Those of you who have been in our classes already know the importance of getting up to speed on new internet listing databases in real estate. Last week we had the opportunity to talk with Mark Lampe about his new listing database site MyHomeMatching.Com which has launched nationally.

This site is FREE to real estate professionals and opens a new marketing potential for you. This was site was built by former programmers from Microsoft and its operation is pretty flawless. It has some truly unique features and a much robust search capacity for homeowners than does Realtor.Com, Zillow or Trulia.

It is easy to put your listing information into the site, and unlike other listing databases where your information is canabalized and restructured from internet syndication services such as ListHub or Point2 Agent, this site allow you to remain in total control of your listing information. You can easily upload photos, videos and links. We encourage you to give it a try. We will be mentioning and discussing use of this site in many of our classes. In fact we will discuss it this week in our new class, Get on Board – Trends in Real Estate on the Tucson Association Cruise to Mexico. You got to love it when a new product goes above and beyond.

Len & Theresa are honored to have been hired by The Oklahoma Real Estate Commission to help their state train professional real estate instructors. We will be presenting “Making Ideas Sticky” as a 6 hour Instructor Development Workshop in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Thursday, April 21, 2011..

We will be helping fellow instructors during this Instructor Development Workshop (IDW) hone and improve their course delivery and presentation  skills. They will experience the fun and excitement of understanding why students remember certain concepts and forget others, know how to use tools and skill sets to increase student retention, and discover how to make their presentations more memorable. Instuctors attending the workshop should contact the Oklahoma Real Estate Commission.

Since we are in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area we would love the opportunity to do a presentation, class, course or keynote for your brokerage, organization or company. There is no more affordable time to hire us than when we are in your area.
