An Introduction to the Real Estate Industry
In this course, we’ll give you an in-depth overview of the real estate industry including the roles of the agent, the broker and the assistant and will also provide you with a look at the many services you can provide real estate professionals. We’ll also discuss setting your general rates for working with real estate professionals and some of the ways you can gain real estate clients.
Real Estate Risk Management
Ensure you know your obligations and what you can and cannot do as an unlicensed assistant. Real estate is a heavily regulated industry all across North America. Learn the legalities as they apply to you as an unlicensed assistant and ensure you lead your business informed and ethically sound.
Identity and Branding
Gone are the days when a photograph of an agent on a business card or billboard were effective means of promotion. With the deluge of advertising everyone sees on a daily basis on TV, flyers, the newspaper, billboards, magazines, as well as the Internet, your realtors needs a memorable visual, along with a memorable ‘hook’, perhaps a slogan or trademark. Learn to develop the look and feel for your realtor’s brand to ensure they stand out from their competitors.
Real Estate and Technology
In this module, we’ll talk about the increasing importance of technology in the real estate business, providing an overview of some of the more important and popular systems and programs available and how they’re successfully applied to streamline and promote the real estate professional.
Direct Marketing, FSBOs, Expireds and Farms
Despite the popularity of the Internet, print marketing still remains a vital ingredient in a realtor’s success toolbox. We’ll examine how to determine and develop a farm area using flyers, print newsletters and postcard marketing to reach a desired target market. We’ll also show you some of the more effective techniques used to generate leads for your realtors from the creation and management of a stealth webpage, to open house sign-up programs, to expired and for sale by owner tactics, to free new home buyer or investor seminars.
*NEW* Social Media for Real Estate
Social media is a critical key marketing tactic for local recognition and expert status. In this course, we’ll cover the ‘big 3′ – Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, and how you can introduce the agent to their importance. We’ll teach you how to set up profiles for each of these sites, as well as Facebook Pages, gaining followers, connections and friends, and how to make the most of each account.
Lead Management
In this module, we’ll show you how to manage the contacts you’ve helped your agent generate using the ever-popular Top Producer program to enter the leads, apply appropriate categories, and then to create comprehensive follow-up plans to give your realtor every opportunity to convert these leads into clients.
Listing Coordination
Here, we’ll really get down to brass tacks. We’ll teach you all that’s involved in listing coordination – from pre-listing to close. Learn how to create listing and pre-listing packages, CMAs, property flyers, layouts for print advertising, and entering a listing into an MLS system, Top Producer, Homefeedback, and more!
Transaction Coordination
There are a myriad of details involved in the closing of a real estate property. Learn how to create an action plan and checklist to ensure all i’s are dotted and t’s are crossed. We’ll provide an overview of SettlementRoom, a popular online transaction management system, and explain the process from the acceptance of an offer to the exchange of keys.
Program Delivery
The program is delivered through a combination of home study, audio lessons, hands-on assignments, and online testing. Once your investment is complete, you will receive access details to participate in our online resource center, and your order will be placed with our printing house and the binder and audio CD will be shipped to you promptly.
