I love to help people succeed. I heard a great quote about succeeding in business (I can’t for the life me of remember who said it), that was, “define your success as your customers’ success”. The longer I’ve been in business the more I believe that, which is why I found our recently completed HomeFinder.com Agent Makeover Sweepstakes so rewarding.
This September, we had the chance to lend a helping hand to five wonderful real estate agents.We flew the five winning agents to Chicago for a style makeover, life-coaching sessions, and digital and social networking training to help them take their businesses to the next level. I personally taught the SEO (search engine optimization) session, and walked away invigorated that we could make a difference in our five winners real estate businesses.

Real estate agents have so many responsibilities that it’s overwhelming to know exactly how to best manage their websites, social media and branding strategies, in addition to a thriving real estate business. Hopefully the two days our five winners spent in Chicago helped them walk away with new tools, strategies, and tactics to supercharge their business.
