Word of Mouth :: Les Burrus

We recently spoke with Les Burrus, a REAL ESTATE WEBOGRAPHER™ (REW™) certificant, to find out his opinions on REW.

Les is a real estate agent working with WestMark REALTORS in Lubbock, TX.   Having a varied background of experiences, Les received his license as a Texas Real estate agent 2 years ago to help people achieve their dreams and further his own.

REW™ Certificants have the opportunity to speak their thoughts about REW for showcase on the Webographers.com corporate blog. Here are Les' thoughts on REW:

1) What is your background?

I have an MDIV degree from Asbury Theological Seminary serving in the pastorate and 7 years in France.   I was raised on a farm and have spent several years raising and selling vegetables and working in the Restaurant business.   Investing in rental properties have always been interesting to me and the real estate business seems a logical discipline to reach my goals.

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

I took the Webographers course to further my knowledge in the industry trying to maintain a cutting edge on what’s knew.  This helps me to achieve the goals of the code of Ethics for REALTORS.  To be knowledgeable of the real estate industry. 

3) Which course (or courses) did you find the most value in?

I found the transaction management and electronic forms to be the most beneficial for me.  I have several out of town clients and found this to be the answer to not only my clients needs but the wave of the future in real estate transactions.

4) In what ways will you utilize the technologies you learned in the REW certification to enhance your career or business?

I will utilize the information to streamline my own transaction process and educate our office on the possibilities to a seamless approach to daily transactions.

5) How long did it take you to complete the certification and what are your impressions of the online experience?

It took me about 2 weeks total.  I didn’t do it in one or two sittings.  It gave me the freedom to learn while keeping a busy and full schedule. I think the online experience allowed me to learn and grow at my own pace coupled with a business to run, family, and all the other attractions life offers.
