Strategic Partner and National Director of Seminars
For immediate release, March 19th, 2019
Orlando, FL: Dick Betts to answer the demand for new home education and training as the National Director of Seminars.
New Home Co-Broker is excited to announced the appointment of Dick Betts as Strategic Partner and National Director of Seminars. Dick will assume this position immediately and work with founder David Fletcher to help move the company forward in today’s market.
“Dick is one of the most highly respected trainers in the REALTORS® circles. We looked for a long time for strategic partner to establish and direct a national seminar service” according to Fletcher founder of New Home Co-Broker Academy.
The demand continued to surge as we have presented 39 monthly seminars for Providence a Golf and Country Club Community located in the Orlando market area. Builders experienced a sales increase from 20% to 80% the first year and the number is even higher for some of the builders.” Until now, we did not feel ready” Fletcher said.
Betts agreed. “New Homes are in high demand in many areas of the country.
Whether the market is good or weak, builders are understanding that their competition for qualified buyers is not the builder across the street, it is REALTORS® because according to the National Association of REALTORS®, 90% of all homes, both resale and new construction, are sold by REALTORS®. “Realtors need saleable inventory. Builders need qualified buyers. It’s a perfect fit, but the education and training need is enormous” Betts said.
According the National Association of Home Builders, 18% of all home buyers purchased new homes and 38 percent are undecided, meaning they will request resale showings, but are willing to shop new homes.
“Based on the success at Providence co-broker sales, we see education and training becoming the baseline broker marketing strategy while continuing to do those things they have always done, such as golf tournaments, grand openings, and such,” Betts said.
“We are bringing the Academy’s signature three-hour course, How to Build a New Homes Niche to MLSs, associations, builders and developers and will start accepting dates April 1” Betts said. Currently the How to Build a New Homes Niche is available online.
“I’m very grateful for the opportunity to help shape the future of New Home Co-Broker Academy” said Betts. “The Academy has the right material to help REALTORS® grow their business and excited to share the information to North America”.
New Home Co-Broker Academy has graduated more than 3,400 from the "How to Build a New Homes Niche" online and live courses in its short three-year history. Attendees earn the New Home Co-Broker (NHCB) designation and in the state of Florida agents and brokers can earn three hours of CE credit.
