The truth is often painful and for those in the Real Estate profession, it is especially difficult. You survived the licensing process; you have overcome all manner of personal obstacles and you have diligently sought clients.
Yet, here you are, surrounded by over 13,500 other, similarly equipped pro's, trying to "Differentiate Yourself". Sure, you have skills and talents and interests, that would separate you from the others, but who knows about them?
There has to be a way to get your message out and noticed. Perhaps you have a webpage, but how many people find their way to it? Maybe, you have tried Facebook, but how many "likes" have you gained? You have possibly "tweeted" and maybe even attracted a few dozen LinkedIn "connections".
We at e-Agent think it is about time that you had a Public Relations Manager. Wait, that costs mega-bucks, does it not? Yes and fortunately No. You see, while no individual real estate agent, could afford the fees of a top PR firm, you actually don't need one. What you do need is a Press Release service and one can produce big outcomes.
Back in Virginia, Denese Konowe (e-Agent's CEO) had e-Agent Inc (the U.S. parent firm of e-Agent NZ) acting on behalf of her and all of her 500+ salespeople. e-Agent, even 15 years ago, took care of Denese's web presence; her Press Release management; her Google presence and so on. How successful was all that? Find out for yourself, just Google "Denese Konowe" and you will see what we are showing you here:

Fifteen years later and such a search generates over 3,400 reference, many from her days back in the states. Better yet, no one is updating her Stateside presence, yet there she is! So what? Well, even though Denese has lived in New Zealand, since September 8, 2006, the agents and firms she left behind are still getting leads from her remaining presence and still making money!
So, back to you. e-Agent has decided to provide some of its well proven Press Release technology to a select number of New Zealand Salespeople, Agents and even a few smaller firms. It is something you can afford and indeed, it is perhaps something you cannot afford not to have.
Press Releases:
We would not be at all surprised, if you thought that having a personal press release was "silly" or too "extravagant" to even consider. After all, the cost to have a professional write such a press release is often well over a thousand dollars and that is before you include the cost of distribution.
However, there is a little secret and we think you should know about it. Firms that are recognised "Press Release Agencies" can and do pay very reasonable fees to the services that distribute their releases. Because they deal in volume, their (read that as our) costs are not such a deal breaker. In addition, with a wee bit of help from the client, a Press Release can be produced in just a manner of hours.
OK, but what does it do, you ask. Well, in the days before the Internet, such a release might get a mention in a local newspaper or perhaps spark a short radio interview. Mainly, what it did was allow the community to see the person, being written about, as "significant" and that led to listing, which lead to commissions... you get the idea.
Now, such a Press Release has a much bigger playing field and much wider impact. Today a Press Release will, within minutes find itself included in Google's search; Twitter's streams; Reddit's blogs; LinkedIn's news and hundreds of other syndicated news sources. Yes, The Herald will see it; yes, Stuff will see it, but the so will The New York Times; The London Times and just about every other news source worldwide. Will they always replay any given Press Release? Not always, but the life of such a Press Release is "Forever" and just like is the case with Denese and e-Agent, years from now that release will still be on the Internet and possibly still generating new business leads and costing you nothing in the process.
Would you like to see a sample Press Release? No problem, see one just below, we just published, as this was being written:

Now take note that this Press Release was published just a few hours ago, today 25/08/2014. Also notice that there are direct links to our website and that our company logo were also included. OK, so after a few hours, how is this Press Release doing? Glad you asked!
The facts speak for themselves! In just a few hours about 700 have read this PR. Almost 500 syndication services (newspaper newsrooms, TV, Radio and such are paying attention and if you look at the the top numbers are displayed, you will see that this was the 21st most popular ReleaseWire Press Release today WORLDWIDE! Look at those little dots again and one other starting fact jumps out at you... About 400 search engines, not just Google, took notice and their results are "forever". So 15 years from now this PR will likely still be working!
Ok, so it worked for e-Agent, but assume your story is a bit less compelling. You probably have a point, in that Denese's and e-Agent's background makes great reading for human news editors, but what you have forgotten is those 400 or so search engines. They aren't reading Press Releases out of human interest, heck, they aren't human at all. They scan every Press Release and post them, because that is what they are designed to do.
So, even without a "Denese/e-Agent" style career story, your InstantOn™ PR will receive attention and along with your other marketing, will have an impact, immediately and for years to come.
