Calling Fort Collins

Monday, October 19th, 2009 by Bob Connors

We’re looking for some new agents in the  Fort Collins, Colorado area.  If you or one of your friends or family members would like to join the Real-a-Save team then please email us at bob@realasave.com, or simply call 303-415-2541.

Why would someone want to join our team?

  • Help your clients save a ton of money.  It’s a no-brainer in my opinion.
  • Experience: you’ll close a higher volume of deals, and will gain more experience, thus becoming a better agent.  Period.  There’s really no faking experience.
  • Best technology and tools: maybe you’re an agent who is not up to date on things like digital signatures, blogging, social media, electronic contracts, virtual offices.  We’ll show you how to use these tools in ways that your clients will love and you’ll appreciate.
  • A place on our site: you’ll get your own agent page on our website, giving your clients access to the best Colorado map search around.  Try it, you’ll like it!
  • Systems: we’ll train you on the best client management systems, blogging, work-flow, and advertising.

Real-a-Save is a great company- sure, I’m biased because I own the company, but I really believe in what I’m doing.  I love coming in to work- which is much more than I can say about my time in a traditional real estate company.  The traditional company is set up to benefit the Brokerage.  That’s it.  The brokerage employs as many Broker Associates as possible (reminiscent of “Boiler Room“) and hopes that a few of them will pan out.  They charge lopsided splits of up to 50% or more.  Then there’s the whole “administrative fee”…but I’ve already written about that one and it’s a total joke.  Not here.  You’ll keep at least 90% of what you earn, and there’s no “administrative fee”.

So pass along this post if you’ve got a friend who works the Fort Collins real estate market, or just tell them to email me at bob@realasave.com.  And remember that we’ve got the best Colorado rebate program around where home buyers receive 50% of our commission, see www.realasave.com for more details.

Episode #26: The Rebaters are Coming

Thursday, September 24th, 2009 by Bob Connors

So far, Real-a-Save has been providing services in the Denver and Boulder real estate markets, with the occasional deal in Colorado Springs, Summit County, and Fort Collins. But we have received some interest from agents in other states who would like to bring this concept to consumers in their area.

It seems inevitable that the real estate industry will undergo some serious changes over the coming years. I believe that the economic crisis will have a lasting effect on consumers in this country. People seem much more focused on saving money wherever possible. From groceries to gasoline to real estate fees. Our business seems poised to grow in this new economy.

When consumers are given the choice of two relatively similar products where one of those products offers significant savings, which one will they choose? There really is no difference between the services offered by a traditional Realtor and the services offered by Real-a-Save. Sure, we don’t hold open houses for our sellers. And yes, we ask our buyers to do some of the initial searching on their own. But that’s it. We offer an incredible level of service while simultaneously saving consumers thousands of dollars.

Let us know if you’d like to see Real-a-Save in your city or state. Email bob@realasave.com with requests or questions.

Feature Rich Environment

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007 by Bob Connors

the bobsIs that like saying “robust paradigm”? I hate to sound like an overpaid management
consultant, but we’ve really tried to pack our new website with lots of
features. We’ve tried to make it (ack) a feature rich environment.

One of our goals when we launched Real-a-Save was to make it as quick and
easy for visitors to get as much information as possible, without forcing our
visitors to jump through hoops to get that information. We also wanted to offer
home buyers and sellers all of the information they’d need in one convenient
place. We tried to follow the “build it and they will come” philosophy made
famous in that little baseball movie.

Here are a few of the features offered on our site:

  1. Search the entire Front Range MLS from Ft. Collins real estate, Boulder real estate, and Denver real estate, all the way down to Colorado Springs real estate and beyond.
    We’ve created an easy-to-use map-based search feature that allows you to hover
    over the area you want to search, set your criteria, and then see all the
    available properties.

  2. Preview the property without leaving the map page. This feature allows you
    to get a quick feel for the property without losing the context of where the
    property is located or navigating away from the main search area. If you don’t
    like the property, just click the next pin on the map and continue your
    search.

  3. Save searches and email updates. You can save as many searches as you
    want, in as many areas as you’d like, and our system will automatically send
    you alerts when a new property is listed in your area.

  4. Show comparable properties and recent sales to help you understand if a
    property is priced right.

  5. Ask an agent a quick question right from the details page.
  6. Comprehensive neighborhood information. Just a click away on our
    neighborhood pages is lots of Boulder neighborhood information, and Denver neighborhood iformation. You can get a feel for the neighborhoods, see some pictures, find out what restaurants, shops and clubs are in the area right from our site. You can also see school statistics and community statistics as well.

We’ll continue to add features to our site. Feel free to email us if you have any suggestions.
