Innovative Marketing Techniques for Buyer’s Reps (NAR/REBAC Course) One of the reasons why licensees fail or only achieve modest success is their inability to focus on the consumer’s needs and to market their services accordingly. In the past, marketing courses have dealt with marketing the seller’s property as opposed to marketing to the buyer. Structured to inspire novel marketing approaches to create a personal “brand,” this course encourages students to look everywhere for differentiating marketing opportunities that grab the attention of buyers. With buyer representation now in the mainstream of the real estate profession, this course addresses marketing for the buyer’s representative with the buyer’s interest in mind.

 Successful Buyer Representation in New Home Sales (NAR/REBAC Course)  This course is a comprehensive look at the special complexities of working with buyers who are searching for a newly-built or yet-to-be-built home.

The student will learn where and how to find new home sales business; understand how the development and new-home sales processes work and the type of services the buyer needs.

  Successful Relocation Representation (NAR/REBAC Course)  To keep pace with a changing real estate market, buyer’s representatives need to find new buyers to serve and new services to bring them.  One important growth area is relocation-buyers who are transferred by an employer or who move to take up employment.  Relocation buyers have all the concerns of all other buyers, plus the added stress associated with moving to an unfamiliar area.  They are often in desperate need of representation and counseling.  To best serve a transferee, a buyer’s representative needs to have a thorough understanding of the relocation process as well as the  specialized services transferees need.  Working within the relocation process, relationship building and marketing your new niche are just a few  central skills examined in this course.
