Engage With Leads To Make The Right First Impression
Many real estate agents spend the first year of their careers "chasing down leads."
The process starts by telling everyone you know that you're now a real estate agent. From there, hours of in-person networking are usually used to fill the funnel. But the truth is, most of these people aren't leads in the technical sense. They are prospects, people you only hope are interested.
Someone becomes a lead when they raise their hand in one way or another and signal that they really are interested in your services. They may not be prepared to buy or sell right now, but they do care to hear more. These relationships can be deepened until the lead becomes a customer.
This is a crucial distinction for real estate in particular.

Strategies For Using Technology: Best-in-Breed VS. All-in-One
As I sit in my home office, I find myself gazing out the front bay windows staring at the bright green grass that's starting to grow, the Bartlett pear trees that are beginning to flower, the pine trees blowing in the wind and the oak trees lining the streets. Spring is finally here after what seems to have been a long Ohio winter.
The picturesque, almost mesmerizing view is perfect for clarity breaks. It makes me think of past times; it's hard to believe that Delta Media Group® turned 28-years-old this year. I don't know if there is a dog-years equivalent for technology firms, but 28 years seems like 100 in "technology years."
This got me thinking about how Delta has evolved into an all-in-one provider. In 1994, the journey started with simple real estate websites that contained property photos an...

Is Tech Taking Over? Why Agents Are More Important Than Ever
Real estate technology is moving faster than ever, and some agents are beginning to wonder if they'll be left behind. Big industry players have made moves to automate real estate in disruptive ways — but, in the long run, they've only succeeded in "disrupting" their own business.
It is becoming more obvious that the average buyer or seller doesn't want a fully AI-driven process, nor do they want to do it all themselves, no matter how convenient the tools become. What they want is personalized advice from a local expert.
Rather than replacing agents, the best technology enhances what they can do.
More Accessible Technology Means Better Results for Organizations of All Sizes
It was not that long ago when the best technology was available o...

What Your Marketing Says About You
Marketing is vital to the success of any real estate business, from individual agents and the smallest boutique firms to the largest national brands. But is your marketing sending the message that you intend? Just as importantly, is it differentiating your services from the competition in a meaningful way? Now is the perfect time to take a fresh look at your marketing and make sure that it says exactly what you want it to say about you.
Consistency Is Key
In the rush to grab the attention of your audience, it can be easy to forget that one of the most important goals of marketing is simply to get them to remember you. Not just your logo, but your business, what it has to offer, and how you can help them. When someone from your target audience in your target markets sees your marketing materials in any setting, you...

Haring Realty: A Leap of Faith
Nearly 40 years ago, a school principal took a leap of faith and started a small real estate firm in Mansfield, Ohio.
They say it's never too late in life to switch gears and try something new. While many people talk about changing their careers, very few actually do it once they get comfortable. Arnold Haring, an Ohio elementary school principal, started selling real estate as a side business in the late 70s. A decade later, in 1983, Haring Realty was born. Now, nearly 40 years after the firm's conception, Haring Realty is led by Arnold's son, Peter, and is still operating in Ohio. Arnold's courage to make the change led to success for both himself and his family.
"My dad started the business. He was an elementary school principal, and he decided he wanted to earn a little extra income,...
