Shaun Kimmins Thoughts On Ubertor

Monday, November 15th, 2010

I received a great email testimonial from Shaun Kimmins today. Shaun is a Vancouver Realtor with Century 21 and has been working on a new Ubertor website for the last little while. We wrote about it a few weeks ago, but today recieved an email from Shaun with his thoughts on the Ubertor website system;

“The Ubertor realtor website system has been an integral part of Kimmins & Associates’ ability to create what we believe is one of the most impressive realtor websites in Vancouver, BC. The flexibility and accessibility of the system architecture allowed us to fully customize our site to fulfill all our requirements. In particular, we were able to create a maps that showcase our specialty in Vancouver’s downtown condo market. I don’t know of any another system that would allow such complete customization. I wholeheartedly endorse the system and would like to offer my cudos to Ubertor and to Steve Jagger.”

I had the pleasure of being the keynote speaker at the Victoria Real Estate Expo a few weeks ago in Sidney, British Columbia. The Victoria Real Estate Board has just over 225 members in attendance at the event for a packed day of learning, trade show booths and food.

I delivered a talk about “social media, online tools to run your business and how virtual workers can help” to the agents in attendance. It was a fantastic day with lots of agents very interested in taking their businesses to the next level.

Kelowna Realtor Grant Wiebe’s Testimonial About Ubertor

Thursday, November 4th, 2010

I received this email today from Kelowna Realtor Grant Wiebe talking about his experience with Ubertor. Grant has done a great job customizing his Ubertor website, take a moment and check out what he has done.

“I shopped around looking for an affordable template site for real estate that had a lot of flexibility both graphically and technically and Ubertor.com was the clear winner. Their product is excellent and the potential for customization is huge. They also seem to be pursuing new technologies and improving their product all the time. The fact that they didn’t look for an up-front “setup fee” or a contract speaks to the confidence that they have in their product.

Since signing up with Ubertor.com, the one thing that has been a big surprise has been their amazing level of live, free technical support. The support team is super personable, competent, and quick. I leave each “Live Help” visit with a smile on my face and my problem solved!

Ubertor has exceeded my expectations. I definitely made the right choice.”
