, NO! However, what is interesting about the Real Estate business is leveraging money and initial investments is of crucial importance. While some agents can take upwards of 6 monthe to a year to close their first sale, they are instantly hit with desk fees, insurance fees, tech fees, marketing fees, website fees, etc. These are all fees associated with their brokerage of choice.

So, logically an answer to this is to cut all brokerage fees for Realtors, and allow them to use that money to establish efficient and effective marketing plans, participate in accelerated production classes and learn the ins and outs of the business before breaking their pockets.

Further, when you you do finally get your big sale, be able to keep the most possible for your experience becuase sometimes it takes a while for your next sale. The secret of this business in longevity, we have said it before and we will continue to say it. The longer to stay in the busines, the more opportunities will arise and you will be able to survive the financial aspects of running you own business long enought to succeed.

At Rev Realtors, our approach to helping you develop your business is unmatched. No othe rbrokerage offers the training and the insight that we do to help you leverage your time inthis business. Rev Realtors offers teh highest commission structure, lowest fees, and your best opportunity for success in this busiiness.

At Rev we encourage to, better off, challenge you to see what we are about!

Best regards,

Rev Realtors — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 18:17:35 -0500

It is about time that Real Estate had an innovation that touched a very important class of people, Realtors. REV is the product of 6+ years of Real Estate sales, experience, vision and action. REV is created to provide an environment and structure that will compensate and educate Realtors the way no other California brokerage has done before.

NO WASTE

The foundation of REV is built upon a "no waste" attitude. Real Estate is in the midst of a massive consolidation at the Brokerage level and Realtor level, and the world is in a massive consolidation effort in every facet of their lives because of a struggling economy. It is time to help Realtors profit more, promote themselves more, and take advantage of mobile technologies to better their careers and lives.

New Technologies

We are in a very exciting time in history. Technological advances are enabling us to work more efficient and environmentally responsible than ever before that reason, REV is developing revolutionary technologies that will enhance the way Realtors do business. At the same time, REV's business model will provide Realtors with the most efficient way to be profitable in the Real Estate business, while becoming the first Real Estate brokerage to be truly, "green".

Personal Attention

REV does not and will not strive to be a corporate environment. REV will be the largest privately held brokerage in California, maintaing an atmosphere dedicated to serving Realtors only!
