Take Your Business To The Next Level

We recently completed production on a new customer video that showcases successful HouseValues customers from across the country, all talking about the three most important factors that have contributed to their success.

These agents have three things in common:

They plan. All of them think about their business long-term, and develop a business & marketing plan to help them achieve their long term professional and personal goals.

They systematize. All of these successful agents use systems to put as much of their business on autopilot as possible, freeing them to do what they enjoy most.

They innovate. Every successful agent is constantly learning, often from other successful agents, and innovating how they do business to keep their edge and continue growing.

Check out the video here.

Sean has several more leads in process, expecting to close many of these as well. He’s extremely happy and speaks very highly of Market Leader – he likes that it makes the agent accountable - it gives him the reminders and supports him in tracking and following up with all his prospects regularly. As well, he says the emails campaigns are absolutely great, along with the ability to customize them.
