Lets sit down and lets network!
Having been now in the Real Estate investment game and working with Bolthouse Homes from day one I would love to extend the invitation for us to grab coffee. I want to share any information I may be able to help with and here is a bit of the experience I am able to share now from the past 2 years and the last 4 in marketing. I am 23 years old when I stepped in RE I knew I had only one shot at building my personal brand and one thing the owner of Bolthouse Homes John Mathewson always told me was to find how I was going to bring value. I wasn't an agent I didn't have something to fall back on but I knew I could talk, I could connect and I could spark conversation. Some things can be taught but building off of your God given talent always gives you an advantage. I now strive to know everything about the Chicago market. Who is in the space, who is credible. Who has successful methods and who not to deal with. Aside from that the media side of things has been by baby and the area I work in day in and day out. Content is everything, John told me day one "Nick we need content" that is what I put out and that is how we are on 14 social media outlets as we try to take on Bolthouse Farms on web SEO that is not easy but go google Bolthouse Homes see what we put out. Check out our website that we built and go watch the youtube videos that we create and all of our listing photos we take too! I may not be able to teach you overnight but I can show you the map that has taken me here!

I can show you what has worked and tell you really what hasn't. We still have a long way to go but always learning and growing has helped!
