| "I
first started my real estate practice in Manhattan, where I quickly
discovered just how high the competitive bar was set. To survive as
a new agent, it was critical to get to the top of my game as quickly
as possible, because the competition was intense.
"With
good coaching, I learned to do well by working harder and smarter
than the others, continuing to expand my knowledge with ongoing
education, by branding myself in every way possible, and by delivering
extraordinary customer service. Manhattan prepared me for how tough
this business can be, and was the best training ground I could ever
have chosen."
Two
years ago Greg moved his practice to his native Westchester County,
where he was living. By continuing to apply the valuable knowledge
and experience that he gained from his years in Manhattan, his achievements
in Westchester County have now propelled him into the top 5 percent
of producers in his market.
"Having
a presence on the web has been a critical component of my success,"
Greg reports. "The days of looking for a new house in the newspaper
are over - everyone now looks on the Internet. If you don't have
a web site, they'll call someone else.
"Half
of my business comes from the Internet. This is really because
of Myers. By following their suggestions, my search engine rankings
are number one. I simply listened and learned - I haven't had
to pay the search engines
anything.

"I had no idea I was at the top of the Google and Yahoo listings
for my areas of specialty until my Myers consultant called me
and said, 'Hi Greg, if you have a minute I'd like to show you something!'
Even as we speak, I have a client waiting in the next room that has
found me through Google and is now headed towards closing.

had no idea I was at the top of the Google and Yahoo listings
for my area of specialty until my Myers consultant called to
tell me!" |
"Why
did I choose Myers? My Myers web site was so easy to personalize,
was priced extremely well, and was much more professional looking
than any of the competitors. Plus my Myers consultant has been an
ongoing source of great help to me. Right from the beginning, when
I was evaluating several companies, he was a terrific example of the
high standards of customer service that I spoke of earlier.
"My
Myers web site has delivered a huge boost to my current success
in several ways. When people request more information about a property,
I receive their contact details. This gives me the ability to get
in touch and is the start of a new client relationship. My site
also gives the ability to my prospects to search the MLS without
having to endure all the annoying pop-ups that prevail on other
sites. It
also gives an impressive and memorable presence to my clients and
prospects. I've
received positive feedback about how easy it
is to use and also on the valuable information it contains.
It has
been important in making the people I work with feel confident in
my abilities.

"Best
of all, it delivers results. For example, a nearby property
in Cold Spring had been previously listed by another agent and was
on the market for about a year. There had been few visitors or enquiries,
and very little activity. When the listing expired, I stepped in,
listed it for the same price, put it on my web site, and was almost
immediately contacted by a buyer. I was able to double-end the $850,000
transaction, resulting in a $20,000 commission as well as extremely
impressed and satisfied clients."
Greg
and his wife Rachel are expecting their first baby in January. "As
I continue to expand and successfully build more presence in my
market, I hope people will continue to think of me as the guy that
grew up here in the Ardsley area and who is so happy to be back
in Westchester County, to raise my family, and to enjoy, help and
work in the community. Thanks to my early training and my Myers
web site, my dreams are coming true."
