Also I just fired my seo guy after 8 months my keywords were still in the 30's not near the top ten.

This is truncated from Jason Hartman dot com (Jason's SEO is great...so he will find this post in 10 seconds...Hiya Jason!) 

We also hired a web marketing company to revamp our website and SEO.  

He made the whole process effortless and had great communication back and forth with me.

Any suggestions on the best profile to hire to watch SEO tutorials and implement all the ideas?

It seems you're into SEO and Internet Marketing?

The next steps are a business account, business cards, getting as much of this process automated to streamline, and then SEO.

Save your time & money - just pay a good SEO outfit top get top placement in searches.

For people on your team I would recommend getting a bookkeeper, a marketing manager (someone to handle mailer, craigslist, SEO, bandit signs, etc), a property analyst (someone to run property comparisons and send out offers), and depending on how many incoming calls your getting, you may want another phone buyer.

I've made the core of my money online, and paying a percentage the website creator is a bit more than i could bear, although I understand your point if they are going to do full blown marketing (PPC, SEO or CPM).
