| Bundled Packages | The Short Story About Us | The House Diva Program |
On April 24th, 2007 we negotiated an exclusive supplier agreement for our members and Brenda Paul, "The House Diva." Brenda offers her personalized home staging services to agents in the St. Catharines, Ontario area. She has had her own TV show where she showcased the art of staging, or "primping" as she puts it, homes for sale on national TV. Recently Brenda opened up a remote staging service for out-of-town agents and was looking for an in into this market. That's where we came to the forefront of the conversation. We have been growing our own membership by 5 to 10 new members each week since January 2007 and we offer some nice benefits to a supplier like Brenda Paul. Today we can announce a win - win - win business relationship with Brenda Paul and our exclusive members. As you will see, your clients will win, you will win and we will win too. Our agreement in bullet points is as follows:
Brenda Paul, "The House Diva" - Sample Ads to Display on Your Web sites
First and foremost, we are a real estate agent referral web site. Our members are assigned to their respective exclusive trading area and have committed to providing at minimum of two real estate referrals, to the best of their ability, every 12 months. Our members are able to quickly drill down and locate a fellow agent who shares some common interests with them. Every member of the site has had a telephone interview prior to joining. Most of these chats have a happy ending but there have been a few people, a very small percentage, that were not asked to be part of our membership. You see, we want genuinely nice people, who are team players and willing to do their part by providing a minimum of two referrals every 12 months to the general membership. Every one of our members has another thing in common, they are all very concerned that the people who they are referring are looked after because their contacts are very important to them. Just like you, when you have referred clients in the past you worry a bit and you hope that you won't hear any horror stories. Over the past few months we have added other great tools for real estate agents. Some of which include:
There are many competitive sites out there that offer similar services and there is a wide range of prices that they charge. We have made our site affordable (click here to see pricing), we offer exclusive areas, provide marketing tools and other exclusive benefits to help you make more money. What is asked in return is that you do your part and take care of the clients that are referred to you and refer two clients yourself every 12 months. We could easily charge more for membership but, our feeling is, if we will continue to give our members lots and lots of value, we will be worth keeping and our members will perform at their highest level to meet their membership commitment and maintain their exclusive membership position, year after year. For us, our job is easier because this good news about our site is spreading faster every day. We are able to keep our recruiting costs in line and we pass these savings to our members, which is why we are so affordable. You have no idea of how many people plan to contact us right away and get side tracked. Almost every day someone finds out that the area they were interested in has been secured by another agent already. We return emails in the order that they have been received. Telephone calls that are made to us tell us that you are willing to take action and want to be ahead of the pack. Call us now at 604-467-0754 between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm Pacific Standard Time. Telephone calls are given higher priority and, quite often, these people are the ones that secure their exclusive area. If you want to think about it for a while, you have to know we are working hard to position an agent in your area right now. To get a piece of the action you have to take some action. As of May 4th, 2007 we have over 100 members from British Columbia to Ontario. There are from 5 to 10 new and qualified agents added each week and referrals are being shared between our members every day. We have started to market to Quebec and will complete the Atlantic Provinces in a few weeks. Then our marketing efforts will focus on the USA. Our goal is to have well over 500 members in Canada and the USA by September 2008. If this is a fit for you, it would be a shame if you were thinking about it and missed out on this ground floor opportunity to earn more money in real estate. Return to the TOP of this page. You can't see this, but it's there.This web site has been designed by Gord Moman, a Certified Web Developer. It is optimized for high rankings on the web search engines. Gord is a search engine optimization specialist and continually monitors the sites performance and utilizes a proven system that ensures a good web presence and, most important, a conduit of traffic to our members main web site. On a regular basis, this site is linked into the "primary databases" of all of the major high-traffic search engines and directories. We submit and register the web site into the key areas that cause it to be found in hundreds of additional search engines and directories that HAVE PROVEN TO BE EFFECTIVE to build successful online businesses. .
When you do a search for real estate in your area, on a major search engine like MSN, does it show up on the first five pages? If it doesn't, you may be losing money. Spending your money on a web site that does not produce leads for you every month may be a bad business decision. Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is insanity. The internet is the real estate agents best friend. However, it does take time for the search engines to index a web site. If you have every submitted a site to Google you will find out that it can take seven months or more for them to crawl the site. In fact, they suggest that you don't even bother because they will eventually find it themselves. My preference is MSN and Yahoo. They seem to get things done a lot quicker and MSN controls about 33% of the web search traffic. Here are some of the web pages from our site and their rankings on MSN. These sites that have been on our system for a few months. All of these pages are searched with a widely used search term: best real estate agent in (the City or the Province or State or the Country). See for yourself by looking at the search term in the search box when your at MSN. On Google, some of them don't even show up they are now starting to show up. Now, do you see why we happen to prefer MSN, Yahoo then Google. In a nutshell, top search engine rankings create targeted prospects 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, even while you sleep and are far less expensive than print media advertising. You will have more exposure to people that are looking for real estate in your area.
Exclusivity - Best Real Estate Agent 4U is your exclusive web referral system. Exclusive, because we only allow only one qualified real estate agent in each geographic area. You will not compete for advertising space with 100's of other agents. Your membership assures you that you will be the one and only agent in your city or town. Referrals - Each of our members agrees to provide a minimum of 2 real estate referrals per year to the overall web site membership. We can't guarantee when you will receive any referrals from other members. But, we can guarantee that this is a condition of membership renewal and eventually, someone will have a client that is relocating to your area and will refer them to you. Some areas where we have members in place are smaller than the population of the big cities and it might be tough for them to come up with the two referrals. We understand and realize that this is entirely possible. To be fair, we will be flexible and compassionate with the referral commitment in some locations. The Bundled Package - As a member of our exclusive network you will receive everything that we offer, all bundled together as one. This includes all of our web sites. That's right, your set-up fee connects you to two different marketing and business building web sites all in one bundle. Two more web sites, www.your-market-value.com and www.buyahome-soon.com, will be added by the end of June of 2007. This delivers you a massive web presence that will help create leads, locate buyers, locate sellers and share referrals with fellow members. All of this is offered at an incredibly affordable price. Remember, I'm a real estate agent and too. I am working to put affordable marketing and business building options in front of you and give you tremendous value. In turn, I want your business for life.

You are free to charge your exclusive advertisers any reasonable fee that you can negotiate with them. This extra money is yours to keep. Typically, it is not uncommon to generate enough revenue from your advertising partners to cover the total cost of your exclusive web site and even create a positive cash flow. Please keep in mind that there is a one time set-up fee of $50.00 (plus taxes) to position their supplied image (jpg, gif, png or swf) within your exclusive web page. If your client would like an ad created for them, the basic charge is $75.00 to create an ad. There may be additional fees required to create an ad when animated gifs, swfs, etc. are requested. We will issue all advertisers a quote in advance to creating their ad and position a suitable advertisement for them.

Your can have an unlimited number of local advertisers that can be added to your exclusive web site. Should we have a suitable advertiser for a position on a sponsored page we reserve the right to position ads, with appropriate and tasteful content, within member sites. This is a good thing as it will attract more visitors to your sponsored page. You also have the opportunity to contact the advertiser and thank them for placing their ad. Of course, you will also invite them to receive your newsletter and you will ask them if they are open to discuss ways to cross promote your businesses. Referral Rewards - When you refer a new client to the Best Real Estate Agent 4U web site you will save money on your annual fees. When your referred client opens their new annual account, and after 30 days, we will credit you 4 free months when renewing your own annual membership.

You are able to personalize most of these documents to fit your needs. If you are not skilled in any of these programs or you're too busy, and you would like a customized presentation just for you, for a nominal fee, we can produce custom presentations for individual members. Our members have access to all of these sales and marketing materials and are free to alter most of these documents, as they see fit, at no extra cost what-so-ever.
Return to the TOP of this page. 30 Day Guarantee - You receive our 30 day guarantee. There is only one condition and that is that you must link your main web site back to us within 30 days of being accepted as a new member. We even supply a choice of link images and the code to easily copy and paste this into your main web site. Not doing so, will void the 90 day money back guarantee. Afterwards, if you are unhappy with your results, for what ever reason, you can cancel your annual membership any time within the first 30 days of use and receive a full refund of your paid annual fee. You can be the judge and jury and decide for yourself if being an exclusive member is a worth while service for you or not. As a parting gift, you can even keep using the marketing tools we have provided you. Money From the Internet - When people use their computer to search for real estate in your area they will find the web site and then they will find you. We will direct them to your main web site then it's up to you to convert them into a client. Here's a good question for you - - Does your web site do an adequate job of converting qualified clients? We hope so, because when we bring customers to you it's important that your main web site doesn't let you down. Volume is vanity and profit is sanity. Web Marketing - Just like you, we advertise too! The standard rule of thumb is to invest a minimum of 10% of our gross revenues into advertising and marketing. For a real estate agent, this means in order to earn $100,000 a year, be prepared to invest $833 a month today. We use this same rule and invest 10% of our annual fees into advertising and marketing. Why? Simple, we want to be the #1 REALTOR® web referral system in North America and then the world. You benefit from our advertising with even more qualified traffic to your main web site and more sales. Presently, we pay over $300 a month to market the site using Google Ad Words, paid advertisements on select real estate related web sites, paid press releases about every three months and reciprocal links on specific related real estate web sites. Every new member that joins our team helps to increase our advertising budget and we can promote the site more and more. Pre-Screened for Quality Assurance - We've just laid out a comprehensive set of benefits that our members receive and made a pretty good sales pitch for our web site. For some, they may have already made up their minds to give us a shot and have picked up the phone and called or sent us an email. Here's a little secret though. We don't accept everyone that comes our way. That's correct. Not everyone who wants to be in the Best Real Estate Agent 4U system will make the cut. Not making the cut is golf jargon and all it means is that you won't be playing for the big money on Sunday. We couldn't refer to ourselves as the "Best Real Estate Agent 4U" if our membership wasn't anything but of the highest quality. Sure, we could have structured our system differently and called ourselves ... Pretty Good REALTORS® 4U ... In It For The Money Real Estate Agents 4U ... or something like ... Drop The Ball REALTOR® 4U ... but, we like what we are all about and there's nothing wrong in setting the bar a little higher than most. Even though we try to position agents who have met the criteria and have agreed to the referral commitment, I cannot guarantee that every one will do their part. I honestly do not know what's in their heart. I cannot guarantee that their plan was not to get accepted and then just wait around for the referrals to start pouring in from the members that are living up to their agreement. What we can guarantee you is that the watchers and takers will be weeded out and replaced by others who are more willing to be an active part of the team. This may seem pretty harsh, in fact it's one of the fairest things that we can offer our membership. You don't have to be the biggest name in the industry or have the highest volume or longest tenure as a REALTOR®. It means that you will look after the clients that we direct to you with the highest degree of integrity, professionalism and dedication. It means that you will follow the steps that we will provide you to get the most out of our relationship. Return to the TOP of this page.

What does it cost you for a one weekend ad? $75.00 ... $100.00... $250.00? Is your ad exclusive and the only one on the page or is it mixed in with all of the other REALTORS® ads?

One referral from a fellow member could pay for this service for the next 25 years. Our service is available to only one person per area so, you're guaranteed exclusivity for the whole year.

They are designed to deliver our exclusive members lead from people interested in selling their homes and leads for new home buyer clients. All leads will be sent directly to our members for follow-up. (Note: As these two additional sites are completed the one time site set-up fee will increase to cover the labor involved to set up a member exclusively.) Ask any successful small business person "how did they do it" and they will eventually get around to telling you that their success came from the strategic alliances that they have made over the years. Picture this, you take us out of the box and plug us in and we work. As long as you do your part by sending a minimum of two referrals every 12 months to the general membership.

You can even get your entire year for FREE when you send clients our way. You are able to create an immediate advertising income for yourself when local goods and service providers place an ad on your exclusive web site. As a group, we invest 10% of our annual fees directly into advertising and marketing to get you seen on the web. Return to the TOP of this page. What we don't offer is monthly billing, sorry. Here's why. If we invested into a eCommerce web site it would drive our development and administration costs up, way up. With these extra costs membership fees would be around $85.00 USD a month. In addition, we would probably have to remove our referral program which currently gets you 4 free months when you refer a new client to us. The goal of this web site is to get you seen on the web and to drive people to your main web site. Our goal has never been to develop a powerful data-base driven web site administered by a battery of programmers and office administrators. This isn't needed to bring you leads from the internet. It's an unnecessary added expense that we have elected not to take. To keep our costs the lowest and most affordable, as well as provide you with the biggest bang for your buck, it's a necessary evil to have one annual payment for these services. It's time for you to decide if this is for you. Please have a look at all the benefits that get to help you make money in your real estate career. Would you like to be the exclusive REALTOR® in your area? If you want to think about this for a while. It may be too late because someone may already be taking steps to be the REALTOR® in your area. The early bird gets the worm. You will be able to think about this for 30 days because you're covered by our 30 day satisfaction guarantee. If you're even remotely interested, act now and send us an email and let's get the ball rolling. Or you can choose to wait and see what happens. When you visit us again and look up your city you might see that one of your competitors has taken the area and that would be pretty sad because you have the first chance to do it right now. No other service even comes close to what we have to offer our clients! We are result oriented and are geared towards driving internet leads to your main web site and sharing referrals between our members. This investment will likely pay for itself many times over. There's only one spot available on a first-come, first-served exclusive basis, so hurry and secure your position before your competition does. Return to the TOP of this page.
