The Diverse Solutions Blog

About two weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to attend the 4Realz Internet marketing educational seminar as a sponsor. The event I attended was held at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles. The venue itself is an amazing place; I fully encourage everybody who can visit to do so. In fact, the center actually plays host to many schools for field trips, and so with the excitement of children in the air, the seminar kicked off promptly at 8:30am.

The seminar itself, hosted by Dustin Luther (Rain City Guide and Move.com) and Jim Marks (Virtual Results), is currently touring the west coast with the goal of helping the agents who attend better utilize their Internet marketing dollars and efforts. The class I attended lasted until 4pm, and not a single minute felt wasted! The course covers a great deal of material including everything from social networking to ROI. Throughout the seminar, agents are educated on the importance of understanding what consumers expect, and as Jim, states “different is better.”

Additionally, the two pointed out the importance of “original content” to establish better web presence during their seminar. I completely agree with them and can assure you that having original content on your site is an incredibly important subject. As many of you know, we have a very aggressive SEO (search engine optimization) program here at Diverse Solutions, and one of the key elements in our marketing packages is custom content. Basically, the more original and unique content you have on both your website and blog, the better chance you’ll have to be recognized by search engines and subsequently rank above your competitors.

As I thought about it a bit more, I decided to create a way for agents to better take advantage of this knowledge. For the remainder of the month, we will be offering 10 pages of custom content that can be added to your web site or blog for just $500; normally, we charge $1200 for this package! All you have to do to take advantage of this offer is just let us know what topics you would like us to cover (real estate related, of course). Our professional writers will do the rest. The offer is a great opportunity for individuals who recognize the importance of Jim and Dustin’s advice as well as those who may be considering implementing a marketing strategy in the near future.

Thanks again to both Dustin and Jim. You guys gave a great presentation, and I look forward to seeing you soon in Orange County!

(Note: If you’d like to attend the Orange County educational seminar, it’s only $49 for “the most informative 4-5 hours that you will likely ever spend on real estate education.” You can register here.)

My name is Sean Dolan and I’m a part of the sales team here at Diverse Solutions. I thought I would take this opportunity to talk about two of our most popular packages as well as the products that are included. Most potential client that I come into contact with have one common concern/question, “how much is this going to cost and what is included” or “are you guys running any specials that aren’t on your website”? I can absolutely appreciate this considering I find myself asking the very same questions when shopping for a new product. Generally, the response after explaining our packages and products is “that’s not bad” or “I thought it would cost much more”. The two packages that I wanted to talk about tend to be the most popular for the following:

Agent package:

This package tends to fit well with individuals who are either establishing web presence for the first time, upgrading from what has previously been provided by the company they work for, or sites that have been outgrown for whatever reason. The agent package includes a professionally designed website and hosting with a designated Account Executive (that will not only design your new site but will assist you in maintaining it). The sites are generally up and live within five to seven business days hosted on a domain name that has been registered for you for 5 years (great way to show search engines that you plan on sticking around for awhile). Once the site is live you can not only begin to send potential client, and or past clients to your new and in most cases highly improved site, but you can also start taking advantage of features that are included such as the ds AgentChat. This feature allows you to communicate in real time with clients that visit your new site via an instant message or a text message from your cell phone. As we all know prospective clients expect to have any questions and or concerns addressed in a timely manner, what better way to show them you understand this and what better way to keep them from leaving the site and finding answers else where. The agent package also includes ds AgentReach an email marketing and lead management solution, now you can have all your leads in one place and manage them accordingly right through the admin of your website. You will also have the flexibility of adding as many pages as you would like, and including any MLS/IDX solution so your visitors can search the MLS. Keeping the site updated is extremely important, and AgentCast  pro allows you to change the look and feel as often as you choose, so you can always maintain a fresh look with the most current information, the admin area allows for much more, for a list of all AgentCast Pro features please visit or real estate website section of our website. This solution will cost you $999.95

Agent and ds SearchAgent IDX package:

This package includes everything the Agent Package includes as well as our new state of the art mapping IDX solution.

Adding a product such as our ds SearchAgent allows your visitors to search the MLS in a unique and interactive way. Adding a product like this to your Agent package makes the site that much more powerful, giving potential clients that much more of a reason to stay on the site and use your services. Agents and or Brokers that opt for this package are generally looking for a high end site with a friendly, easy to use search feature that offers the most powerful and interactive tools on the market today. More on our ds SearchAgent IDX can be found in the MLS IDX section of our website the price for this package is $1999.95
