Love skiing? Come to Vancouver. Love golfing? Come to Vancouver. Love doing both on the same day? Definitely come to Vancouver.
By far one of the biggest reasons for people to choose this vibrant city is its versatility in terms of outdoor activities. Whether you want to relax in Jericho Beach or hike the Panorama Ridge Trail, this is your place in the world.
It certainly has been for Dan, who's been an agent for 12 years in British Columbia.
Today he shares with us how Real Geeks became a fundamental part of his business.
Back when Dan first started in real estate, nobody had an online presence.
So when he began writing blogs and tinkering with Google Ads (called AdWords at the time), he was able to be one of the first agents riding the online marketing wave.
When Real Geeks appeared as a possibility in 2009, Dan decided to try it out alongside a handful of other CRMs to see how they could affect his business.
"Real Geeks offered the best value out there. But it wasn't value for the sake of value. It was a system that actually worked."
This is a core principle of our business. If a new feature doesn't make the agent's life fundamentally easier, we simply don't pursue it.
Choosing a system that prioritizes efficiency is what allowed Dan to slowly branch out and expand, not just from a team of 2 agents to a team of multiple agents, but to different neighborhoods within Vancouver.
The biggest thing Real Geeks did for Dan was allow him to enter a price bucket that he previously wasn't part of.
He tells the story of this new lead that came through his website: a couple with a budget of 5 million dollars. Thanks to the Real Geeks system, Dan was able to stay in touch with them and follow up until he was able to find them the perfect home.
Within two weeks of this first transaction, they listed and sold their previous home with Dan, for another 5 million dollars. So two transactions that equated to $10M in less than three weeks.
What's more, this couple is still a huge client for Dan, and they're now looking for their second home with him. And one day, they'll probably sell the first one with him as well.
Dan credits not only the generation of this lead, but his ability to seamlessly keep in touch with them to the Real Geeks system.
"Once you go through 100, 1,000, 5,000 leads, you have the opportunity to make 15–20 million dollars from a single lead coming through your Real Geeks website."
Real Geeks is designed to work for you. No, really.
Take its PPC lead generation service, Real Leads, as an example. You assign whatever budget you have allocated, and our team will start running your ads for you.
Then you decide when to turn the volume up or down, depending on how many leads you and your team can manage.
Dan puts it best:
"Real Geeks is the bread and butter of your business. It gives you what you need, and then it's up to you to decide how much effort you want to put into it to close all of these leads."
