Since I was a kid, or as long as I can recall, I followed the airline and oil business because I was interested in the way they worked.  Those dynamics are not any different than any other business I learned as I grew older.  Eventually, the bastion of profitability wait on the many efficiencies software developers invented to fill a specific need. Airlines eliminated travel agents by bringing the ticket directly to you via software.  When was the last time you called a travel agent for a round trip ticket to Orange County?

The successful real estate agent today needs a systematic solution-based program that functions as the central nervous system of the marketing, sales and communication process.  To make selections of tasks based on data that is already uploaded for multipurpose uses is increasingly the central need and more agents are demanding that kind of power in real estate specific applications.  The trend turned movement and there is no sign of slowing down.

Every broker and associate in our company should make assessment of this business dynamic and how it can positively impact your bottom line.  I’m grateful to work with talented people that craft and create these types of applications for your benefit.  Sometimes we forget what we have invested in and we just need reminding.  We have easy to use tools for you to compete in the new world and the additional advantage you have is access to millions of dollars in software for a sub-fraction of the cost.

If you’re wondering why some of the associates you know are doing more business, chances are they are involved in these online systems.  They take advantage of online video training, integrated applications and web driven tools that are easy to use and make practical sense.  So, do yourself a favor and log on or call the corporate office and ask what we offer.  You’ll be amazed.

Reaping The Benefits By Engaging With Local Trade Groups

Many today are caught up in this new social structure which makes it possible to open communication between individuals, groups, or even organizations.  Generally, there is a common interest or shared value between those who open up this line of communication whether it be through a blog site, Q & A, or a social networking site such as FaceBook, Trulia, or ActiveRain (just to name a few). A whole new language lies within this social networking such as nodes, or ‘the social capital,’ and the list goes on.

This new relationship building base has evolved from years of people wanting to develop common ground between each other. More than likely the text books from my old Sociology Courses in college are being completely rewritten, if not revamping the entire course, to meet this new format of ‘sociology,’ especially at the rapid pace that social networks are advancing.

Within the Realty World system, not only are we moving our members beyond what they ever imagined in social networking, but we have other very high-powered programs for our members to build stronger business models for themselves. One of the most powerful programs to engage in is our local Trade Groups. As it states in the Operating Rules of the Trade Groups, the intention of the Trade Group is “to take advantage of Realty World synergism by pooling ideas, resources, and training activities for the purpose of solving common problems and promoting common benefits among the members of the group.”

In the same realm of the Realty World social networking initiatives, the Realty World Trade Groups are going to move to a new level under a new format that includes agents in the meeting, training, more in depth networking, and yes, the building of stronger relationships not only between the members but the common communities they serve.  We invite everyone to find a new commitment and become a part of their local Trade Group.
