“The best option for marketing that I have seen in months”
Posted by mbarrus in Success Stories, Testimonials on October 21st, 2010
Helen Kacur, Coldwell Banker:
Thank you for bringing the CB Connect program to our intown office in Atlanta. It is the best option for marketing that I have seen in months. I was at a party just last weekend with people who were talking about how email is a time drain and talking on the phone is so 2006. And so, I welcome the opportunity to tap into mobile marketing through text messages, since text is now the preferred form of communication in 2010! So glad I attended the class.
“[Virtual Agent] put a nice size check in my pocket”

Stephen Greenidge, Coldwell Banker:
I set an appointment to meet with a FSBO for a $500,000 listing. They had met with several agents already, so when I met with them they had already heard all of the “Traditional Marketing” techniques that agents use. But when I told them about CB Mobile Connect their eyes just lit up. They were so fascinated by the technology and how different it was that they gave me the listing. It sold in 26 days and I put a nice size check in my pocket.
[Virtual Agent] leads are by far the best lead in the real estate and mortgage industry
Posted by mbarrus in Testimonials on August 26th, 2010
Jared Schneider, Axiom Financial:
CB connect leads are by far the best lead in the real estate and mortgage industry. Can you really ask for a more qualified lead than a person who is out actively calling on properties and requesting for more information? Internet leads are expensive and are most of the time non-exclusive. People are clicking all over the web and requesting “free info”. Leads coming from CB connect are real potential clients that are most of the time only calling on a few properties at a time. Figure out the ROI for yourself and you’ll see how this program is a no brainer.
I took one of the riders with me to ‘wow’ some potential sellers. They loved it! The seller said, ‘This is slick.’

Elizabeth Vasti, Coldwell Banker:
Dear Carol,
Just a quick note to encourage you as you market your virtual agent riders:
About a month ago, I bought five of the riders, just to try them. At first, I wasn’t getting any calls, but now the buyers have started calling. In one week, I had five inquiries on only two riders. Of the five, I was able to put two buyers into my Listingbook account.
Today, I took one of the riders with me to “wow” some potential sellers. They loved it! The seller said, “This is slick.” That was before I showed him how his name and phone number showed up on my phone immediately.
I wish you all the best as you market this great tool! I love virtual agent.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth
Jim had a prospect call him off the rider and they are working with him exclusively for a $200,000 purchase

Sue Flaig, Coldwell Banker, Florida:
Carol, once again, thank you for the extra effort you gave my agents yesterday. I thought you’d enjoy a little story. Jim Chapman, new agent (experienced in sales in other fields previously) subscribed to Virtual Agent the first time you presented to my Clearwater group. He’s the one I told the story about to the Tarpon group… he was so excited and wanted to show me what a super tool it was and did demonstrate it for me. Well, the attached message came with a photo of the For Sale sign with the 866 rider attached to it (his first listing already under contract in less than 25 days). Jim had had a prospect call him off the rider, he has ‘captured’ them and they are working with him exclusively for a $200,000 purchase.
How’s that for a success story!
I’m loving Virtual Agent and looking forward to beating out my competition again!

Robin Kaplan, Coldwell Banker, California:
Good Morning John,
I wanted to thank you for introducing our office to a fabulous new marketing product that has already generated business for me.
Virtual Agent was able to convert a seller who was going to list with my competition the day it was presented at our office meeting. Right after our meeting I sent an email to this client asking them to test drive the product using the virtual agents demo site. They were so impressed with this unique marketing tool, they immediately called me to let me know they were listing with me right away.
These sellers could see that this marketing tool provided excellent quality photos instantly to their cell phone and allowed me to capture the buyers contact info unlike conventional flyers on the sign.
I’m impressed with the cost of Virtual Agent vs color flyers that disappear from the sign box without the ability to stay connected to the buyers who take them.
I’m loving Virtual Agent and looking forward to beating out my competition again!
PS…This listing went pending in 7 days!!!
Thanks Again,
Robin Kaplan

[Virtual Agent] is a product that agents should utilize to maximize their marketing potential now and in years to come.

Laura Lanke, Coldwell Banker, Wisconsin:
On May 27th, 2010 Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage – Wisconsin Region held its annual Marketing and Training Expo. The expo was attended by approximately 120 agents and Managers, featured a number of topics and break-out sessions one of which was conducted by Scott Tanner – CB Mobile Connect. Scott’s session was one of the agent favorites as it brought a new facet of marketing that was embraced with great enthusiasm. Scott’s presentation was very professional and informative; a welcome addition to the day’s events. CB Mobile Connect is a product that agents should utilize to maximize their marketing potential now and in years to come.
The sky is the limit to how many leads you can generate

John Leles, Coldwell Banker Managing Broker:
Scott,
Your presentation was fantastic. The Virtual agent is incredible, and definitely a listing tool. I am so excited that a lot of my agents immediately signed up with your company. I really see a vision of this being huge for the agents even the ones working with buyers. I was very impressed with being able to tract all of the text message and hits onto my site. If I was back into sales this would definitely be the tool for me to have. I know many more of my agents will sign up for this great program. I really believe that the sky is the limit to how many leads you can generate.
Thank you again Scott for such a great presentation of a great tool.
Your product was an eye opener and a refreshing angle for the seller

Tony Fennoy, Lyon Real Estate, Sacramento:
The presentation that I had on Sunday went well and I got the listing. Your
product was an eye opener and a refreshing angle for the seller. They
thought it was a good idea for buyers to obtain info on the house. They
were impressed with the presentation.Thank you
[As a listing tool, Virtual Agent] sealed the deal in the face of three competitors
Posted by mbarrus in Testimonials on January 14th, 2010
Robert Fling, Lyon Real Estate:
I thought that I would share my first listing presentation using Virtual Agent. As I conclude my listing presentation I close with my “11 unique reasons you should list with me”. I now have number 12 as the closer: the Virtual Agent demo.
This was a 60 something tech savvy client that was blown away with the potential of reaching and capturing mobile enhanced buyers in favor of just the use of passive flyers. I used portions of your presentation and then showed him how it works. It sealed the deal in the face of three competitors.
This was especially potent because this home is in a gated community and the sign will be outside the gate at a convenient location for viewing for all.
As another anecdote, one seller asked me if I had any new marketing ideas for 2010 that would get us more showings. I am going to use Virtual Agent to not only address that point but also to prompt a price reduction. I have baited the hook and am waiting for my review meeting with them.
I encouraged her to take a [Virtual Agent] sign with her to use in her presentation. She wound up getting the listing.

Brianne Hill, Marketing Coordinator, Coldwell Banker:
As I mentioned before, I had an agent who was going to a listing presentation the next day for a couple that was interviewing four agents from different companies. I encouraged her to take a Coldwell banker connect sign with her to use in her presentation. She wound up getting the listing. I definitely believe that a part of that was her ability to show how tech savvy Coldwell banker is and how we’re on top of the market.
I am working on a loan RIGHT now that came from [Virtual Agent]

Mark Wright, Axiom Financial, LLC:
Hey Guys
Just wanted to keep you in the loop and let you know that I am working on a loan RIGHT now that came from CB Connect. I was thinking of you as I am working on it. Of course it is not closed yet, but clients thought that there was no way they could get a house, little did they know that they have great credit and we get them a Utah Housing loan for first time home buyers with no money down!!
Anyways, just thought I would share the word! This tool works we just have to be patient sometimes I guess!!!
An effective and professional service, at extremely low cost, for property marketing and lead generation

Brett Poulsen, Broker/Attorney:
My name is Brett Poulsen and I am a real estate broker and real estate attorney in Salt lake City, Utah. I joined Virtual Agent a little more than one year ago. I have been very impressed with Virtual Agent. It offers an effective and professional service, at extremely low cost, for property marketing and lead generation. The instant that a potential buyer calls for information on one of your properties, they receive it, text and pictures to their telephone, and you are notified, via text and email, of their telephone number for additional follow up at your convenience. Let’s see your more expensive outside flyers provide these benefits.
[Virtual Agent] is an amazing tool for both realtors and loan officers
Posted by rwarner in Testimonials on August 31st, 2009
Mark Wright—Loan Officer, Axiom Financial, LLC:
Coldwell Banker Connect is an amazing tool for both realtors and loan officers. I have had a lot of success with this new technology. Most people want an easy and comfortable home buying experience and how convenient that they can get most this information upfront via text. I have had a lot of opportunities to reach out to clients just by the touch of my cell phone.
The other great thing about CB Connect / Virtual Agent is that it has enabled me to better my relationships with my realtor partners. It is nice to know that we are both getting the same leads and are working together. For example, I had an actionable lead come over; I had them preapproved while the clients were still sitting in their cars at the home. I called the realtor who had the home listed and gave them the info. They happened to be out of town and had no idea that the lead came over. When I emailed the real estate agent a preapproval letter and said here is a client for you, they were ecstatic!! This client currently is searching for properties and will hopefully close soon. This tool works and I am so excited to see how it will help my business grow.

This is the best add-on to my business in my 12 year career
Posted by wcooper in Testimonials on April 11th, 2009
Linda Davis, Prudential Utah Real Estate
My first experience with Virtual Agent was actually a test before I signed up. I was able to get my hands on a sign and take it on a listing presentation where I was competing with 5 other agents. After viewing the home I explained to the seller that most all agents do the same thing to get a home sold, flyers, mls, tours, web pages, there was really nothing to differentiate agents aside from personality and experience.
However I had found a new tool that would allow me to stay in touch with potential buyers instead of sending them off with a flyer and having no communication with them for the future events of selling a home, like price reductions, open houses etc… After demonstrating the virtual agent I was still a little unsure of its potential as a listing tool as the seller said they had one more interview that was already promised for the following Saturday night.
Well sat came and went Sunday came and went and on Monday morning the seller called me and said that they were so impressed that I had something different to offer that they wanted me to list the property. Needless to say I hurried into the office and called the rep to sign me up. This is the best add-on to my business in my 12 year career. Thanks Virtual Agent …
