RealSure offers real business solutions to the many questions
facing the real estate industry today, enabling leaders to
adapt and prosper in a constantly changing world.
Real Estate and Affiliated Industries
RealSure is widely recognized as one of the leading companies
analyzing the trends impacting the real estate brokerage
industry such as: One-Stop-Shopping, Customer Acquisition,
Company Profitability, Wireless Applications and the Involvement
by Corporate America and Financial Institutions. Since 1997
RealSure has been publishing various reports including the
well known “Real Estate confronts”
Series that is now in its 7th year. The National Association
of REALTORS® projects existing-home sales to hit a record
6.17 million in 2004, which would be 1.2 percent higher
than last year's 6.10 million record. New-home sales should
be essentially stable, slipping 0.4 percent to 1.08 million
this year, just shy of the record 1.09 million sold in 2003,
while housing starts are seen to be fairly even, down 0.3
percent to 1.84 million.
Education
RealSure has been active in developing both online and
off line educational material for the real estate industry.
In 2001 the company created the e-Buyer course for The Real
Estate Buyers Agent Council (REBAC), the largest society
within The National Association of REALTORS®. In 2002
RealSure became the Managing Partner of RealtyU®, Inc.
the nation’s largest network of real estate schools
and colleges serving 40 states through 120 campuses and
educating over 230,000 real estate agents every year. In
2003 RealSure became the Managing Partner of iSucceed, Inc.,
a large national mentoring service providing guidance and
money-making strategies to real estate agents and in 2004
RealSure became the Managing Partner of The Real Estate
Apprentice Foundation, a non-profit venture providing $250,000
in grants to newly licensed real estate agents every year.
Technology
RealSure has a close strategic relationship with various
software companies, which it draws upon depending on project
scope and required disciplines. These companies vary from
highly specialized full life-cycle systems development teams
specializing in the emerging e-Business, e-Government, e-Realty
and e-Learning sectors, to high volume, quick output broad
based programming. They offer a broad range of high quality
services including technical consulting, enterprise web
solutions and e-Commerce capabilities, to one of the largest
integration and outsourcing IT companies in the world with
over 60,000 employees. Working as project leaders, RealSure
is able to combine its multiple strengths and forge technology
into business solutions that positively impact productivity,
efficiency and the bottom line.
Telecommunication
RealSure has for many years believed and publicly stated
that the integration of video, voice, text and email was
going to be one of the most significant trends to change
lifestyles and consumer habits. In real estate, the ability
to listen and reply verbally to e-mail, view pictures and
video tours of the latest MLS listings, e-fax documents
to the office, view and communicate with loan officers and
digitally retrieve important documents - anywhere, anytime
from a whole new array of wireless devices - will forever
change the home buying process. As such, RealSure has recently
become the Value Added Reseller (VAR) for GenuTec Business
Solutions and through a variety of alliance partners is
able to bring services such as Web-based Voice Connectivity,
Unified Messaging and an Electronic Call Center to the market.
Financial Services
RealSure team members have worked as consultants for various
national Financial Institutions, conducted market research,
strategized new business models, assisted with mergers and
acquisitions and the management of existing customer retention.
Currently pending legislation suggested changes to the financial
services arena as controversial as the recent Gramm-Leach-Bliley
Act (GLB Act). The proposed legislation would declare real
estate brokerage, real estate management and employee relocation
to be activities that are “financial in nature,”
uwhich would fall under the Act. This would allow financial
holding companies and national bank subsidiaries to enter
the Real Estate Brokerage business. This Act has become
one of the most highly profiled changes positioned to impact
the industry and RealSure believes it will have an enormous
impact the future of the real estate industry.
Developments
Various team members in RealSure are qualified in Cost
Engineers and/or Construction Project Management. They have
been involved in various multi million-dollar projects,
including Hospitals, Schools, Museums, Civic Centers, Power
Plants and Retail Centers both nationally and internationally.
Task management has included Bills of Quantities, Evaluation
of Tenders, and the Financial and Project Management of
Medium to Large Construction and Building Projects. Currently
RealSure serves as the Project managers for Estrella Village,
a $40 million retail development in Arizona.
