2. Online Leads to Grow Your Business
• 2011 National Association of Realtors® Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers:
– 35% of buyers first looked online for properties for sale as their first step.
– 88% of home buyers used the Internet as one of the information sources in
their home search.
– The Internet has edged out all other sources in the search process.
• Consumers are using the internet to look for information before they contact
an agent.
• Connect with a buyer first and demonstrate the value you bring to their home
buying process.
• Sales representatives who reach online homebuyers first have the best
chance of converting them to clients.
“The online consumer may actually be easier to create
a relationship with then the traditional consumer.
Communicating online takes almost all the judgment at
the subconscious level away. E-Mail communication
acts like a judgment filter by eliminating the non-verbal
communication.”
Michael Russer, online marketing real estate expert 2

6. The Needs of a GetHomes.ca Lead
• Always deliver on the program promise of LISTINGS
– Most MLS searches are too broad for consumers’ tastes and results in
property information they may not be interested in. Gethomes offers
consumers another way to get listings … through GetHomes agents!
• Quick Response
• Incubation for 4-6 months
– Incubate leads today for business tomorrow.
• Respect of Time and Privacy
– They enjoy anonymity and feel shielded by not having to share to much information

7. Testimonials
“Last year my partner and I closed 6 sales and the gross commissions earned from those sales
amounted to approximately $20,000. The return has been great so far to date. The big thing is to
contact the lead as soon as possible and set them up as a buyer. You have to follow up with the
buyers as much as possible so as to keep in touch with them. Try to qualify as much as possible to
make sure that the leads that you receive are solid.
To date the program has provided us with an excellent return on our investment and I would
recommend it to anyone who would like to increase their bottom line.”
Todd Thompson, Cornwall, ON.
“The key points that helped me make this program a success for me were the leads being delivered to
me instantly. I had all the information I needed to be able to do a quick search prior to calling the
potential client. The fact that the clients were coming to me rather than me door knocking to try to
solicit them. I knew they needed my help. I also think that the way the data was held and organized. I
could be mobile and assess the database anywhere I was able to sign in to the intranet. I attribute this
to responding to leads right away. Call them and email them. Then do so again in two days. You need
to establish contact within two days or the chances drop of being successful with that lead. Gethomes
will be a program I will never walk away from.
I have been extremely successful. I don’t know that I would be the Realtor I am today without this tool.
One deal...one closed deal is basically all you need to cover the cost of the program for the year. In
2011 to date I have closed six deals that are a direct result of the Gethomes program. “

8. More Testimonials
“Response to leads needs to be quick and friendly. Most people are surprised that it’s an actual
person calling/emailing them – most are impressed. Automated MLS searches running for potential
clients often converts the leads. Gethomes pays for itself several times over. I keep track of my
numbers very carefully and even with having to pay buying agents it still makes sense. It also keeps
you busy during the slower times of the year. Well worth the investment.”
Dan Moloughney, Ottawa, ON.
“I joined because I don't like cold calling and this program works and it has worked for me. If people
follow up and follow the directions that the program suggests then I think it will work well. I also know
that there is no magic formula and that it will not work if your expectation is that you have client in
every email. The contacts provided though sometimes bizarre are usually at least interesting and do
not always lead to a client but are certainly better than cold calling. The program has been cost
effective for me and I feel that if I worked harder it could produce a good return.”
George Wall, Hudson, QC
