"How Agents Fit into the Web Site"

During her 20 years in the mortgage industry, Sandy Shaud saw many clients who were unprepared for retirement with limited savings and investments. While working full time, Sandy was able to build a portfolio of income producing real estate in her spare time and wanted to help others learn that they could do the same. In the spring of 2006, Sandy launched RealEstateInvestmentTV.com as a free, educational e-zine which has videos, podcasts and articles devoted solely to Real Estate Investing.

Sandy has a Bachelor of Science in Telecommunications Management (1985) from Syracuse University in Syracuse NY, a Masters of Arts in Spiritual Psychology (2003) from The University of Santa Monica in Santa Monica California and also graduated from a one year program in Soul Centered Leadership (2005) from the University of Santa Monica. Sandy has also held a real estate license for 20 years.

In her real estate interview at Real Estate CyberSpace Radio she discusses the following real estate information:

How Agents Fit into the Web Site

The section of Real Estate Investment TV called "Street Reports" features video contributions from agents around the country commenting on what is happening in their area; submissions can be emailed to Shaud.
Written reports called "Street Smarts" are also carried from agents and investors about what they have learned; reports can be submitted by mail or email.
An agent's contribution to Real Estate Investment TV can carry a link to the agent's web site and vice versa; the agent might promote his contribution by advertising that he is "featured on Real Estate Investment TV!"
The investors who visit Real Estate Investment TV can be a great source of repeat business for agents who establish a relationship with them; Shaud herself invests in real estate and has used the same agent for 20 years.

In this briefing she also covers the following useful real estate topics:

Features of Real Estate Investment TV

To eliminate 90% of the competition: dress professionally (like you deserve business), always be 15 minutes early for appointments (never be late); return all your calls and emails every two hours; learn to ask for what you want-top agents know how to turn prospects on by talking in real estate terms.

In her real estate interview at Real Estate CyberSpace Radio she discusses the following real estate information:

Web Site Application

A ba-gua (octagon) is an energy blueprint with eight divisions that is superimposed on an environment-e.g., a house or a web site; employing the ba-gua on a web site can lift its energy with the use of color, symbol and metaphor; the result is that visitors stay longer.
"Less means more" is a basic feng shui tenet that can enhance environments and one's personal life; on a web site, this means decluttering its pages-removing what is not meaningful to the visitor.
A web site needs to have a visionary mission statement-a defined purpose that is conveyed logically; the ba-gua allows this kind of clarity so that the eye of the buyer/visitor stays focused.
A feng shui-designed site utilizes eight seconds to capture the visitor, eight ways to create benefits and eight ways to capture email addresses.

In this briefing she also covers the following useful real estate topics:

Feng Shui Defined
Application to Real Estate
