We had the pleasure of interviewing Bill Price, a recent REAL ESTATE WEBOGRAPHER™ (REW™) certificant.

Bill is one of the first to sign-up & complete the REW™ Certification through a promotional discount offered through the REW Technology Partner, zipLogix (ZipForm).

REW™ Certificants can answer interview questions, at the end of certification, for showcase on the Webographers.com corporate blog.

Bill is owner and broker of B & K Realty, providing free and easy access to property listings, home evaluations and many other online technologies from his brokerage website, to his clients within the San Antonio area.

Commentary from Bill Price:

—

(1) What is your background?

I am the Broker/Owner of B & K Realty in San Antonio, Texas. I have been a real estate agent since 2002. Prior to becoming a real estate agent I was a computer programmer. I have several designations including ABR®, CRS®, GRI® and am e-PRO® certified.

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

When I received your email and I saw that ZIPFORM® was endorsing the REW™ certification it peeked my interest. To be honest, when I saw the price for the certification, that really got me interested. I decided to take the certification to learn how I could take advantage of the Internet to help my business grow, as well help my agents. I wanted to learn how to generate leads using my website and to start blogging.

(3) What are your impressions of the online experience?

The modules were very good. The quizes after each section helped me understand what was being presented. The information was very current and relevant. I really liked all of the other partner websites that were mentioned. I can use those websites as future resources.

(4) How long did it take you to complete the certification?

It took me less than 10 days to complete all 12 modules. Each day I would set aside a number of hours to work on the courses.

(5) What real estate technologies are you considering implementing (for yourself or your clients)?

I currently have a website that I will make some major changes based on what I learned. Creation of single-property websites is something I will do for all my listings. I will add a second email address to my profile, so that when a lead comes in, that information will come to my mobile phone directly. I want to become a Blogger, so I will start doing that. Adding a neighborhood search to my website will be another item I will implement. Finally, I want to investigate Link Sharing [Lead Generation] with other agents so that my website can rank higher on Google™ and Yahoo™.

(6) What would you tell those who are considering this certification?

I have already started telling other agents about the REW™ certification. Developing a web presence marketing strategy for next year should be a goal for all real estate agents and the courses within the REW certification will help with that goal, from beginning to end.

Thanks Bill, and all the best!
