We’re excited to announce an upcoming event for Real Estate Agents in the DC area called REBAR Camp Nova. Join us on Thursday, September 20, 2018 from 9:30 AM – 4:30 PM EDT for a very informal and very free technology conference. Mark your calendar! Location of REBAR Camp NOVA: Workhouse Arts Center 9518 Workhouse Road Lorton, VA 22079 Today we are diving deep into apps with Kristy Hairston, Real Estate Agent and Trainer. Kristy is an expert on time saving and cost-effective apps that help agents. We are so excited to share our discussion with you today! Folio is a great app to manage transactions and reminders, especially for your buyers. G-Board is a keyboard app for iPhone users that lets you swipe instead of type (a feature that android users already have) and gives you options for sending someone google maps and send a gift or pay someone right from the text composition platform. Boomerang lets you manage your e-mail communication in several ways. You can schedule e-mails to go out at a certain time. Kristy uses this when she is writing emails late at night, but she doesn’t want them to go out until the morning. If you send a message to someone and they don’t open it within a certain amount of time, Boomerang will move that message back up to the top of their inbox until they open it and it will notify you all along the way. This was a game changer when we were in a short sale market, but even now it’s super helpful. For lead generation two great apps are Five Street is a great app to manage transactions and reminders, especially for your buyers. 5 Street and Open Home Pro. Canva lets you create flyers, post cards, presentations and signatures. There are great templates and you can use either the desktop or app version. Hootsuite and Buffer are just amazing for scheduling social media posts. You should still log in daily and engage, but batching the posts is a game changer! Did you know that this app will you can take a picture of a house key and make it for you? Another great app for buyers is Centriq. It sends push notifications and reminders for the home buying process so your clients can stay organized and you don’t need to hire an assistant to do it! If you would like to create some beautiful photos of a staged home, but your seller cannot afford to actually stage their space you should use Box Brownie. Feel free to reach out to Kristy Hairston to learn more about apps that can save you time and money as a real estate agent!

Location of REBAR Camp NOVA: Workhouse Arts Center 9518 Workhouse Road Lorton, VA 22079 Today we are diving deep into using Facebook with Andrea Vahl, Social Media Consultant and Co-Author of Facebook Marketing All-in-One for Dummies. Andrea has had her blog AndreaVahl.com for 9 years where she is constantly sharing the most up-to-date social media tips! Today Kara and Andrea talk about how real estate agents can use a business page on Facebook. Andrea explains that it’s easy to set up. This is the space where the business part of your life lives on Facebook, but you also want it to be fun! You can post some entertainment and showcase some of your own personality. Let’s talk about imagery. Your profile photo should be a photo of you, not the one you use on your personal profile. Your cover photo could either showcase a property or you could even insert a video. Remember that changing your cover photo every once in a while is a great way to get a little attention. The About Page is where you give info about how you work and showcase success you’ve had in your business. Feel free to elaborate. Don’t make this section too short. Beyond imagery and a strong About Page the next most important thing for Facebook success is to post good content regularly. And, Facebook rewards posts that initiate conversation, so get creative with your posts! Ask questions about homeownership, moving and interior design! Then, Kara and Andrea go on to discuss some more advanced strategies and ad promotion. First, go in to Facebook Ad Manager and select the objective that you want. The choices are: website clicks, lead generation or conversation. Then you’ll be able to optimize your ad for those results. Have the Facebook pixel installed on your website if you can. Next Kara asks Andrea about some other ways to increase lead generation. When someone gives you their email address in exchange for a great piece of content, that is considered a lead. When someone visits your website there should be something front and center that is irresistible!

Location of REBAR Camp NOVA: Workhouse Arts Center 9518 Workhouse Road Lorton, VA 22079 Today we are diving deep into Expireds with Borino Borino, founder of the Real Estate Rock Stars Facebook group with 31,000 members. Borino is The Expireds Guru! He has an incredible entrepreneurial mindset and he now is a coach, teaching other agents how to thrive. He says that in this career you can turn things around very quickly. You don’t need to rake up $300,000 in student debt or spend 16 years in school. This is not an easy business, but it can be very profitable very quickly. It comes down to mindset. It takes some very specific qualities and values to become a successful real estate agent and to last as a real estate agent. You need to have an abundance mentality and you need to be incredibly driven. 5.4 million transactions will be closed this year according to the National Association of Realtors. The NAR also says there are 1.62 million registered agents. Look around and you’ll find that the vast majority of agents make less than $50,000 per year. What distinguishes the agents who are making substantially more? They believe different things and they expect different things. Here are the most important things you should know about how to get expired listings. Make real connections. Technology doesn’t replace communication. You can totally develop the skill of making connections. Practice talking to people in a way that helps them drop their resistance. Another thing to keep in mind is that most of your conversions will not happen on the first contact. Let them know that you truly want to help them, whether they list with you or not. Borino and Kara also chat about tips for effective open houses. Tune in to learn more! Kara loves connecting with special guests and teaching real estate agents how to treat their job like a real business. Expired listings are everywhere. It takes a little more work and patience to get them, but they can be a very profitable part of your business.
