“Real Pro Systems is my most valuable lead generation tool"

by Charlee Jacobs

Real Pro Systems is my most valuable lead generation tool.   The ‘back office’ drip campaigns never cease to amaze me.  I continiously receive emails from prospects of whom I have never met that are responding back to me to give an update on their house buying/selling situation.  The website templates that Real Pro provides (CMA, home buyers and main domain page) are very clean, to the point and user friendly.  Month after month, my number one lead source is Real Pro Systems through the CMA campaign.  I am excited about the possibilities and the future revenue from my newly purchased short sale site.

Thanks again Kristi, Charlee and the rest of the awesome RPS staff!”

ProLeads does it again.

by Charlee Jacobs
Hi Charlee,
" I am very pleased with my Real Pro system. The Real Pro staff are very helpful and easy to work with. I especially like the pay-for-clicks option that delivers Buyer leads to me. I closed 4 Real Pro Buyer sales during the past 12 months, or approximately 1% of the leads.  I increased my "click" budget recently to attract more Buyers, and cut back on print advertising that is less cost effective. This spring I wrote contract offers to purchase million dollar homes for two Real Pro Buyers, but the Sellers would not come down enough in price. These  investor clients and many others are patiently waiting for prices to reach bottom."

Sorting Through the Maze of Online Marketing Tools Webinar

by Charlee Jacobs

Real Pro System's General Manager, Caine O'Brien, hosted a "webinar," entitled "Sorting Through the Maze of Online Marketing Technology" for Star Power clients last Tuesday. The response was terrific. We had many requests for the "technology pyramid" so here's a link to download a copy.

    "Excellent stuff! Can I get a copy of the presentation for use as an action plan?"

    "Good session! Caine is a very knowledgeable and easy to listen to presenter. It is a nice little reminder for keeping us on track."

    "Everyone should have been on online; what a great topic. Are you going to make this seminar available online to re-watch?"

Would you like to see the recorded webinar? Give me a call and I can send you a link. Please leave any comments, below.

Success With Real Pro Silver

by Charlee Jacobs

I switched from my Advanced Access website to a Real Pro Silver website about 10 months ago. I was very attracted to the drip campaign it offered  and have been very pleased with how much response I get from an automatic system that I only have to tend minimally. In the past 10 months I’ve signed 3 buyers that I did not have before and am in email communication with many more. This is not an overnight success system but the consistency of the drip system is very effective. I’ve been congratulated more than once for doing such a good job at staying in touch when other brokers don’t. I use other internet based systems like Realtor.com, etc. but have had the most success with my Real Pro site.  Thanks for the great site and service!

Best Wishes, C. Lopez ABR, CRS

Going Green

by Charlee Jacobs

I just love the idea of "going green." Living in the North West, we are especially environmentally conscious. I just read in the local newspaper's real estate section that there are some easy tips you can follow up make your home a little greener.

1. Use the dishwasher. It can save up to 5000 gallons of water per year. I bet if it is an energy efficient one, you can save on the electric bill too.

2. Clean the dust that piles up on the back of refrigerator coils on a regular basis.

3. Instead of using conventional household cleaners in the kitchen and bathroom, use vinegar and water. They don't contain nasty chemicals that are harmful to the environment.

4. Clean air-conditioners often. This increases efficiency, saving 350 lbs of carbon dioxide from escaping into the air per year.

5. Use candles made from soy or beeswax instead of paraffin, which emits sooty particles.

Village Maker Launch

by Charlee Jacobs

We just got back from Launching our new "social networking" system called Village Maker. Village Maker is the latest addition Real Pro Systemsproduct line.

For many years Real Pro Systems has helped agents build their business by capturing and cultivating leads. The next logical step is keeping in constant contact with those past clients. VillageMaker accomplishes just that. It offers a medium to build even deeper relationships with your clients as well as gain subtle introduction to their friends and family. By building your sphere of influence your referral base will grow.

How does it work?  Well, here is just one example. After you close on a home you can gift your client their very own website that has the photos and details for their new home (you can go back through your past clients and give them a site too). Not only will they share the purchase of their new home with their friends and family, but they will also want to continue to use their site to share other fun and important events that happen in their lives.  

The benefit for you (the agent) is that you are the sponsor of this local network and your branding will appear (subtly) at the bottom of all your client's posts. When friends and family of your clients visit your members site, you are gaining a subtle endorsement as the agent of choice to buy a home through. You are also staying "top of mind" with your clients as they are always logging in to use site you gifted them.
