Have Your Say!

HAVE YOUR SAY!

Does our vison of a world where real estate professionals are loved and respected by consumers resonate with you?

Are you focused on creating a business that consumers will want to recommend or would you like to be?
If so join our new Research and Development Team here at www.ilovemyagent.org. We would love to have your input and suggestions to help us grow our vision and your business.

The ilove message is something we are very passionate about and we want to provide consumers with clear evidence of social proof that they can and should expect a recommendation worthy experience when they choose you as their agent. We know many many agents are already  working hard AND doing this EVERYDAY but their marketing is not communicating this clearly to consumers in a way they want and trust in todays fast paced world. We also believe that people love recommending people and will do it if they understand the importance of doing it, have an easy way to do it, and have an expectation from the outset of choosing you as their agent.
We also believe you control your reputation and everything you do everyday contributes to that BUT THAT IT IS NOT RIGHT OR ETHICAL for others to take this control away from you by allowing unsolicited NEGATIVE COMMENTS TO BE PUBLISHED ABOUT YOU.  We also believe negative reviews serve no one, but that verified recommendations do, and if you CREATE A BUSINESS that has for example 30 listings, and 30 sales and 30 recommendations (or 60 if you had both sides) that says more about why consumers should choose you than another business who had 55 listings, 40 sales and only 20 recommendations.
What do you think?

Our Mission

Our mission at ilovemyagent is to lift the public perception of real estate agents and make it easy for consumers to find agents in their own marketplace they will love doing business with.

Consumers enjoy a love affair with real estate, buying and selling homes and investment properties more than ever before, and yet they share a massive mistrust of the real estate industry at large. This is why more and more consumers are choosing to go it alone and sell their homes without enlisting the services of a real estate professional. This is also why commission discounters have gained market share in todays marketplace like never before. Consumers are WARY !
Our livelihoods are at stake and all of us need to recognize this and become the change we want to see! We want consumers to love what we do and to respect our professional, we want to set ourselves apart from the charletons who have prayed on unsuspecting consumers, we have been doing this by building our qualifications, and sending out messages about how many sales we have done, why we're the best, that we're the biggest so that means more people use us, we're a small boutique service so you'll get quality and old fashioned service, that we're the area expert, none of it is working! We are still perceived badly in consumers eyes and our value is being questioned more and more everyday in this  fast paced world.
At  ilovemyagent, we are focused on sending a different message from the outset, that we are real estate professionals you will love doing business with. That we are happy to put our reputation online because we really do care what you think about your experience with us, and we intend to deliver you more than just a successful transaction.. That we are professionals you will be glad you selected to bring onto your team to achieve your real estate goals and that we are professionals you will want to recommend to your family and friends. That we are here for the long term and we value your feedback throughout your experience with us so we can tweak any concerns and we both know that at the end you are not only happy with the result but that you are happy to recommend us.This matters to us because we cant buy our reputation at ilovemyagent but instead earn it customer by customer.
Advertising to consumers has gotten out of control as people try to get their message out and consumers have switched off. No longer believing most of it as they have been burned in the past not just in real estate but by other things as well. When we want something today we want to gather our information and then make our selection and move on. We ask our friends and colleagues if they know of someone they would recommend or for a review about whatever it is we are looking for and  then we search the web for further information. Thats why having an online reputation is  growing in value everyday.

We have a free silver membership so you can get to know us and experience  ilovemyagent risk free. Get started in building a recommendation bank of independantly verified recommendations you will benefit from today.
