The Arizona Association of Realtors “REALTOR® Magazine” has 2 articles in it this month all about online video. Myself and Ubertor have been quoted in both as well as Ubertor client Ian Watt.

Their first article “12 Ways to Incorporate Video into Your Business” references Ubertor’s video syndication functionality that helps agents get their videos onto YouTube, Viddler and our own CombustionVideo.
http://www.aaronline.com/AZR/2010/Feb/Video.aspx

Their second article “Should You Be Vlogging?” opens with a couple quotes from me about the use of online video. From the article:

“Video is the closest thing you’ve got to meeting somebody in real life,” explains Stephen P. Jagger, founding partner of Ubertor, which helps agents develop video-focused websites. “They can watch you, hear your passion for a topic, see your smile. You earn their business before they’ve even met you.”

Interested in giving Ubertor a try? You can signup at Ubertor.com and play with the video functionality with no obligation. Your first 30 days are free, there is no contract and new setup fee.

I received this email the other day from one of our clients and wanted to post it here. Trina is a new client to Ubertor and has been working on getting her website up and running. Here is what she had to say about our live help team:

Hi,
I am just writing to provide feedback on the service I have received from the online help.

Over the last week, I have been working day and night building and customizing my website. With little to no experience in some of the complicated terms and stuff that arise in this process, I have had to call on the online help option a number of times daily.

I have had the pleasure of dealing with Uber Cristian and Uber Mae and can say that every single one of my many requests for help has been greeted and resolved with excellence! I’m sure many of my questions are very redundant to someone who knows this stuff really well but both Cristian and Mae have been superiorly helpful. The customer service received from both of them has absolutely exceeded my expectations and has also taught me a lot about managing and maintaining my website.

This option to get online help within the great hours of service provided has certainly made Ubertor stand out to me as the leading competitor and a company which I am proud and thoroughly happy to do business with for many years to come.

Wishing you a prosperous 2010!

Kind Regards,

Trina Brady

Thanks Trina!
I’m glad our team is providing you with fantastic service!!

I had the pleasure of attending the RE/MAX Kick Start Event in Toronto this week where over 4000 RE/MAX agents from all over Canada came together to kick off the year. It was a fantastic event with some really fantastic speakers.

A big thanks to Realtor Richard Silver, Coach Tom Ferry and RE/MAX Executive Vice President David Brown for encouraging the RE/MAX agents to give Ubertor a try in their respective sessions. Thanks!!

Here is a video of RE/MAX Executive Vice President David Brown talking about Ubertor and WeKnowOttawa.com:
