In the fast-paced world of real estate, adaptation is key to success. Darren Woodard, co-founder of BRG Real Estate in beautiful Myrtle Beach, knows this all too well. With over a decade of experience in the industry, Darren has seen the landscape evolve, especially with the rise of internet leads.
For the skeptics who doubt the effectiveness of internet leads, Darren has a powerful response: BRG Real Estate closed millions of dollars in deals from internet leads.Yes, you read that right—$1.8 million, $3.2 million, and $1.1 million deals, all originating from online prospects.
Reflecting on the journey, Darren recalls the early days when internet leads weren't even on the radar. "So [in] 2004, we we didn't have people jumping in our cars, you couldn't go pay somebody for a lead, you had a phone and a phone book," he says. "So I decided to build a website."
However, navigating clunky platforms proved challenging until he discovered Real Geeks. What sets Real Geeks apart, according to Darren, is its continuous commitment to meet market demands.
"[We] just saw how easy it was on the back-end to be able to build out a site. I mean, it made something that took me 15 minutes before, and now it would take a minute."
In their early years with Real Geeks, BRG Real Estate closed thousands of leads, primarily internet-generated. And their conversion rate? Impressive to say the least—hundreds of deals closed annually from leads online using their website.
"Just a super easy experience for the person on the front-end searching for property too. So for me it was just a no-brainer to switch over." Darren states, attributing a big part of their next-level success with online leads to their Real Geeks website's ease-of-use.
"I literally pick up the phone sometimes and call a lead that comes in and they'll say, well, I already have have an agent, but I just, I love your site. It's so easy to use."
As BRG Real Estate continues to expand, with an ever-climbing 250 agents across five states, Darren remains committed to Real Geeks. "You know, I'm always looking for the next best thing, but I just haven't found it yet when it comes to the website," he says.
In an industry where adaptation is key, BRG Real Estate stands as a testament to the power of internet leads, with Real Geeks as their trusted ally in their digital landscape. With seamless integration, user-friendly interfaces, and unparalleled support, Real Geeks empowers real estate professionals to thrive in an ever-evolving market.
