Can he do it?
The election of Peter White to the role of National President of
the FBAA is a refreshing change from the "practice" of recent
Click here years.
Peter White has shown that he, unlike the previous 2 incumbents,
is publicly passionate about the FBAA and its role in the industry.
To be seen as a success in the role, he'll need to transform the
appearance of the FBBA in the eyes of the average broker to be a
practical alternative that will get results for them as members.
Every association member must ask "what am I getting for my
$300 plus annual membership fee". If the answer is just a warm
and fuzzy feeling and a bi-monthly magazine then maybe it's time
for a change.
Peter deserves every chance to "strut his stuff" so that all
members can make an informed decision about the value of his
contribution. We can but hope that some of the FBAA "old school"
don't try to impeed his efforts to progress the FBAA in a positive
and professional way.
Based on his term as Senior Vice President there seems little
doubt that he'll do his best to make things happen.
We wish him well.

Equity+
Much more than a lead generator

Equity+ is a software package that


guides shows users how they can
improve the value of their homes. The
system was developed after
discussions with the Real estate
Institute of NSW and the Australian
Valuers Institute.
For a broker it's a great signup
incentive for potential clients as the
software package has a retail value of
$189. In addition to that, Equity+
provides a fantastic opportunity to
obtain referrals at the first meeting. It
should be mentioned that Equity+ is
not available as a download as the
program is designed for participating
brokers to meet with prospective
clients thereby substantially improving
the opportunity for conversion and
referrals.
The full Equity+ program is available
exclusively by area for a fixed low
monthly licence fee. Call now for more
details.
