Word of Mouth :: Sotorria Calloway

We had the pleasure of interviewing Sotorria Calloway, a recent REAL ESTATE WEBOGRAPHER™ (REW™) certificant looking to engage possibilities as an independent contractor, supporting technology and marketing for real estate professionals and companies.

Sotorria has completed the REAL ESTATE WEBOGRAPHER™ (REW™) certification recently and we asked her a few simple interview questions on her thoughts of the program.

1) What is your background?

I am currently a full time graduate marketing student and a former IT professional seeking possible independent contracting opportunities in real estate. I have been in the technology field for many years and look to a career change in the world of Real Estate.

2) Why did you undertake the REAL ESTATE WEBOGRAPHER™ (REW™) certification?

I undertook the REW™ certification as I am (a) a fan of Real Estate, (b) have a strong technology background, and (c) am working on a graduate level degree in marketing. In many ways the REAL ESTATE WEBOGRAPHER™ was a blend of all 3. I believe there is a niche for me down the road to provide contractual services to real estate professionals; assisting them to create a "Consumer-facing, web presence" as discussed in the training.

3) What are your impressions of the online experience

Given my full-time schedule, I required self-paced, online training I could do on my own time. I really enjoyed the interactive presentations that included voice, versus reading plain text. I had lots of fun, engaged a few of the showcased products so I could get my arms around the lessons discussed. Given future clients of real estate agents and brokers, I am proficient to not only implement, but to consult on available technologies they may look to consider.

4) How long did it take you to complete the certification?

The training took about 15 hours, done at a leisurely pace.

5) What would you tell those who are considering this certification?

With the certification under my belt, I believe I'm better equipped to pursue those opportunities. Thanks so much for making this certification available!!! I recommend this to agents who are serious about adopting technology, or to those who look to administer technology for others, playing a support role.
