Speaker Topics

GEE DUNSTEN:Military Residential Specialist (MilRES®)

The military client has been grossly overlooked and their benefits underutilized, as evidenced by the fact that fewer than 8% of those who are eligible for VA financing, actually use it. With over 2.5 million active military and their families and over 23 million veterans, agents will be serving one of the largest markets in our country. As the market turns, agents will need to be in touch with the growing market. This course is designed to provide the comprehensive training agents will need to better meet the needs of the military client and their families and provide them with the superior service they so richly deserve. The training provided will place the MCRS heads above the competition, while this brand new certification could be the tipping point for your business!

GEE DUNSTEN: Selling Luxury Homes

If you have ever stood on the sidelines and watched other agents land expensive listings and wondered how they do it, this seminar is for you! Our focus will be to provide attendees with a strategy for breaking into the luxury market, valuable tools to successfully compete in this elite market…AND the confidence to go for it!

GEE DUNSTEN:Succeeding in the Recreation and Resort Market

Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist recently said, “In 2017, the share of buyers who purchased a primary residence rose for the third year to 70 percent from 65 percent. The share of vacation home buyers declined for the third straight year to 12 percent from 16 percent. The share of investment buyers remained unchanged at 19 percent for the third straight year. He went on to say, “In several markets in the South and West – the two most popular destinations for vacation buyers – home prices have soared in recent years because substantial buyer demand from strong job growth continues to outstrip the supply of homes for sale. With fewer bargain-priced properties to choose from and a growing number of traditional buyers, finding a home for vacation purposes became more difficult and less affordable last year.” The challenge for agents will be not only to find homeowners who will consider placing their home on the market, but also to educate them with an effective marketing campaign that will maximize their equity position in the home, while at the same time, convince them that a reasonable commission is justified/deserved. An indispensable seminar for agents who want to proactively prepare for the housing shortage!

GEE DUNSTEN: "Humanize Your Business with Personal Video"

Personal video cuts through the clutter and noise consumers are bombarded with every day and puts a face and a voice with a name. It’s a return to the way business was done for generations…face-to-face. In this course you’ll learn the top reasons for video email underperformance and how to replace faceless digital communication with personal video to establish trust with authenticity, and to ultimately, build relationships. You’ll create and close more opportunities in less time by differentiating yourself and connecting with people to make sales and service more meaningful and compelling.
