This book is outdated and no longer in print. The years 1999 and 2000 introduced an overwhelming number of new technology vendors, products and services. By then it had become apparent that there was no turning back and that the Internet had started the to move the entire industry into a new direction. But the real estate industry was confused what services to incorporate and with who to partner with. As the third publication in the series, "e-Consumer" attempted to bring some clarification to confusing times. Some 750 companies offering real estate "e-services" were researched and evaluated. The final result was a 300-page guide that detailed the top 75 "e-services" companies and services as well as the leading software products available to the industry.

Swanepoel Trends Report 2008; Top 10 Real Estate Trends

One of the top reasons for failure in real estate is the lack of planning. Business planning is unfortunately often the last thing an agent wants to do, because it is a complicated and painful process. However, there is little value attached to dreams if they only stay in your head. For a good plan to be successful, daily actions need to echo the written word, which in turn echoes your dream. In the daily competition for market share, the race belongs to the agent who knows his or her goals and exactly how to achieve them. This report / white paper helps real estate agents better understand the steps in the business planning process, identify the hurdles, organize the priorities and then follow through with the execution.
