NAR Marketing Reboot Program

Real Estate Marketing Reboot

Instructor: Matthew Rathbun

Duration: 8 Hours | VREB Hours:  6 CE – 3 PL

Real Estate Marketing Reboot

One of the reasons why licensees fail or only achieve modest success is their inability to focus on the consumer’s needs and to market their services accordingly. In the past, marketing courses have dealt with marketing the seller’s property as opposed to marketing to the buyer. Structured to inspire novel marketing approaches to create a personal “brand” this course encourages students to look everywhere for differentiating marketing opportunities that grab the attention of buyers.

This course will cover a mixture of online and offline marketing, with emphasis on Lifestyle engagement.

The Real Estate Marketing Reboot Course counts as one REBAC elective course to be applied towards the ABR® Designation.
