Are You Running Your Business Like A Business? Step 3: Database Management
Would you agree that real estate is too difficult a career to have to start over every day? Imagine if when you woke up in the morning, settled in, opened up your email and checked your voicemail to find you had five potential customers before 10AM? This is more easily accomplished than you think. With some diligence and a little determination, you can build a database of people who keep you in steady earnings, without having to call a single FSBO, ever! We all have people. We used to keep them in our address book, but now we carry them with us in our smart phones. Each phone maker has software available for free that will allow you to upload your contacts into a computer and store it in different programs to do things with the data. When this is in place, you need only devise a system of capturing and keeping a new contacts information to add it. We can then create a system of information to go to your contacts via a variety of ways that we completely automate. Systemizing the contact with your sphere frees up your time so that you can chase business less and earn more. All that's left to do is enjoy the benefits.
This is just one of the few strategies we help you implement to be your most successful. Yes, it's true! Real Estate One, operating solely in the state of Michigan is ranked #9 in the entire nation for number of transactions in 2010 - #1 in the state - and #1 in the region by a margin of 3 times the number of transactions closed by our closest competitor. We are also one of only five companies, nationwide, who's agent's average income increased. It's because we provide the right tools and show you how to earn with them.
If you don't remotely know how or where to begin with implementing any of this, come work with us. We already have a system that does it all for you! Including our new - 1st To Know Mobile Text and Email. This allows the consumer to text the address of any active listing, no matter who the broker, and be sent the entire listing information on their mobile device. Contact us to learn more.

Be the best source for Buyers & Sellers - Your Customers should be the "1st To Know"!
-
Imagine in this instant gratification society, being able to provide your home buyer or seller immediate information. Would they be more likely to work with you and remain loyal, because you could provide them access that no other broker offers. That is - 1st To Know. Customers can customize a home search to immediately be informed of properties that enter the market matching their criteria or current listing and you receive instant feedback on the ones they like - buyer lead. In the case of a seller, this often results in a call to reduce their listing price to remain competitive. Your buyers or sellers will have access to text the address of any listed property they happen upon (no matter which broker has it listed) and get real time and complete information about that home delivered via their smart phone. No listings found in the area you want to live, your buyer can simply text any address in that neighborhood and they will be sent a link to the 5 closest listed properties.

The 500 largest real estate brokerages in the country completed 6.7 percent fewer transaction sides in 2010 than in 2009, according to rankings from real estate publishing and communications company Real Trends.
Real Trends ranks the country's 500 largest brokerages each year by transaction sides (in every real estate sale there are two transaction "sides": the buyer's side and the seller's side) and closed sales volume.
Transaction sides among the 500 fell to 1.89 million in 2010 from 2.02 million in 2009. Total sales volume rose 1.3 percent, to $513 billion. The average home price among the 500 rose 7.4 percent last year from 2009, to $271,278.
The rise in sales volume was sharper among the top 25 firms: a 4.5 percent increase, to $247.7 billion.
The top five brokerages in both transaction sides and sales volume remained unchanged from last year. For transaction sides, NRT LLC was at the top, followed by HomeServices of America Inc., The Long & Foster Companies Inc., Hanna Holdings Inc., and ZipRealty Inc.
Each closed fewer transaction sides in 2010 than in 2009. NRT closed 259,114 sides, down 5.5 percent from 2009; HomeServices of America closed 114,070 sides, down 7.9 percent; Long & Foster closed 65,284 sides, down 6.6 percent; Hanna Holdings closed 30,493 sides, down 4 percent; and ZipRealty closed 22,013 sides, down 4.7 percent.
Eight of the top 25 brokerages saw their completed transaction sides rise in 2010: Real Estate One (up 2.4 percent); Baird & Warner (4.6 percent); Realty One Group Inc. (35.1 percent); Prudential Douglas Elliman Real Estate (16.3 percent); Re/Max Results (3.5 percent); Keller Williams Realty (0.8 percent); Watson Realty Corp. (2.7 percent); and William Raveis Real Estate Inc. (6.1 percent).
Sales volume rose in 18 out of 25 brokerages in 2010. Among the top five, NRT saw its sales volume increase 5.4 percent to $112.9 billion. Volume at HomeServices of America fell 3.4 percent to $33.8 billion, while at Long & Foster it fell 3.8 percent to $22.9 billion. Prudential Douglas Elliman saw its volume rise 33.5 percent, to $11.5 billion, while at Prudential Fox & Roach REALTORS® it rose 1.9 percent, to $7 billion.
There were a few newcomers to the top 25 rankings this year. A 35.1 percent increase in closed transaction sides in 2010 pushed Realty One Group Inc. to No. 13 from its No. 26 showing in last year's list. William Raveis Real Estate Inc. rose from No. 29 to No. 23, with a 6.1 percent rise in closed transaction sides. Despite a 0.2 percent dip in transaction sides, First Team Real Estate rose to No. 24 from No. 28.
A 37.3 percent jump in sales volume in 2010 pushed Houlihan Lawrence up to No. 15 from No. 26. First Weber Group rose to No. 25 from No. 32, with a 24.4 percent rise in sales volume.
