As you know, I teach real estate technology courses nationwide.  I am a Senior Instructor for the Council of Residential Specialist’s CRS 206 two day technology course, and I recently taught the 206 in Atlanta.  We had a full house, a great group, and lots of learning took place, as usual.

It is always a thrill to hear from students who use the tools we cover in the course, and I want to share one email I got from a student in the Atlanta course.  She’s Maura Carey Neill, CRS, a partner in the Gebhardt Group of RE/MAX Greater Atlanta.  You can see their #1 Expert Web site here.  Note how they have customized the site as well as taking advantage of #1 Expert’s standard features.

Here’s Maura’s note letting me know how she’s using one of the free programs we covered in class:

“Hi, Allen!

“I was in your CRS Technology class in Atlanta this summer. Just wanted to thank you again for introducing me to Issuu.com.  What a great tool!  Just thought I’d pass along to you a few things I’ve created so that you can see what a great influence/instructor you are (as if you didn’t already know)!

“You can see a brochure I did for my team here, and here’s a brochure I created for a nonprofit that I’m on the Board for.  There’s still a learning curve, but it’s a really great tool and it’s fun technology to use.

“Thanks again.  I hope you’re doing well, catching lots of fish and enjoying your cultural outings with Miss Ellie.  I hope to take another course with you soon!”

A good testimonial to the CRS 206, real estate’s best course if you want to know what tech tools to use and how to use them!

One final point: here’s Maura’s signture from her email.  I hope you, too, are using your signature as a marketing piece.  Note how she incorporates her Web site, blog and how to reach her on three social networks:

Summing up, it made my day to get Marua’s email and to see how the course is paying benefits for her!

It’s a great day here on the lake in Reston…hope it’s a great day wherever you are, too!
