I am offering you over 20 years of technology and problem solving experience in the form of one-on-one consultation to help you build an effective technological foundation for your real estate business.
Our lives revolve around digital information. The mountain of tools that you have to choose from can be overwhelming. I can help you lay the ground-work to establish the following for your business:
- Domain Name: Everyone needs a brand and a vision for their real estate business. If you haven’t clearly stated “why” you do what you do, then you may feel directionless and you may end up going nowhere. Having a brand and a domain name that fits your vision, is the first step.
- E-mail solution: Your e-mail should be tied to your domain name. People will take you more seriously in business when you actually have a name for your business, i.e. a Domain Name. It should also run on an efficient and widely supported and utilized system.
- Website Presence: A website is required at this stage in the game. If you’re serious about business, you’ll not only have a website, but it will be a functional site, not a brochure. It will allow your visitors to access the information they want when they want it, and it will be up to date. Any real estate agent who has a website that doesn’t have the ability to search for properties is missing the point.
- Social online presence: Not every social media platform is for you. Some people use them all, some choose one or two. I can help you determine which ones are going to be best for you and help you configure them to work for your specific needs.
- Basic Computer Theory and Training: If you’re just looking

Utilizing the most popular platform in the world, WordPress, I will help you create and host your website and choose a theme that works for you. Once your site is established and published, I will help you maintain the site and teach you how to make some of the simple changes you may need to make from time to time.

If you don’t have those artistic skills and tools of the trade in your back pocket, let me help you put together the graphics and images that your website may require.
E-mail, Document, and Calendar Collaboration
By utilizing Google Apps for Domains (remember, we went over domains above) you’ll have all of Google’s products at your fingertips, including:
- Google’s award winning Gmail interface to manage your domain’s e-mail. That means if your domain name is “superagent.com” then your e-mail would be “whateveryouwant@superagent.com.” This gives you brand recognition and credibility, AND you’re not at the mercy of another company should they go out of business. You’ll always own the domain and the e-mail address we create together.
- A YouTube channel of your very own, where you can upload videos that will help you grow your business.
- Google Drive, a cloud service offering you the ability to create documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, but more importantly the ability to synchronize your contracts, documents, and property photos to all of your connected devices, computers, phones, tablets, etc., and access them wherever you have an internet connection.
- Group collaboration, document sharing, and calendar sharing. It’s all part of Google Apps for Domains.
