We had the pleasure of interviewing Kim Noel, a recent REAL ESTATE WEBOGRAPHER™ (REW™) certificant. Kim has worked in many different fields providing her assistant services, but has become a valuable member of our Technology Partner, Team Double-Click.

We took a few moments to ask her a few simple interview questions on her thoughts of the program.

1) What is your background?

I have many years of experience as an Administrative Assistant in a Bricks and Mortar setting.  I have worked within Real Estate, Car Manufacturing and Modular Home Manufacturing as an Assistant.  Mixed with my fascination with computers and technology, the evolutionary step was to work virtually at doing something I love to do.  I have to thank Team Double-Click for that opportunity.  They are a wonderful Virtual Staffing Agency for Independent Contractors to work with and you couldn't ask for a better support system.

2) Why did you undertake the REAL ESTATE WEBOGRAPHER™ (REW™) certification?

I took the Certification to increase my knowledge base so that I may in turn help my clients and future clients have a solid web presence for their businesses.  With this knowledge I can improve their presence on the web at a fraction of the cost and increase their sales; all from the comfort of my home office.

3) Which course (or courses) did you find the most value in?

All the courses were packed with useful and very interesting information, but I have to say the Online Transaction Management (Relay) and Agent Websites (RapidListings / Point2) courses were the highlight for me.  All the modules were easy to understand and very thorough.

4) In what ways will you utilize the technologies you learned in the REW™ certification to enhance your career or business?

With my new REW Certification I can now offer my clients a whole new area to help them increase their web presence and get them on the path to marketing and lead generation the web-savvy way!

5) How long did it take you to complete the certification and what are your impressions of the online experience?

It took me a week to complete the certification.  I went head on and worked at it daily.  I had a hard time putting my mouse down so to speak.  The program was excellent!  It was easy to understand and each module prepared you fully for the Learning Lab case-studies as well as the test questions.  I would certainly recommend this course to any VA who is interested in being an RE Assistant.

Thanks Kim and all the Best!
