Tenacity and Vision are a two-way Inspirational Highway - Exit Realtors Celebrate in the Carolinas with Training and Awards…

March 6th, 2009 – Charlotte, NC: Michael Washburn, The Franchise Owner of the Carolinas, invited me to train in Charlotte at the yearly Exit of The Carolinas Awards Gala; a treat for me since I got to spend time with Bob McKinnon, a Real Estate Mentor of mine, and Tami Bonnel the CEO of Exit Realty. I strived to inspire and train the agents – and I left inspired by the Brokers and Realtors Commitment and Vision… Our economy is having its share of challenges, and Real Estate has been tested for over a year, but the tenacity of the Exit Brokers and Realtors blew me away… The desire to succeed and serve the Real Estate Consumer is alive and well, and Exit Realty Agencies in the Carolinas are up to the challenge!!!

Bob McKinnon's training focused the agents on the essential drive for competence and the necessity for reflection. He was rounded out with the theme of Attraction by Tami Bonnell which starts with an Appraisal of oneself, and leads to the fulfillment of the Needs of those we serve and care about.

The essence of Success is Responsibility…

I am Responsible for my Success…

I am Responsible for my Community…

I am Responsible for the Success of those around me…

Thank you Michael Washburn for allowing me, Bob McKinnon, and Tami Bonnell to participate with all the Brokers and Realtors in the Carolinas; Charlotte was the place to be on March the 6th 2009. Another special thanks to John Byers for taking the best pictures of the event; follow this link for more pictures.

Bob McKinnon brings energy to Exit Brokers in Charlotte NC

2009.03.05 - Michael Washburn, of Exit Realty of The Carolinas, invites Real Estate Guru and Philosopher to shed light on Real Estate Today.

“Put your Fear of Today into Affirming the Hope of Tomorrow!!!” – A quote that resonated in a room full of Exit Realty Broker/Owners from North and South Carolina.

Bob McKinnon brought his wisdom and decades of experience and coaching to illuminate the conditions of Real Estate today and how to prepare for The Real Estate of tomorrow… Brokers feverishly took notes and got down to the basics of planning for the future – at Exit Realty “We are building a Company by Design that honors Production and Success.”

The workshop helped Brokers re-focus on planning the future and making it measurable, and as Bob says… it all starts with Reflection… A time one needs to get in touch with the truth of today and design the future for all around. At Exit Realty Brokers are committed to make their Real Estate Professionals better; and make a promise to do so by bringing timely training and one-on-one coaching.

Bob McKinnon, Senior Regional Consultant, McKinnon Enterprises, P.O. Box 1582, Grapevine, Texas 76099 – (817) 832-0938.

Topsail Real Estate Database Strategy

REALTOR Training Seminar Tuesday 2/24/2009 - 1-5pm
Surf City Welcome Center
102 North Shore Dr, Surf City NC

The Topsail Island Association of REALTORs is planning a very special training on Real Estate Database Strategy.

The training is designed to help REALTORs devise the right strategy and help them use the right tools and habits to stay in touch with their customers. Let’s agree that tools are as good as the user's knowledge but more importantly their diligence, consistency, and repeated assiduous approach…

The Real Estate Business is a Referral Business and any strategy that helps Real Estate Professionals stay in touch with their clients, old and new, creates the conditions for success… So are you all over the place with your to-do list, your tasks, worse your emails?

Did you know that the biggest complaint our customers say about us is “We do a poor job of staying in touch with them…” – We must not only create the conditions for communications but have the tools that satisfy and cause our clients to recommend us…
If you are using Outlook, and/or a similar Database Management System this is the training for you… worse if you are using the contact manager in your phone and getting nowhere – then definitely this training is for you!!!

Location: Surf City Welcome Center

Date: Tue 2/24/2009 - 1-5pm

Duration: 4 hours – two 15 minutes breaks will be offered.

Cost: to TIAR - Not Trainer; TIAR Board Members $10; Affiliates $40; Non-Members $50.
(910) 262-3948>

Trainer Commitment: To un-shackle REALTORs from the fear of technology and bring clarity to the proper use of communication and internet tools to their day-to-day business...

Course Description: (please read what follows to understand the intention of the course.)

Real Estate Database Strategy

How to stay in touch with Clients to Convert Sales!!! Outlook, eMail, Contact & Database Management... (The Necessary Real Estate Habits!)

Successful Real Estate Professionals understand that the business of Real Estate is the Business of People - in other words The Referral Business. Unfortunately most Realtors are lost in a mountain of Data and don’t know how to use the tools of organization that actually produce results... Remember it is our job to stay in touch with our current and past clients... (NOT theirs…)

This course focuses on the Technology side of this undertaking... this is an illuminating Training Session for many Real Estate Professionals and is driven by proven how-to skills that will unleash your creativity to stay in touch with your clients.

You will learn:

What is a Database? In Fact what is a good Real Estate Database?
What is Outlook? Is it different than Outlook Express?
How to use email productively? (The Nuts & Bolts of the Class)
How to tame Outlook?
How do I handle Contacts and why? (Must Learn!!!)
How do I become a Better Decision Maker? (You’ll love this?)
Why am I drowning in emails and how to rescue myself?
What are substitute products to Outlook and how do I decide?
How about portable devices – what should I keep in mind?
Cool Tips and Tricks to become a savvy Outlook User – They are really nifty!
And much much more…

I consider this class a Strategy Class not just a How to Class - so for you guys with Personal Assistants you may want to consider showing up and bring your assistant! If you understand the strategy you will be able to help your Assistant assist you in the implementation.

Email from Greg Bennett Broker Owner in Beaufort SC: "Incredible, barely describes the level of expertise of Key Yessaad.
I have personally met with web designers, programmers, IT gurus, etc. Their combined knowledge doesn't even equal the holistic approach of Key's understanding of the web.
I have spent tens of 1,000s of dollars for the "perfect" website and lead capture systems, with poor results.
After attending a 4 hour Blog training session with Key, I posted 2 Blogs and was on page 1 of Google in position 1,2 4 and 6 and had 2 sellers contact me within 72 hours !!
After Keys 4 hour Web Strategy class I finally knew that all the self proclaimed experts in the field that I had paid big bucks to, were mostly versed in only one aspect of the web. Key's knowledge of the WEB is the most comprehensive I have ever encountered and he clearly articulates his expertise in a manner that anyone can understand.
Key empowered my agents to ask WEB companies the critical questions to have a WEB site that truly produces results and can organically create quality leads without spending a fortune. He also frees the agents from being dependant on the WEB master that they are at the mercy of.
Any EXIT agent or broker, who thinks they know how the web works with respect to real estate, really needs to attend Key's training. They will find out how much they actually never knew. If Key was able to put 5 North Carolina EXIT offices on page 1 of Google Just imagine what he can do for all of Exit as an International Franchise.
Brokers, owners and agents should not delay in scheduling Key."

Why the Emphasis on Strategy? – Garner Real Estate Training

Why the Emphasis on Strategy? – Garner Real Estate Training

Methodical, diligent work that adds up to something meaningful is the cornerstone of success in all endeavors. For the longest time, and for many Real Estate Professionals, Real Estate has been about the pursuit of the deal; and although there is nothing wrong in chasing deals, especially in a market like this one, lots of energy is expanded and it seems as though the Realtor is re-inventing the wheel with each transaction. (and for many it creates a lack of discipline and focus.)

To Strategize is to have a method to your madness, a trusted routine that helps “create” each work day, and accumulates to weeks and months of measurable accomplishments… I am not talking about goals, those are the fruit of your labor – I am talking about the steps and activities that make up your goals. For example, let us assume you have an Effectiveness Conversion rate of 30 to 1; meaning that if you spoke to 30 people about Real Estate you will convert one into a client; and let us assume you desired to have 2 clients a month; your life is therefore quite simple: You must have 720 Real Estate Conversations a year, but better yet: it translates into 3 conversations a workday… By focusing on the strategy you will then create the conditions that force you to have 3 conversations with potential clients each workday and you will make sure your day does not end without this occurring… You have just moved from the realm of thinking and gnawing at your thoughts into the realm of action… (I hear some of you saying to me – well give me the 3 people a day and I will show you; WRONG: You are in Real Estate and no one gives you anything… everything is earned and successful Realtors know that. PS: Successful Agents turn this Discipline on its head! They create the conditions for the world to send them enough Real Estate Contacts to convert Sales…)

But no matter, the example above does not seem to have anything to do with my trainings (Real Estate Internet Strategy.) It sure does: The Internet, Google, Blogs, and Social Media don’t really matter if we are not talking; If “We are Talking We are Selling.” I train Brokers and Realtors how to compete online and I give them a “Strategy” for Success: this means Planning, Long Term Implementation, Weekly Application, and a Vision to hold it all together…

The Internet is the platform of communication with our clients and it needs to be embraced Thoughtfully and Strategically!!!

A Good Strategist has the following qualities:
    • Is Ultimately Responsible.
    • Sees Problems as Opportunities to Improve.
    • Balances Short- and Long-term Needs.
    • Keeps Calm when the unexpected occurs.
    • Is a Skilled Communicator.

The Brokers of Exit Realty in the Garner / Raleigh Area of North Carolina, George White, Johnnyette Taylor, and Keith Burch are holding a special training on Real Estate Web Strategy Thursday February 19th, 2009, and led by Key Yessaad.

The training is designed to help Realtors and Brokers devise an Internet Strategy that produces results and transcends the arduous jargon that floats around the Real Estate Industry. Real Estate Professionals understand that having a successful Web presence is important but getting the right ideas and habits are few and far between… this course intends to answer the fundamental questions and offers a Plan of Action that Realtors can trust to design an organic Real Estate Internet Strategy driven by the needs of their Buyers and Sellers. This is a true Real Estate Training - nothing will be sold nor does the trainer affiliate with any vendors. Details on Garner Training.

"Thank you for an unbelievable class yesterday! I have been “somewhat” in touch with technology over the years but you really showed me how far behind I have fallen. Your class was excellent and precisely what is needed to be competitive in today’s real estate market. The depth of knowledge and ideas you shared were priceless! Also, the specific plan of action to implement these ideas really sets you apart from all the other trainers. You have truly empowered me to get my real estate web strategy back on track!" – Ed Flowers - Broker/Owner, Columbia SC.

"Wow, does not begin to describe the high intensity learning experience you will receive by attending Key Yessaad’s web strategy training. This is the type of information that can be intimidating for agents and brokers alike. Key’s incredible knowledge and entertaining teaching style will break it down into small bites that everyone will be able to digest." – Joe Nester.

"The information was nothing short of astounding! I am consistently amazed at the progression technology makes and even better how we utilize these tools for our clients benefit. I know that all of the agents who participated, left the seminar more knowledgeable about how we can help our clients and increase our business! Thanks Key (again) for giving us a peek behind the web curtain!" - Brandon Liles.

"Key, as promised your seminar today was great. As you know this is the second time I have attended this training and it was even more beneficial the second time around. It was great to see the excitement on the faces of the attendees and know that they are being empowered to move their career forward. I know I speak for my office when I say we can’t wait to have you back in March." – Craig Summerall.

Raleigh Garner Real Estate Web Strategy Training

Realtor Training Seminar Thursday 2/19/2009

The Brokers of Exit Realty in Garner / Raleigh Area of North Carolina, George White, Johnnyette Taylor, and Keith Burch are holding a special training on Real Estate Web Strategy Thursday February 19th, 2009, and led by Key Yessaad.

Location: Exit Realty Professionals – (Thank you George White) 705 Umstead Ln, Garner, NC 27529 - (919) 779-2211

Date: Thursday, Feb 19^th, 2009 – 9:30am (please start arriving at 9am)

Duration: 5 hours – ample breaks will be offered.

Cost: $45 (please make checks payable to: Key Yessaad and hand them to your broker. I asked them to hold the checks until I have delivered the training.)

Lunch Sponsor: Dean Brown, Allstate Insurance (Thank you, you're the best!)

My Commitment: To un-shackle you from the fear of the internet and show you what your Buyers, Sellers and Google want… (Don’t we all want to make Google happy!!!) I will also give you a methodical plan of action to get you going or tweak what you are currently doing…

Course Description: (please read what follows to understand the intention of the course.)

Real Estate Web Strategy

Going beyond the Web Jargon and into a Successful Real Estate Strategy

Do you plan to get a website? Do you have a website that’s stagnant? Do you feel overwhelmed with the whole endeavor? This is the Seminar for you... many of you have sluggish websites that are not producing any results... so what to do?

I designed this course to go beyond the mere discussion of need; to the design of a Real Estate Web Strategy that drives traffic and results. You will leave empowered and with a plan of action and a full-understanding of what is currently happening in the realm of Real Estate Websites.

I am Vendor-Agnostic and will share with you what I have seen work; I will show you what to demand from your vendor and will help you make the right decision. It is not the Vendor that matters; it is your habits and discipline I am going to focus on...

This course was designed to enhance the ability of Real Estate Professionals to compete in an ever increasing spirited Internet Landscape…

This course used to be called: "I don't have a Web Strategy – How do I get started?" It has now evolved to include all the major topics of Real Estate Internet Strategies. Bring your assistant, your web guru, your cousin Vinnie who dabbles in websites – they will learn how to help you focus on the most important part about having a Real Estate website. Realtor Websites are of a different nature than regular ones – I will explain all this in the class…

I will cover the following topics in the Seminar:

Should you get a Real Estate website? And why?
How do you select the best Web Services? What are the important tools of a R.E. Website?
Domain Names: How do I get one? Where and How much?
Should I get more than one? And why? How do I hook them up together?
How do I get started?
Will I be able to understand the Web jargon? (Let me give you the answer: Yes)
How expensive is it going to be? (I will show you how to get started for FREE!)
How much work will I have to put in? Is it worth the effort? And how often?
What is IDX? And do I need it? Shouldn’t I just use my MLS IDX? And what is Sticky IDX?
How about Blogging? Is it important?
How can my Assistant help me grow my website?

I will have time for all your questions… Remember: bringing your tech guy/gal to this class will help you and will focus him/her on your Real Estate Web needs…

"Thank you for the phenomenal training on real estate blogging and our web strategy. Not only was it entertaining and informative, but it was RELEVANT! You are providing our agents and brokers the most pertinent information we could receive in this market. I personally have seen the results of doing what you tell me to do and I have no doubt that it will lead to our office being more successful. Every regional owner and broker should have you in their offices immediately! We cannot wait to have you back in Charlotte." - Angie Byers Owner - EXIT Realty South.

"Key is the MASTER of internet strategy! He’s paying it forward by training Exit Realty agents on how to harness the power of online marketing and lead generation. Through his high energy, cutting edge training, he has motivated and energized our team! Key is sharing what many others exploit for big bucks! We can’t learn enough from him! If you have not experienced his training, you’re missing out (and probably way behind the curve)." - Kathy Rawers - Broker/Owner.

"Key, Your class on Blogging was amazing. You were right on the money when you spoke of how much other companies charged to optimize your websites and help move you up in the rankings. Your class motivates an individiual and has them take control of their own destiny. This is just like the old saying "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink." There are no more excuses. You feel empowered when you can blog and move yourself up in the rankings as you taught us to do today. I'm anxious to get started and take control of the Statesville market. Thanks, I look forward to future classes." - Kim Privette, Broker/Owner.

Did he say Ctrl-K or “Control Key” – Charlotte Real Estate Training goes bang!!!

Bang… Yes I heard that noise go off in many of the agents’ heads and smiles who attended “Charlotte Real Estate Blogging Strategy.” – In fact many of them said so using terms such as: “I get it now!,” “I know what to do now!,” and all promised to have a blog posted within a week and start blogging weekly and become the community market leaders.

The Brokers of Exit Realty South, John and Angie Byers, hosted 25+ agents for an intensive training and provided lunch with the compliments of Grubb Properties Inc. It was an awesome experience to be with such intent group of Realtors committed to taking their success to the next level; in attendance were Jim Barnett, Stephanie Blanton, Debby Byers, Lizette Constance, Suzi Daugherty, Maria Ferreira, Shirley Ghorshi, Karen Gillespie, Shannon Griffith, Joan Hileman, Vernon Jackson, Adriana Jaramillo, Sonya Leonard, Rick Mabe, Lori Marlow, Andy McPherson, Kathi Minter, Paris Michelle Morgan, Kim Privette, Brandy Sellers, Andrew Thigpen, and Nancy Winters. (February 12th, 2009)

So what’s with “Control Key?” – No No… we are not trying to control “Key,” that’s a different class altogether… it’s “Ctrl-K” – as in hold the “Ctrl” Key down and hit K to create links!!! (Enough said… those of you who were there get it!!!)

"Key, Your class was excellent – you taught me the power and ease of Blogging. I am ready to make this a “key” part of my internet / marketing strategy. I look forward with anticipation to see the results in my business. I will enthusiastically refer you to all of my agents and am willing travel to any of your classes in the Carolinas. Please send me your schedule. I have two of my agents who will accompany me. Thanks," - Vernon Jackson, Broker/Owner.

"Hi Key! Once again you delivered a powerful and fun class! You did not disappoint. I will tell you that I attended a two day CRS workshop on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week and paid 5 times the amount of your class and I walked away with 10 times the value from your class. Just the hint about using Google docs to cut and paste my entire article instead of using word will save me so much time. I look forward to the next class with you. Thank you for your energy and for sharing your knowledge with us! You are wonderful and I would recommend this class to anyone (on the other hand…………..maybe I should keep you a secret!)" - Sonya Leonard, Statesville NC.

"Key, words can't express how excited I now am about blogging! The light finally went on in my head and now I understand it. I have started on my first blog and will keep in touch with you. I am proof that you can teach a "middle aged" dog new tricks! Thanks so much, Debby Byers Exit Realty South, Charlotte, N.C." - Bebby Myers, Charlotte NC.

"Key, I just wanted to say thanks for allowing my coworkers and I the opportunity to capture a few minutes of your training with John yesterday. You were amazing and I loved your energy. Kristi and I would love to attend one of your classes in the near future. Thanks again and have a great afternoon." - Stacy Danner|Senior Residential Broker, Grubb Properties, Inc.
(Stacy and her colleagues sponsored the lunch for the Charlotte training on 2/12/2009 and only attended 10 minutes of the event... Thank you Stacy!!!)

Charleston Real Estate Professionals learn the power of Ctrl-K

Sometimes the simplest ideas can have a profound effect on our way of thinking. The internet is now part of everything we do day to day, yet for many it is still shrouded in mystery…

So we simplify and amplify…

Question: What is the make-up of a Web and Blog Page?

Text: we all understand that…

Pictures: not that hard…

Links: Easy… just remember Ctrl-K…

"Dear Key, Thank you so much for coming to Mt Pleasant today to teach your Real Estate Web Site and Blogging classes! I have been a Realtor for 15 years, closed almost 500 transactions and I am 46 years old. I kid you not when I say I can't set my own digital alarm clock, play a DVD on the TV (there are 3 remotes!), play the PS3, or turn on the Wii! I have to get my 13 year old son to help me do all the above! Thanks to you Key, I can blog now. Watch out Charleston real estate market, the old dog has learned some new tricks!

Exit Realtors from Columbia to Lexington SC gain an edge to compete Online – South Carolina Brokers facilitate Real Estate Web Strategy Training...

Exit Broker Craig Summerall joined by Ed Flowers, Brandon Liles, and Joe B. Nester held an Internet Strategy Training for their Real Estate Professionals in Columbia South Carolina. The training was enthusiastically attended by 25 Agents: Craig Augenstein, Julia Ayers, Ed Flowers, Evelyn Gibson, Tonya D. Graves, Mark Ilderton, Holly Kearse-Jolley, Brandon Liles, Meg Liles, Bill McCarter, Betsy S. Nagel, Ed Neeley, Ellyn Nester, Joe B. Nester, Joseph Piccinini, Nancy Pitts, Cathie Saucier, Paul Saucier, Lisa Sills, Renay Stewart, Mary M. Stuckey, Craig Summerall, Cat Thornton, Jean Toney, and Derrell W. Wells.

Real Estate and Internet Strategy are concepts walled-off by ignorance…; the 6-hour training, Real Estate Web Strategy, drives the essential idea that Realtors must create the conditions of organic connectivity with and for their clients wherever they happen to be… Success is driven by Real Estate Agencies that re-arrange their business model to such interactions.

"Thank you so much for yesterday! It was a really great session, and I told my husband last night that three hours with you flew by!! Thank you for keeping it interesting and fun. I got your message. I’m on the way out the door to meet with a client, but I do want to chat with you. I feel like I have a lot to digest. I’ve begun working on my bio, and I want to spend the next few days working on my “assignment” from you and reviewing the notes from your training session." - Katherine Mappus.

"Thank you for your enthusiasm and insight into the enigmatic world of web design. We look forward to putting in place a long term web strategy to increase our sales and Internet presence and will most assuredly enlist your expertise." - Joseph (JP) Piccinini.

"I just wanted to e-mail you and let you know that I enjoyed your class yesterday. I have already started to work on all the information you gave us. I am so glad I had the opportunity to be there. I would highly recommend your class to any real estate agent that is serious about being successful in this modern market. I was totally confused about web sites until your class, and as you spoke it was like someone turned on the lights." It clicked". I now have a plan and will be busy implementing it. I just want to say again, Thanks for the knowledge that you shared with us, and for your willingness to even stay later than planned to share more. Thanks and May God Bless You in all you do Sincerely," - Derrell Wells.

"Key - What a treat! Thank you! Thank you! So glad I attended! I left with the feeling I could reach the top of Mt Everest with my web page! Can't wait till we meet again! Thankfully," - Holly Jolley.

Real Estate Internet Strategy exceeds the look of your website

Category: Training/Coaching

Real Estate Internet Strategy exceeds the design needs of your website…

It never fails… As a Real Estate Web Strategist, Brokers and Realtors seek my opinion and consent on the look of their websites… and I do understand their need for such an assessment... After all we all seek validation…

Deep down I want to tell them: “I don’t care; it matters little;” but I don’t have the heart to be that blunt… After all, as a trainer and coach, I am driven to inspire Realtors to produce Results on the internet!!!

So what is the truth???

Design and Aesthetics do matter… But if you are lacking function and strategy the exercise is for NOT!!!

If your efforts don’t lead to Google Visibility then you are worried about being “liked” and not focused on what your Buyers, Sellers, and Search Engines care for most!!! (In fact, I say: “Google forces you to take care of your clients… so, will you?”)

Your Real Estate Strategy must lead to Google and back to your Real Estate Tools and Services, the ones your customers are craving… So please talk about design and looks, and do get excited when your logo and your photo look good, but let’s not pretend that’s The Journey you are supposed to undertake to succeed online…

I hate the term SEO, Search Engine Optimization, because it leads many to think that Internet Visibility is a rigged game… but time and time again I have proven to brokers and realtors that such visibility is organic… so ask yourself: how can I serve my buyers and sellers in my local Real Estate Market… emphasis on “Local…”

So are you asking such questions?

As a previous Art Director for an advertising Agency in New York City with 10 years of experience I am here to tell you that most Realtors and Brokers are focused on the wrong thing… do you want me to share a secret with you… you are not going to like it… but if you have read this far then I owe you that much… Advertisers and Marketers understand that Real Estate Professionals are vane: “Their ego is bigger than their business…” so if you want to sell them something show them goods and services that promote their name, pictures, and egos and they will pay you a bundle of money… in fact many of them are told and believe: “The Real Estate Business is about the Realtor – not the customers…”

Am I right?

The days of the web being about your ego are over unfortunately… The internet pays those who serve their Buyers and Sellers with Internet tools that are localized and lead to the satisfaction of the user… and at the heart of it is Google… Are you trained to go beyond your ego???

So is this Blog Self-serving… YES!!!

I want your broker to hire to train you on the right Web Strategy… and ask you to be as candid with your clients as I am with you… they can read your intention anyway… so be competent and honest!!! Ask the Realtors and Brokers who have attended my Training Seminars and you will understand that they are in touch with something larger than products and vendors...

I welcome your comments… and truly wish you the best in 2009!!!

“What a fabulous training session!! Knowing that I needed to get on the website “bus” before it got completely out of sight was my motivation to attend your training session here in Charlotte on January 5th. My 2009 motto: New Year and New Strategies for Success. I not only learned valuable information that I will be able to put to use right away ( Can you say Blogging..Where Content is King!) you have excited me about diving in to this heretofore scary place. After your enthusiastic and thorough training, the only people who aren’t motivated to get rolling with this are either dead or in a coma. Thank you and I look forward to your next training session here in Charlotte in February.” - Joan Hileman.

“Your Web Strategy training was one of the best trainings I’ve ever taken. I’m so glad I attended. The information was exactly what I’ve been looking for and your style of teaching is superb. With your sheer enthusiasm and extremely valuable information, I would find it truly impossible for anyone to fall asleep in one of your classes! I look forward to your class on Blogging. Thank you so much!” - Nancy Winters.

Exit Realtors in Charlotte Start year with a 6-hour Real Estate Web Strategy Training

Exit Realty Advantage of Charlotte North Carolina hosted a Web Strategy training 1/6/2009 led by Key Yessaad and well-attended by 27 Realtors from the region. The training focused on Internet Marketing and strategies for critical “Google Positioning” and of the removal of the illusion that marketing and Internet marketing are two separate entities. Windi Brady and her office Exit Realty Advantage were the driving force behind this training; participating from the host office were: David Brenizer, Debbie Brewer, John C. Martin, Paris Michelle Morgan, and Nancy Winters. The office of John Byers, Exit Realty South, brought seven agents: Debby Byers, Krista Cutler, Tamera Foxx, Shirley Ghorshi, Karen R. Gillespie, and Joan Hileman. Kimberlye B. Privette, of Exit Home Team Realty, was joined by four realtors: Cassandra Brunson, Shannon Griffith, Sonya Leonard, and Lori Marlow. The rest of Exit participants drove from far distances and were: Linda Batchelor, Michele Canora, Lizette Constance, Suzi Daugherty, Susan Duncan, Vernon Jackson, Jason Jacques, Andy McPherson, and Ruth Watts.

“I loved your Web Strategy class in Charlotte, NC. It was phenomenal!! Your energy and enthusiasm is contagious. Your passion for what you do reveals your ability to teach and empower everyone that attends your classes. I can't wait for the next class!!! Much Success!” - Suzi Davis Daugherty.

Key I want to thank you for coming to Charlotte and helping all of us at EXIT Premier. Andy was EXTREMELY impressed and said after so many years in real estate I have never had a class that gave so much knowledge.
As for me well, I think your the VERY BEST. Exit did a GREAT job by having you teach us what we need to learn. I am implimenting everything you gave us in the class. As a matter of fact I am waitting for Jyl to call me back.
You're awesome and I love you. Thanks for everything! You are the BOMB!!!!!
Cant wait to attend another one of your training classes! - Lizette Constance.

"Thank you so much for offering this training on web strategy. It is great to see your passion and enthusiasm. I would recommend any agent that has the time and energy to invest in their web strategy and their business to sign up for the next class available with Key. In fact I would recommend it sooner than later because one day soon Key will figure out the info is near priceless and he might try to charge what it is worth! (Ha Ha) You can pay thousands to the big SEO companies or you take the classes offered by Key and do it yourself." - Jason Jacques.

“I attended Key's Real Estate Web Strategy Class yesterday (01-06-09) and learned so much. I would like to take another classes just to "get" what I do not think that I grasped completely. His class is well worth the time and I would highly recommend it to any Agent or Broker.” – Shannon Griffith.

“Thank you so much for yesterday’s information. Not only was it informative BUT DO-ABLE! I look forward to you coming back and giving us some more information that we can really use!!!” - Debbie Brewer.

Key, This looks fantastic. I have heard nothing but great things about the training. Keep up the good work, and thank you very much for all your hard work. Thanks again. - E. Michael Washburn - Regional Owner of Exit Realty in North and South Carolina.

Email from Greg Bennett at Exit Realty Beaufort SC to Regional Owner: "Incredible, barely describes the level of expertise of Key Yessaad.
I have personally met with web designers, programmers, IT gurus, etc. Their combined knowledge doesn't even equal the holistic approach of Key's understanding of the web.
I have spent tens of 1,000s of dollars for the "perfect" website and lead capture systems, with poor results.
After attending a 4 hour Blog training session with Key, I posted 2 Blogs and was on page 1 of Google in position 1,2 4 and 6 and had 2 sellers contact me within 72 hours !!
After Keys 4 hour Web Strategy class I finally knew that all the self proclaimed experts in the field that I had paid big bucks to, were mostly versed in only one aspect of the web. Key's knowledge of the WEB is the most comprehensive I have ever encountered and he clearly articulates his expertise in a manner that anyone can understand.
Key empowered my agents to ask WEB companies the critical questions to have a WEB site that truly produces results and can organically create quality leads without spending a fortune. He also frees the agents from being dependant on the WEB master that they are at the mercy of.
Any EXIT agent or broker, who thinks they know how the web works with respect to real estate, really needs to attend Key's training. They will find out how much they actually never knew. If Key was able to put 5 North Carolina EXIT offices on page 1 of Google Just imagine what he can do for all of Exit as an International Franchise.
Brokers, owners and agents should not delay in scheduling Key."
