CHICAGO, May 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- HomeFinder.com,
a leading real estate search site, today announced its fourth
annual, HomeFinder.com Agent Transformation Sweepstakes Presented
by PNC Mortgage. This is the second year PNC Mortgage, a leading
financial services organization, is participating in the
sweepstakes. Five randomly chosen real estate agents will win a
two-night trip to Chicago from
October 6-8, 2015, for a complete
business and style makeover. All licensed real estate agents are
eligible to enter the sweepstakes, which will run through
August 14, 2015.
HomeFinder.com and PNC Mortgage want to provide the five winning
real estate agents and thousands of entrants with the real estate
specific tools and training they need to reinvent their business
and reinvigorate their passion for the industry. The National
Association of Realtors reports that the average real estate agent
has worked in the industry for over 12 years. In an effort to
maintain success and longevity in real estate, agents need to adopt
new tools and techniques to differentiate themselves in their local
markets.
"A willingness to learn and grow is crucial to maintain a
successful real estate business. With the recent development of new
digital tools and resources, agents have more ways than ever to
effectively manage their business," said Doug Breaker, president and CEO, HomeFinder.com.
"The goal of the HomeFinder.com Agent Transformation Sweepstakes is
to provide the five winning agents -- and thousands of entrants --
with the tools and information they need to reinvigorate their
passion for real estate and grow their business in a competitive
industry."
The five winners of the 2015 HomeFinder.com Agent Transformation
Sweepstakes Presented by PNC Mortgage will be flown to Chicago to receive one-on-one real estate
marketing training with industry leaders, work with a professional
business coach and social media strategist, and more. Each winner
will receive a style makeover that includes: a consultation with a
stylist and a new professional outfit, a new hairstyle, a makeup
consultation for the women, a shaving treatment for the men, and a
complete set of new professional headshots. All real estate agents
who enter the sweepstakes will be able to access digital marketing,
open house, and technology advice during and after the entry
period.
"This experience helped me realize who I am as an agent. After
returning home from Chicago, I
used the information I learned to really focus on which direction I
wanted to take my business," says Cindy
Harris, Coldwell Banker
Gosslee and 2014 HomeFinder.com Agent Transformation
Sweepstakes winner. "It was such a life-changing experience for me
to be a winner and now I am striving to be all that I can be as a
real estate agent."
Entrants will have the opportunity to win an all-expense-paid
trip to Chicago, as well as
valuable information on how to reinvent their business in a
competitive real estate market. Licensed real estate agents can
enter at agenttransformation.homefinder.com. Winners will be chosen
on or around August 14, 2015 and
contacted directly. The official rules can be found at
