e-Agent is a Real Estate Authority, REA Approved Provider. e-Agent delivers CPD training to licensed real estate agents, on its proprietary online platform.
e-Agent assists Skills with real estate specific CPD content development and review.
The e-Agent Directory is a subsidiary of e-Agent NZ Ltd. Its mission is to provide real estate agents and consumers with a moderated secure meeting-place.
e-Agent, Inc the parent company of e-Agent NZ Ltd was born quite literally, from the ashes of a catastrophe, the 9/11 attack on The World Trade Centre. Joshua Konowe was a New York City based media account representative.
His clients included many of the firms with offices in the Trade Centre Towers, most notably Canter-Fitzgerald. When the attack occurred, Joshua was spared, as he was just a few minutes late for a breakfast meeting at the Windows On The World, located in the North Tower on the 106th & 107th floors.
As the towers fell, Josh's career vanished as well. After a period of mourning and recovery Josh and his parents (Lee & Denese Konowe) set about creating a "new plan" for Josh. As Denese was then the owner of a national real estate brand (Envirian, llc.), with a wealth of real estate experience and a national presence, it was suggested that Joshua might find successes in the Realtor Services sector and e-Agent, llc was born.
e-Agent was conceived to be an online skills training environment, tethered to a lead generation platform. Within months e-Agent was serving thousands of American Realtors. As part of this developmental effort, Joshua and his family relocated to Reston, Virginia in 2002 and both Envirian and e-Agent constructed a joint headquarters.
1889 Preston White Drive, Reston, Virginia. Reston whose Internet nickname is "NetPlex" or "Silicon Alley", was the East coast centre for technology and both companies flourished.
The commonality between Envirian and e-Agent was the "Lead". For e-Agent generating leads for agents throughout the United States focused on a "Protected Territory" (zip postal code). Agents competed for this exclusivity and once designated the flow of leads was a function of e-Agent lead generation.
This model permitted agents to focus their attention on serving their clients, not hunting for new business. E-Agent did not adjust lead flow on any measure of salesperson performance, allowing licensees to sub-contract excess leads, thus developing a cadre of co-operating agents.
In addition to lead generation, e-Agent also became the first online provider of continuing education opportunities for its agent population. This "spin-off" allowed e-Agent to offer up skilling courseware to its agents and thus became the model for e-Agent NZ Ltd in New Zealand.
Envirian used similar lead generation technologies, but applied the leads to in-house agents and subsequently to franchises developed across the United States. In the Envirian model, agent responsiveness and client satisfaction were the drivers for lead distribution and Envirian developed an entire process driven software platform to ultimately support some 61 offices and 500+ sales agents.
In 2004 Lee and Denese visited New Zealand and "the die was cast". Returning to Reston, they committed to a new Kiwi lifestyle and in 2006, finally completed their relocation, bring with them massive amounts of e-Agent technologies and established e-Agent NZ Ltd.
In the last eleven years, Lee and Denese have continued their real estate training system development, along with their unique approaches to online real estate marketing.
For those wondering about Joshua, he has now "fathered" five technology companies and splits his time, between Reston and San Francisco offices.
I would highly recommend e-agent NZ. The course material is easy to follow, you can do it whenever it suits you, taking a break whenever you like. They are also very helpful if you have any queries. It is the easiest way to complete your training.
Good way of doing your training, fast and easy access.
I felt this course had better delivery and didnt feel so tedious and time consuming, I also liked the combination of quizzes and case examples. Finally I liked how the case examples were on the same page as the question so you can re read and clarify without have to go back and forth in the pages.
Excellent course, easy to follow and lots of fun.
I would participate in this training in the future, it was good to be able to do it at my pace when I wanted to.
I enjoy the online method of learning as it is up to me and me only to complete as opposed to sitting in a room all day and not being required to participate.
I had used e agent previously. Our provider last year is no longer doing verifiable training so I suggested we give e agent a go because of the convenience. The whole office has or will be training through e agent this year. The feedback so far has been great because everyone can study at a time that suits them. Easy and simple.
Its a great feeling to start the year off knowing that all verifiable and non-verifiable training was behind me. I purchased the 10 + 10 and found this easy and effective to use and best of all, in my own time at my own pace. Will be doing the same come January 2018.
I have used e-Agent for my REA license since start up. I find it easy to use, very informative, prompt answers to queries. Strongly recommend to anyone in Real Estate.
E-Agent is the best! Such an easy way to do your continuing education. The service is fantastic, any question at any time of the day is never a problem. Thanks and look forward to my continuing association with you.
E Agent is very easy as I can do it when I have the time - very convenient and easy to use.
I have used e-Agent for several years and find their courses and their content straight forward, easy to use and relevant. I would recommend them without qualification.
Great way to get training done, in your own time, at your own pace. Stop and start at a whim. Super efficient use of time with great backup.
Very well put together course.
Very simple to follow the course, well designed and educational.
Superior way to complete your REA study requirements. Professional, In depth subject coverage, Phone or email support, Excellent suggestions of how to grow your business with great incentives. Highly recommended.Why travel to study when you can complete it at your leisure in the peace and privacy of your own home. Which reminds me I must complete this years study before they thoughtfully send me a reminder about how fast the year is zooming by.Before we know it the deadline will be upon us once again. Thank you & well done e-Agent.
Hi. I have just completed your non verified course on Better Photography and feel compelled to make the following comment !:
What an absolutely amazing course ! The detail included is really too much to absorb in the time allocated; but the course is truly a course which has caused me to sit back, pause and become very excited about the possibilities which have been introduced to me !
I believe that the course is soo enthralling and its presentation, so well done, that it really requires being lifted OUT OF THE NON VERIFIED LEVEL and placed into the level of COMPULSORY , involvement.
Thank you Lee, for such an amazing experience !
In my opinion, this is by far the best 10hours of Verifiable Training that there has been. Congrats
Another great course this year. Thank you.
A very professionally run course that was smooth and in my opinion I wouldnt do it any other way.
E Agent learning is the easiest way to do your 10 by 10 learning, excellent savings too if you pay early. No traveling or extra expense and you can do it in your own time. This years course was the best. Help on hand is great too, very easy to talk over issues and learn.
This was a great experience of learning, I really enjoyed it and found it very helpful. thanks.
I highly recommend e-agent I have used e- agent for a number of years. I signed up hoping to improve my knowledge , with my real estate knowledge, but I left with vastly more. I learned formulas i can apply to all my real estate needs and life skills. not only was the course both fun and challenging, but e- agent support was invaluable e-agent had logical method of teaching. that truly connected and inspired me. I cant speak highly enough of this course. heather burns
