Tell me more about the training and education

This is the most important part of REAL- success.org. All agents, regardless of experience, should be taking advantage of every opportunity possible to increase their knowledge. All of the training modules, strategies and tips, literally hundreds of them, are prepared by some of the most successful real estate agents nationwide.

They all are presented in audio and video format online, by topic, so that members can refer to them as they choose, when they choose. You pick the subject, and view it when you want to. There are no formal, group sessions to attend; nor do you have to sit through a training session that may not apply to you. And these modules are constantly being updated, sharing ideas guaranteed to increase members' productivity and income.

Who are the people who actually create and present the training and education modules?

There are over 150 brokers and agents that participate in the training and education program - - - and more are being added every month. These include top producers from all over the country, who are happy to share their revenue-generating ideas and strategies with other agents. To view just a few of these trainer's profiles, click here.

I've been in the industry for over twenty years. What can I learn?

Is the market the same as it was when you first started your real estate career? Has it changed in the last couple of years? Will it change tomorrow?

No one can keep up with all of the changes real estate agents constantly face. Membership in REAL- success.org gives you one place to go to find out what is happening where, and new, proven ways to address the many and different challenges you face each and every day.

I am the broker-in-charge of a mid-sized agency. Can I take advantage of your services? How will the training features help me?

If you are interested in this program for your agents, please contact us to discuss benefits & group pricing.

What do you mean by "search engine prominence"?

Within 72 hours of being accepted for membership, members' markets will be advertised in Google AdWords. For example, when an agency or agent in Pinehurst, North Carolina goes live, an ad will be placed in Google AdWords under "Pinehurst North Carolina real estate agents", and will be linked to the Pinehurst NC real estate agents page.

How else will prospects find our sites?

REAL- success.org has committed a minimum of 10% of revenues to promote its "consumer" site, Real Estate Referral Network, and individual markets, through online, newspaper and real estate publication advertising - - - all targeted to the consumer.

How do the referrals work?

Referrals may be generated in two ways: 1) From the Real Estate Referral Network website itself and 2) From other REAL- success.org members.

How will I receive the referrals?

As soon as the "Submit" button is pressed by the prospect or referring member, you will receive the request at the email address you designate. Remember - - - no one will receive the referrals except the member(s) listed in that specific market/city.

What happens when I receive a referral from REAL- success.org?

When you receive a referral directly from Real Estate Referral Network, or as a result of the prospect finding your site through this site, you will never pay a referral fee. Any commissions generated from these leads are yours. REAL- success.org never receives referral fees.

What about referrals from other REAL- success.org members?

Normally, if and when agents refer clients to an agent in another city, they simply pick one out of Realtor.com. As REAL- success.org members, however, it is to their advantage to refer prospects to other members, so that they will reciprocate.

As a member of REAL- success.org, you agree to pay a referral fee to the referring agent. This is no different than paying a referral fee to any other licensed referring source. While the "standard" referral fee nationwide seems to average about 25% of the selling-side commission, this fee is always negotiable.

So that means that I will receive a referral fee from any member agency or agent that closes a sale to a prospect that I referred to them?

Yes, under the same conditions stated above.

You mentioned marketing tools?

Most independent agents do not have access to such things as flyer and brochure templates to feature specific properties, interactive showcases to highlight personal listings, state-of-the-art streaming video email, website creation, etc., without using several separate resources and spending a significant amount of money. REAL- success.org members have access to all types of marketing aids, most at no additional cost. When features do incur additional fees, members can be assured that they are receiving the best value available.

You seem to have all the answers.

Thanks, but we don't. That is why we encourage ongoing questions, thoughts and ideas from our members. REAL- success.org is committed to being the premier real estate service organization in the nation, individual agents.

Did I see the word "Guarantee"?

You certainly did. If, after six months of membership, you do not believe that membership in REAL- success.org has been beneficial, let us know, and your full membership fees will be refunded - - - no questions asked. (Well, we will ask why you are canceling, so that we might become even more effective for our other members.) PLUS, in the event Member does not increase his/her previous year's sale volume by $1 million or more after the first twelve months, his/her membership fees will be refunded. This is how much faith we have in our services.

Membership

I am an AGENT, meaning I work for an agency. Can I become a member?

Absolutely! You can become a member exclusive of the agency you work for - - - and you will be the agent listed in RRN's Real Estate Referral Network, receiving all of the referrals yourself.

I am an individual AGENT, working for a Century 21 agency. Can I be a member of REAL- success.org?

You certainly can, because you are representing yourself, not the agency. As an individual agent member, you are the member, not the agency, and you will be the agent listed in RRN's Real Estate Referral Network, receiving all of the referrals yourself.

What if I already receive training and referrals through our parent agency?

All major franchise companies and even some independents, have some type of training program. But the ongoing training, tips, strategies and education provided by REAL- success.org are produced and provided by other experienced, highly successful agents nationwide - - - your peers - - - and include literally hundreds of relevant topics. REAL- success.org's training and education tools contain real-life solutions and information that your parent company's training does not.

When your agency currently receives referrals, they probably assign them to all of the agents on a rotating basis. If you are the exclusive REAL- success.org member for your market, you will receive all of the referrals generated through Real Estate Referral Network and other REAL- success.org members yourself.

What is to keep me from sharing my username and password with other agents?

Well, to start with, that would be dishonest. REAL- success.org can, of course, monitor the activity of its members in the training and education segments, and spot obvious abuse, however we don't believe that will be necessary.

What are "affiliate" members?

Affiliate members may be mortgage brokers, real estate appraisers, home inspectors, insurance agencies or any other service provider to buyers and sellers of real estate, and are only listed in the Real Estate Referral Network website. The training and education aspects are not designed for affiliate members.

Membership Fees

Okay, let's talk price.

AGENTS: $59.00 Monthly, plus a $100.00 one-time set-up fee.

Can't I get the same services elsewhere, at lower costs?

If you can, please let us know. To our knowledge, there is no other single source, anywhere, that offers the total array of services as REAL- success.org, much less at lower fees.

How do I pay?

Membership and set-up fees may be paid annually or monthly.

All fees are paid through PayPal. PayPal is simply a credit card "middleman", and you do not need to have a PayPal account to use their service. If you do have a PayPal account, then you know how to use it. If you don't, you simply pay by credit card, just like any other online credit card purchase.
