consumers looking for?
Coach Tom Ferry: Well I think it's very question there, there's
actually many changes that occurs near the last five years include in
the US and Canada. I think the biggest, the biggest fundamental change

Days are gone where they pick up their elevators. Today I go online and
search for everything. So I think the real key station now for a real
estate practitioner, for consumers today is being where the people are.

is everything is changed in terms of how they market and how they find
their selves and oh one thing how we exposed our

Coach Tom Ferry: More importantly. How how consumers today can only
find like this real professional as well as the properties. See

power today the costumers have all the power. And what we look for is
the right real estate professional to negotiate on their behalf.

though we know we have to do it and the consumers are looking for. We
