RE/MAX Elite's Monday Morning Message 1.2.12

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!

Welcome to this edition of RE/MAX Elite's Monday Morning Message.....This week we have the great opportunity to make a difference in our lives and in the lives of those around us. As the New Year starts, we all have the yearly chance to start off fresh. Let us focus each week on building something really truly great. Let us not waste any time and understand that regardless of where we are today we can go anyplace we would like with enough hard work. The best part about a new year is that, like all the other times in our life, we are in full control. Let us remember that each and every day. We decide what we will do; when we will do it; and who we will do things with. We decide what our reactions to people will be; how we will look at every situation that confronts us; and what we find important or not. We are 100% in control of our lives. We hope this year brings you all that you desire and we hope it is your best year yet. We are here to help any way we can! JB, SR & H3

Facebook Pay Per Click Advertising for Great Agents

January 23rd
1:00 - 2:00 pm

Webinar

Have you ever seen those great pop-up advertisements on the sidelines of your Facebook page when you are updating your profile or status? Sometimes they look more like invitations than advertisements.

One of the best tools that Facebook offers is the ability to advertise to potential clients through Pay Per Click Advertising. It's so much better than traditional media advertising. Why? When you advertise in the newspaper you are paying to market your message to thousands of people who aren't interested in what you have to say. You use that method because by marketing to thousands, you might find the few that are interested in listening.

With Facebook, you can advertise to a very select group of people, at your choosing. Best of all, you only pay to advertise to the ones are who interested in listening. That's why Pay Per Click advertising on Facebook can be one of the most effective marketing mediums in your arsenal.

In this 45 minute presentation we show you how to create, track, and continuously improve a one of a kind Facebook marketing campaign that will produce results.

Even if you are newer to Facebook, this class will make you a marketing magnifioso in minutes.

Short Sale Basics - Stop Ignoring The Market!

January 30th
2:00-3:00 pm

Webinar

You Can't Ignore 50% of the Market. Learn How to Handle Short Sale Transactions TODAY!
We have heard all of the excuses why agents shouldn't or won't work a short sale transaction.

- "Short sales are impossible and never get approved"
- "Buyers are not interested in buying a short sale"
- "I can't make any money working with short sales"
- "There is not enough time to negotiate a short sale before foreclosure"

While we agree that short sale transactions take more time and effort than the normal deal. With the proper education and support, you can GREATLY reduce the time and frustration and still close these transactions.

This one hour program will teach you the basics of negotiating a short sale and will talk about the importance of becoming a Certified Distressed Property Expert in order to have the best qualifications to deal with all aspects of the distressed property market.
