In late 2017 I completed a 7pt CPD course on Digital Marketing for Real Estate. Eran was the trainer for the day – what I took from the course is that to market yourself and your brand through digital marketing is that you (agent) need a professional.

I said to a colleague at the time that when I’m ready to try digital marketing I will be contacting Eran Malloch. The only mistake I made was that I waited too long to act on teaming up with Eran.

After an initial plan to trial a month by month digital marketing plan we are 3 months into a very productive campaign. Currently I have 4 listings generated from Facebook ads, and more in the pipeline.

I’ve also received numerous leads where home owners have requested desktop appraisals and therefore will be added to my database as potential business in the near future.

The sellers feedback on the video ads have been super positive as they could see their agent was being active in promoting their property to as wide audience as possible.

Overall the marketing campaign has significantly increased brand awareness and has my local competitor real estate agents on notice that WBRE is out to achieve market share. I’m looking forward to working with Eran through 2019 and beyond.

Agency: Property Wizards

Whether it would be worth the time spent.

The training covered a huge amount of ground. It was all valuable content – none of the usual padding and self promotion that marketers tend to include too much of.

Covered AdWords and Facebook specifically – not general stuff. Was practical i.e. how to, not theory. Take-home manual has procedures with how-to images.

Agent: Kasey Summers
Agency: LJ Hooker Cockburn City
What Was Your Concern About Attending?
Keeping up with advancements in Facebook, Google and real estate marketing in general.
What Did You Find After Attending?
By far the most valuable training I have attended since I started in the industry over 10 years ago.
What Was The Best Part of The Day?
I liked how approachble Eran was and how we got to discuss the topic and ask questions, not just the listen and risk not understanding things fully.
What Other Benefits Did You Find?
* How to set up Google AdWords.
* How to upload contacts to Facebook.
* Advice on what the consumer wants.
Would You Recommend This Course To Other Real Estate Professionals?
Yes, I emailed everyone in my office in sales that evening and suggested they do this training!
I feel that many agents have no idea about how to utilise these new forms of marketing and as agents we need to embrace this technology or fall behind.
Anything Extra To Add?
I also contacted Eran for advice about CRM’s a topic we didn’t have much time to discuss on the day. He is being very helpful and seeking further advice from my from real estate contacts.

Agent: Patrick Grogan
Agency: Armadale Real Estate The Professionals
What Was Your Concern About Attending?
There would be real estate agents there!
What Did You Find After Attending?
The real estate agents were pretty quiet and listened to the trainer.
What Was The Best Part of The Day?
It gave me good insight into how the mysterious workings of Google Adwords works. I had a basic understanding of using Facebook to connect, but this gave me the grease to get the wheels spinning.
What Other Benefits Did You Find?
* How to get benefits from AdWords;
* The auction system for AdWords…weird stuff but very helpful to know;
* Central management of the accounts.
Would You Recommend This Course To Other Real Estate Professionals?
No. I don’t want my competitors to get to much knowledge! Seriously, yes, because I think there are too many operators in the SEO field who are ripping businesses off.
Anything Extra To Add?
No, it was the best value training I have done since CPD came into existence, and the most practical in the changing world of marketing and advertising (and I am a 50s child!)

Agent: Shaun Hogarth
Agency: Acton Real Estate Rockingham
What Was Your Concern About Attending?
I was concerned that I didn’t have a business Facebook page or a website setup. I had a personal Facebook page, but not a business one.
What Did You Find After Attending?
It helped me to setup a Facebook business page and get a basic understanding about Adwords and Facebook marketing.
What Was The Best Part of The Day?
I especially liked the Facebook campaign for lead/appraisal generation, which is what I’ve been wanting to do since I first started in Real Estate 4 months ago.
What Other Benefits Did You Find?
1) Learning what is required for, and how to, setup an Adwords campaign.
2) Learning how to properly setup a Facebook campaign, although I missed most of what was said, as I was too busy trying actually setup the first campaign on my laptop and fell behind. I felt the Facebook part of the seminar went too fast to actually follow what was being said and create a campaign. Pauses between each step to allow data entry were needed before proceeding to the next step.
3) Learned what factors of an ad actually have the most impact to an audience. i.e a great offer is more important than the look of an ad.
Would You Recommend This Course To Other Real Estate Professionals?
No I wouldn’t recommend it, because I wouldn’t want everyone to have the same edge we now have after doing this course, lol. Just jokes, yes I would recommend it :-).
Anything Extra To Add?
I really liked the training and content, but as stated above, I would have liked to have been able to have pauses between each step of the Facebook campaign, as I only got halfway through setting up the first campaign before I got stuck. I then couldn’t start setting up the second campaign, as the first was still incomplete and open. I would love a video showing how to setup the first campaign too if that’s possible please? Being a brand new agent, I really want, actually need, to have a great lead generation campaign up and running as soon as I can.
[NOTE: As per Shaun’s request, I have given him access to a pre-existing training video which demonstrates how to set up the first campaign in the training.]

It has opened my eyes to the possible opportunities if done correctly. This appeals.
What Was The Best Part of The Day?
I can’t be specific as I have and am a sceptic with how the cloud and internet functionality, particularly with regards to security and negative comment. Eran did show how we can remove any negativity which was great. My attention span was not lost throughout which was surprising.
What Other Benefits Did You Find?
* The power of Facebook
* Removing negative comments on my Facebook ads
* The importance of initial set up and legal requirements
Would You Recommend This Course To Other Real Estate Professionals?
Yes, but reluctantly as I would prefer that not to many would progress this way

What Other Benefits Did You Find?
Adwords, Facebook, other social media options available
Would You Recommend This Course To Other Real Estate Professionals?
I found this one of the best courses I have attended so far, I am very interested in social media, so this was totally for me. Yes, I would highly recommend it to anyone.
Anything Extra To Add?
I would have preferred if the group was smaller, as whenever I was stuck somewhere, it was hard to catch up and I was not sure if I entered the parts that I had missed correctly. I sincerely hope that you will be doing a follow-up course for 2018, Eran, I will be there!

Agent: Josie Yang

Agent: Geoffrey Frean
Agency: Frean Buchanan
What Was Your Concern About Attending?
I was concerned a lap top would distract my attention to my note-taking used for memory retention in the difficult, complex detail of Digital Marketing. Judging by past general standard, content and number of compliance courses, I must say they are overly expensive and a financial burden to the people who need them most.
What Did You Find After Attending?
As it transpired, had I brought the laptop I would have missed a large part of the depth of applied experience relevant to the sections throughout the seven hour course. Marketing is a science of structure which when combined with the digital complexity between the Google and Facebook systems, required the value and quality of Eran’s years of experience gained during the evolution of Digital Marketing development. The value and presentation of this course was clearly evidenced by the 100% attention of each attendee, maintained right up to completion.
What Was The Best Part of The Day?
A case by case history of the do’s and don’ts of advertising content and application. It was clear, concise, experience based and included proven outcome methods by successful agents.
What Other Benefits Did You Find?
* Knowledge of the Google system and reason of its design of fees, supplemented by Google’s economist, Hal’s video.
* Knowledge of the Facebook system and its comparison of benefits.
* Techniques, strategies and measures on how to utilise both systems to maximise client/purchaser retention, participation and service.
Would You Recommend This Course To Other Real Estate Professionals?
Yes with out hesitation. This training was by far one of the best value packed seven hours of quality instruction, essential to all marketing disciplines since digital development and the CPD programs began.
Anything Extra To Add?
The general standard of some trainers has a degree of salesmanship, swagger and fill, whereas Eran Malloch’s genuine delivery was solely, experience-based. The recent evolution of complex digital marketing technology has been his occupation from the outset.

What Was The Best Part of The Day?
I liked the whole course because Facebook and Google Adwords are important ways to promote my business.
What Other Benefits Did You Find?

* The concept of setting up a “look a like” audience.
Would You Recommend This Course To Other Real Estate Professionals?

What Was The Best Part of The Day?
It was a day filled with golden nuggets but i think the first thing we will be utilizing is the Facebook database upload so we can market directly to our existing database or more than just email this will be really powerful and very useful. Thank you.
What Other Benefits Did You Find?
* The pin drop on Facebook marketing to control the geographical marketing
* The Facebook Pixel and it’s many uses
* Setting up and learning AdWords in general it’s something i haven’t done yet
Would You Recommend This Course To Other Real Estate Professionals?
I would. I think everyone should do it, the world is changing and no matter who you are this is information you really need to know in any business and i look forward to implementing it into our business.
