Word of Mouth :: Marie Martinez

We had the pleasure of interviewing Marie Martinez, a recent REAL ESTATE WEBOGRAPHER™ (REW™) certificant.

Marie had an extremely successful career as a travel agent for a corporate firm. Following a relocation, she moved into real estate. She completed REW™ to aid in both her professional and personal businesses and has excelled in both!

We took a few moments to ask her a few questions on her thoughts of the program.

1) What is your background?

I worked as a corporate travel agent for 17 years and edged out with the increased use of technology. After a layoff, I decided not to pursue my career any further. After a couple of years and a relocation from New York to South Carolina I found my niche as a real estate assistant. I enjoy the marketing aspect of the job and in 2005 launched my part time business: Low Country Virtual Assistant.

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

To assist in both my full time job as an Executive Assistant to three very busy real estate agents and to promote myself as a Virtual Assistant.

3) What are your impressions of the online experience?

I loved the training and knowledge I received and can now bring to the agents I assist both during the day and for my own personal business. Technology is here and it is the future and we have to keep up in order to be competitive.

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

It took about two weeks to complete it.

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

Take it! You will not regret one penny. Money well spent. I am able to bring something to the real estate office I work for as my full time job as well as options for the agents I assist in the evening.
