A Word from one of Sponors: Keller Williams Greater Seattle

Stay on the Leading Edge or be Left Behind
By Brad Davis, Keller Williams Greater Seattle

If you’re not adapting to the latest trends in real estate marketing, stay home and gussy up your resume. For those who have a passion and desire to continue making it in this business, RE BarCamp Seattle promises to offer you a leading edge.

Foremost, take a look at your brokerage brand name and logo. Think about the image it portrays to your colleagues and the general public. Ask people what they think or feel about your branding. Is it relevant to Gen-Xers or even Gen-Yers for that matter? Or does your brand image cater more to a segment of the market that’s retired and making ends meet on a fixed income?

Believe it or not, much of the general public thinks we agents are a dime a dozen. Truthfully some agents are and you may actually be shocked how seldom people you know think about you. Given half as many deals closed in the Seattle area compared to 2005, I hope you’ve at least thought about how you’re positioning yourself to stand out from the crowd.

Communicating how you’re unique from other agents isn’t magic or rocket science. It starts with a way of being which should permeate everything you do including how you communicate with your sphere and prospects.

What you’ll discover at RE BarCamp Seattle is very similar to what you’ll find happening daily at Keller Williams Greater Seattle or any KW office for that matter. Exchange of ideas, camaraderie , support, training and masterminding to name a few.

Come month’s end KW will also be releasing to its agents a highly advanced multi-function tool designed to fully manage contacts from initial lead intake all the way through closing. It’s called eEdge. This tool integrates with your existing database, can auto generate marketing campaigns, replaces your transaction management software and much more.  I’m certain you’ll hear much more about it throughout our industry in the coming months.

KW exists to support its agents in the further development and advancement of their careers in real estate. In alignment with our company’s core values, Keller Williams Greater Seattle is a proud sponsor of RE BarCamp Seattle. Come find out what might be missing from your business.

Editor’s Note:  Seattle reBarCamp thanks Keller Williams Greater Seattle for being one of our sponsors and helping to make this event possible.  Please be sure to check them out on Facebook.

Thanks Keller Williams Greater Seattle!

Twas the Day Before Seattle RE BarCamp…and it was ROCKIN’

We are very excited that the guys from Think Big Work Small, Brian Stevens and Frank Garay, are coming to town the day before RE BarCamp Seattle.  Why?  They are doing an event (more like a boot camp) in the Seattle Center Northwest Rooms on teaching real estate professionals how to do video blogs:  the Northwest Video Marketing Summit.  The cost is $100 and this is an all day event and real estate agents may receive 3 clock hours!. Brian tells me that at the end of the day, participants will be leaving with their own fully functional video blog.   

Check out their video about the Northwest Video Marketing Summit:

If  you’ve been contemplating video blogging or you all ready use video on your blog, you don’t want to miss this event.   So come a day early on March 2, 2011 and be ready to learn.   You can RSVP for the Northwest Video Marketing Summit by clicking here.    You can follow this event on Twitter via #vmssea.

March 2nd and March 3rd are going to be fantastic days for the real estate community to learn and share at the Seattle Center Northwest Rooms (same place as last  year).  

Sign up for both events — we can’t wait to see you!

By the way, TBWS is one of the much appreciated sponsors of 2011 Seattle RE BarCamp!

How Can You Help?

We’re less than two months away from Seattle RE BarCamp and it’s fantastic that people are coming foward wanting to help with this event.   RE Barcamp is not a company or any organization, it’s built and run by volunteers.   The planning committee has been meeting for the past several months getting the nuts and bolts together for the 2011 event in Seattle.   We can always use more help!

If you would like to get involved to make this event great, here’s a few ideas:

• Spread the word! Write a blog post, share that you’re attending on Facebook, tweet it up (be sure to include #rebcsea), post a flyer in your office, talk to your co-workers and other real estate professionals.   We want to make sure that everyone knows about Seattle RE BarCamp who might want to attend (and/or sponsor)!   PS:  Let us know if you write a post about Seattle RE Barcamp – we would love to retweet it for you.
• Keep a look out for potential sponsors.   Sponsorship is only $250 and we simply cannot have enough!  Our much appreciated sponsors keep this event FREE and if there are any left-over proceeds, they will go to a great charity, Solid Ground.
• Come ready to participate. RE BarCamps are not classes where someone teaches or lectures about a specific topic while you sit back in your seat.   Don’t get me wrong, you will learn plenty however participation is expected by those who attend.    Don’t be shy — share what you know and ask questions.

Suggestions? Ideas? How can you help?  Let us know – we are all ears!
