Welcome to Real Estate Redefined.  I am Dan Forsman. Today, I am here at the exquisite 40 Cates Ridge Road in North Buckhead.  Our company is hosting a Luxury Collection Open House event for this amazing property listed by Debra Johnston.  This exceptionally rare 8.4 acre property and estate borders the East Palisades Chattahoochee Nature preserve & trails and is listed for $7,950,000.  If you have a client that is interested, please contact Debra Johnston to set up your private showing. Our company recently kicked off our 4Th Quarter SURGE program.  Our associates are FOCUSED on re-connecting with their past clients, getting more reviews and generating more appointments.  Check out our “From The Field Friday” episodes for some amazing success stories. Did you know that YOU are Number ONE on the planet?  Yes, we are the kings and queens of the Buyside Buyer Market Analysis.  No other brokerage comes close to the number of BMAs that we have generated for potential clients.  And no other brokerage in our market has Buyside. Yes, Buyside is a powerful tool for our associates.  As you connect with past clients, the Buyer Market Analysis or BMA is a great option to share.  The BMA shows 3 homes value estimates plus the number of real-time buyers searching for a property like theirs.  The format includes a buyer heat map and buyer activity summary based on searches from Zillow, Realtor.com, Homes.com and our websites.  We also show Featured Buyers which are qualified buyers where we have their contact information.  This allows the listing agent to reach out and market to a more qualified audience. The Buyside platform also includes the Buyer Match.  If you have a new listing, you can see the potential buyers already in our system that might be a match.  If you have a buyer, you can enter their information and see the properties that are listed, coming soon or pocket listings that might be a match.  In tight inventory markets, this can be a great advantage for your buyer clients. We have another unique option in Buyside that allows our associates to add a Coming Soon listing to post to Zillow.  Just enter the Coming Soon listing into Buyside and it will automatically post to Zillow.  This is available for all our associates and you do not have to be a Premier Agent.  Remember, you have 48 business hours to post the listing in the MLS. We just updated the training section on our PROPEL Learning Management System with awesome new videos and supporting documents.  Everything you need is right there – one click away. Can you believe we only have 6 more weeks left in the year?  2019 will be an exciting year for Metro Atlanta and North Georgia real estate.  We will be working hard to redefine the real estate experience and bring you more advantages for your business and your clients. Thank you for watching Real Estate Redefined.  Remember, every day in every way, YOU can get better and better!
