We use PowerPoint everyday. It is an amazing communications tool for creating visual presentations to educate not only students, but your customers, business associates, employees and clients. Those of you who have been in our classes know that we utilize videos a lot and have developed a number of creative ways to them in education.

Next week Theresa and Len are presenting at the national Real Estate Educators Association Conference and Convention in Las Vegas. We are presenting two sessions: one on Making Ideas Sticky and on on How to Use Videos in PowerPoint. We have hung instructional videos for how to technically do this on our YouTube channel. You can access those videos by clicking here if you need additional information.

Or you can simply get everything you need on one easy to use video training CD that walks you through it step by step.

We do everything we can to make Becoming More Successful easy for you!

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.
