Listing Experts Academy RELAUNCH is now open!

Listing Experts Academy RELAUNCH is now open! 

I am getting amazing feedback from the core video trainings I put together for you prior to the relaunch of Listing Experts Academy. 

From Barbara Todaro: 

“Katerina, you have no idea how excited I am that I have your modules and other information about listing and marketing listings….after seeing the amount of information one gets from participating in your Listing Experts Academy, I decided it was NOT equivalent to a Masters program but rather very close to a PhD in this area…. thanks again, Katerina….the material will give me a real “workout”….”

In case you have not signed up to receive your 4 videos I made for you- go here now to start watching: 

http://www.listingexpertsacademy.com/esignup/

Here is what you will be learning inside of the 4 training videos which you can access without a credit card: 

Video 1: The 4 Core Essentials of a Top Listing Agent

Video 2: How to become an Authority in your Niche 

Video 3: Tech Savvy Agents get more listings and you can too! 

Video 4: Moving forward- what your lifetime membership in Listing Experts Academy includes.

After you sign up for Listing Experts Academy you will have access to my private Facebook group for members only which is a huge support group where you will learn a lot and be able to ask questions. I am in the group every day helping to answer your questions. 

You will also have access to all the Listing Experts Academy core modules from our last live sessions which were all recorded. This will give you a great head start for when we start our relaunch of the live sessions. 

You will also have access to your main bonus course which is Fast Track SEO! This is a very in-depth SEO course which will change the course of your online marketing. Just ask anyone who has completed these courses. 

Listing Experts Academy will be all live webinar trainings for 9 modules plus Question and Answer sessions over the webinar platform where you get to ask questions. All these will be recorded so long as we don't have recording issues with the gotowebinar platform, which has happened on occasion but not very often. If we ever have a recording issue I will redo the main module by screencast and the post the module however the Q& A part obviously would be lost. I have 3 people recording the trainings so 99% of the time we end up with a recording. I just like everyone to be aware that technology glitches can and do happen. 

Yes, there is a lot of content because I believe in under-promising and over-delivering. 

No, you don't have to do it all. One of the perks of being in Listing Experts Academy is being able to hire the virtual assistant team I trained to do all the tasks in Listing Experts Academy. If you are a busy broker or team leader or a solo agent you will get the systems to delegate to the team. 

In order to be a successful real estate agent in this technology age of doing business I can not stress enough how important it is for you to gain some type of online marketing knowledge. You must make the time. 

At the very least you must do your avatar work, know your target niche market and keywords and then map out a strategy to get your online marketing up and running correctly and efficiently. 

The core course training in Listing Experts Academy consists of:

• Module 1: Avatar Deep Training

 

• Module 2: Niche Markets Deep Dive 

 

• Module 3: Listing Presentations 

• Module 4: Expired Listings 

• Module 5: Open Houses 

• Module 6: Branding 

• Module 7: Reputation Management 

• Module 8: Mental Triggers 

• Module 9: Bonus Training: Facebook Marketing 

To find out more about each of these modules please watch video #4 in your training videos. 

Every Listing Experts Academy member also receives my Fast Track SEO course which replaced my SEO To The Top course. This course will work for newbies to experienced bloggers and SEO knowledge.

From Stephanie Anson, Broker: 

“When google required all websites to be mobile friendly I missed the deadline to convert my site for several months.  

Due to this delay in making the necessary changes to a mobile friendly theme and update my SEO, I fell from page 1 to page 3 on google.

I was very behind on SEO updates and retook Katerina Gasset’s SEO webinars and applied the recommended changes to my site.  It took me about 12 hours to clean up the site, fix the SEO and get rid of what might cause google to flag my website (what was previously considered optimal for rankings). 

It took about a week after the changes that it went from page 3 back to being in the top three on page 1.  It just shows how a little bit of dedication and applying the correct techniques Katerina teaches to rank once again!  Thanks Katerina, I am a fan for life!”

You also receive surprise bonus trainings. I love to surprise my members with relevant listing experts content. Some of the bonuses are YouTube SEO and Image SEO. 

Just a couple days ago I had this strong impression to add a bonus training to Listing Experts Academy which is: Blab and Periscope for Real Estate. So I am now adding that bonus training to be included in the LEA course.

There are only 21 seats remaining because there were 2 agents who jumped on board right before the doors opened. I only allow 23 new members in live webinar settings so that you each can feel like you are being paid attention to. Then 

Sign up to watch your free training videos here: 

http://www.listingexpertsacademy.com/esignup/

Then watch your email for the delivery of each of your 4 videos. They come every other day in your email inbox. So please check! Don't miss out on any of these videos! 

When you get to the fourth video you can sign up for Listing Experts Academy. There will be a button to click to sign up on the 4th video web page. 

I look forward to seeing you in class! Teaching is my passion and making a difference in the lives of others is my life's work. Watching the members grow really brings a smile to my face and a tear to my eye. I wish each and every one of you the wildest and best success you are designed to achieve! 

See you at the top!

• You are an agent moving up in price ranges of listings to earn more income with less sales 

• You are an agent with no experience in SEO or internet marketing but understands the real deal that the internet is the future of real estate and so is ready to learn and apply effective strategies

• You are a tech savvy agent who wants to get more listings from online positioning 

• You are a broker who want to offer technology to your agents to stay ahead of your competitors

In the 3rd video after the training I will explain what we do in Listing Experts Academy and all the upgrades to this one of a kind training program. 

This is very exciting as we get ready to RELAUNCH the LIVE webinar trainings in Listing Experts Academy.

On October 8th at 10 a.m. the doors will open for Listing Experts Academy for a very short time!

Because these are live webinar trainings that we will be starting..

I am limiting the number of new members. I will only allow 23 new members to join us in our best academy ever, Listing Experts Academy.    

There is no other training like this specifically for listing agents in the real estate industry. 

Listing Experts Academy was created for real estate agents who want to get more listings from their: 

• Internet marketing 
• Listing Syndication 
• Listing Presentations 
• Expired Listings 
• SEO and Social Media 
• Press Releases 
• Dominating your market niche 
• Becoming an authority in your market 
• Reputation management 
• and more… 

Traditional marketing is on its way out and internet marketing and positioning your brand is where the future of marketing is going. Content marketing is the fastest growing occupation and the most requested hire of companies today. Content marketing services charge between $3,000 and $20,000 per month for small to mid-size companies. So for a solo real estate agent you are looking at about $3,000 per month. This is on the low side. 

So moving forward you have 2 choices- hire a content marketer in-house or outsource the work OR learn how to do this work yourself and then delegate the parts of it that make sense to outsource. 

I am so excited to share these 3 free videos with you and hope you gain a lot of knowledge from them!

Google Sends Notices – Your Site is NOT Mobile Friendly

Google Webmaster Tools is sending out notices to let you know your website is not mobile-friendly. 

They ask you in the notice to follow the steps to make sure your website is mobile-friendly. 

If you do not make your website mobile-friendly Google will not have your website indexed for mobile search. 

What that means is that you will still be on the search engine for your keywords when people search from their desktop computers but you will not be visible to those same people if they search on their smart phones or iPads. 

 

Making your site mobile-friendly in most cases is very simple and you can do it yourself. 

 

Don't get sucked into those companies that call you to charge you big bucks to make your website mobile-friendly. 

 

If your site is hosted on WordPress, it is as simple as updating your theme. If you are using any of the WordPress themes that come with WordPress installations they are mobile friendly. 

 

If you have purchased a theme from another company – they should have an update for you which makes the theme mobile-friendly. 

 

Here is the link to the Google Developers guide on making your site mobile-friendly: 

 

https://developers.google.com/webmasters/mobile-sites/get-started/

 

They have solutions for most kinds of websites: wordpress, joomla, etc. 

 

After you complete the steps you can check your website at this URL to see if it passes the Google test for mobile-friendly: 

https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/

 

The page looks like this: 

With so much search these days coming from mobile devices don't get left out! 

Make sure that your website is mobile-friendly!

BROKERS BEWARE: Do You Use Drones for Your Listing Photography?

BROKERS BEWARE: Do You Use Drones for Your Listing Photography? 

When we were at our homeschool convention in Orlando we took Tristan to his first “rock concert”. It was a Christian rock band playing for the attendees of the convention. I noticed a photographer at the front side of the stage controlling a drone with his remote. 

I was amazed at this technology as I watched the drone flying above the crowd taking video. I thought about how many agents use this same technology for taking images of their listings. The fly over drones take very good photos and you get a great in depth perception of the lay out of the land. I also of course, being me, thought about how everything that is invented can be used for good or evil. I thought about the intrusions in our personal lives and privacy by governments using drones. There is ying and yang. 

Now, the FAA ( Federal Aviation Administration) has issues subpoenas to real estate brokers for using drones to take images of their listings. The FAA just went after several New York City brokers. The FAA is issuing fines for unlawfully using drones as drones are considered flightcraft NOT model airplanes. 

The FAA does not allow the use of drones for commercial uses. Federal law outlaws this. As with most government rules, they fall behind the times and technology advances so the best thing to do for now is to stop using your drones until the FAA creates the rules for commercial uses of drones. 

They do allow hobby drones and have also given police and first responders some rights in using drones. 

The National Association of REALTORS® has warned real estate brokers and agents to NOT use drones for getting pictures of their listings until the FAA releases rules about using the drones. The FAA is expected to release their rules in the later part of 2015. 

If you use drones in your real estate business you take the risk of getting fined by the FAA if they find out. How can they find out? Of course, your listing's neighbors can call them:). Be careful out there!

NAR’s Lawsuit Against the Big Z Update

NAR's Lawsuit Against the Big Z Update- 

A superior court judge granted a preliminary injunction against Z over the hiring of Errol Samuelson.

Errol Samuelson was President of REALTOR®.com and the chief strategy officer of Move, Inc.

The National Association of REALTORS® filed a lawsuit for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and violating trade secrets against z and Samuelson. 

There were some other companies that joined in the lawsuit against z: Move and Top Producer.

The injunction keeps Samuelson from selling leads to real estate agents, brokers and real estate franchises. The injunction also includes not selling websites to real estate agents for 6 months. He is also prevented from trying to get any direct feeds or listing data from MLS systems.

NAR is very happy about the injunction and says that they will protect member services and protect the interests of of REALTORS®.

Interesting developments are happening in the real estate industry. We will see how this lawsuit plays out.

It is important that real estate agents and brokers stay informed in industry related issues especially those that may impact your business.
