Real Estate Webmasters

REW - Special thanks!

I'm back! I really debated writing this blog entry post but I think it's important people really understand the impact REW as made in my life. I'm sure there are other similar stories out there.

As many of you know I married the woman of my dreams last November in Aruba.  Unfortunately, in early May she was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.  She passed away the last week of September in her forties.  One of her gifts to me is a beautiful son who has never known his real father.

I first heard of Real Estate Webmasters about 5 years ago.  I had just purchased a 10k website from another so called real estate web design firm. The problems began rapidly....no access to backend, no seo benefits, months to add additional pages, no customer support, no forum and so on.  I joined the REW forum and within days Morgan Carey called me and converted my website into a functioning website.  All this for a few hundred bucks!!

As time went on I added a few other agents to the website to work leads etc.  I then launched www.lakenormanbuyersagent.com  a few years ago.  A nice template website that has pulled in alot of high dollar leads this past year.  Like a good bottle of red wine it just keeps getting better. I now have three REW sites and can't wait to have a new LEC to replace my original crappy website..  We now have a team of agents and will add 2-3 more this year.

Back to the story.  From what I've learned on the forum, the first REW conference (simply awesome...really missed you guys this year) and having these websites has changed my life.  *It allowed me the freedom to not work since early May and still make a living*  I was able to be with my wife all day every day and keep care of her and take her to the finest medical facilities in this country.  This will also allow me to spend time with her son who truly has been dealt a difficult hand.  How do you put a price on something like that?

Tough year? Yeah - but having a great team of agents and great family and friends and the #1 real estate website firm in this world is truly a blessing!!  To the entire team @ REW and to Morgan Carey....you really touch alot more peoples live's than you really know! See you all @ the next REW conference. Happy holidays to all! - Tim

Tim, wanted to say sorry for your loss but I'm sure being able to take the time to spend with your wife when it counted was a real blessing. I'm sure you will be able to keep growing your team and building your business on your own terms. Hope we will meet again at a future REW conference.
