Hello. I'm Bob Coan. I am the President and co-founder of ThinkFree Realty in Tustin.
We have developed one of the most advanced systems ever to buy and sell Orange County Real Estate. I started selling computers in 1982 and over the next 20 years became of the most successful software Value Added Resellers in the world, with offices in Irvine, Encino, Santa Barbara, and Santa Clara. The entire business was focused on automating the workflows of the biggest companies in California, including Walt Disney Imagineering, Hughes Aircraft, Sony Pictures, JPL, and many more. We won the prestigious Dealer of the Year award over 10 times.
Now I’m in Real Estate and have built my brokerage to leverage the new Web 2.0 technology that is changing the way we work and play these days. We are not only licensed agents, brokers, but my partner is a licensed lawyer and oversees every transaction, as well as doing the negotiations on our deals. This is just one of the many ways we go above and beyond to call of duty to serve our clients at the highest possible level. Our team is top notch in every aspect of real estate market, escrow, real estate law, and online marketing.
We are proficient at using advanced online search engine optimization, and have setup a series of strategic alliances for quick and powerful distribution of our listings. We have a ThinkFreeBlog to send strategic messages to the blogosphere and the results are amazing. I use an Apple Final Cut Studio system with a 30" display, along with 12 mp digital cameras, and a pair of Sony HDV Video Cameras for media capture. We know how to get your listing noticed all over the world. No kidding. See my website for more information.
ThinkFree Realty is a technology savey Real Estate Brokerage.
A short guide for the Internet consumer
When you're on the Internet, you don't have time to waste on endless searches for useful real estate information. You want to get things done quickly and without hassle. So chances are you'd like a real estate agent who
Answers e-mail promptly and professionally.
Respects your on-line privacy.
Offers home listings and other Internet tools to help you find or market a home.
Enter the e-PRO.
An e-PRO is a REALTOR® who has successfully completed the e-PRO training program for real estate professionals. Endorsed by the National Association of REALTORS®, the e-PRO course teaches professionals the nuts and bolts of working with real estate on-line: Web sites, e-mail, on-line tools, and most of all, what today's consumer really wants.
What does all this mean to you? There are several benefits of working with a certified Internet professional.
More privacy
Are you reluctant to give out contact information through the Web for fear of being pestered or spammed? e-PROs understand. They've learned the Web isn't just a place to do business; you need information from someone you can trust.
That's why e-PROs respect your privacy. They respond quickly to your questions, but don't send you unwanted communication. And they protect your personal information.
Less hassle
Tired of struggling to find information? e-PROs are more likely to have access to the latest Internet utilities, making your life easier. These tools may include:
On-line home tours
Instant access to comprehensive neighborhood data
Extensive property listings
Immediate e-mail notification of just-listed homes meeting your criteria
Referral networks and on-line forums, where e-PROs can quickly find information——even potential buyers——from other e-PROs
Newsletters on current real estate conditions in your area
Electronic faxes sent to you by e-mail
Advanced software, PDAs, and laptops to find you answers on the spot
The result: you get more information, more easily. With electronic files, you have less paperwork to deal with. And since your agent uses e-mail, you can even eliminate phone tag. The e-PRO streamlines your entire transaction, from showing to closing.
Less expense
An e-PRO's access to advanced technology can save you considerable expense. You have more tools to find or market your home, so you're likely to get a better price. With on-line home tours, you reduce in-person showings——and the costs involved. And by using e-mail, you save money on long-distance calls and fax charges.
Relocating? An e-PRO is ideal for you. With the tools to do your research electronically, you can make a decision on a home the first day you're in town——or without traveling at all. You and your family save on travel costs. And after you've decided to buy, monitoring the sale by e-mail saves you even more.
Should you use an e-PRO? Yes——especially if you're an Internet user. In this fast-paced age, technology has become a necessity. An e-PRO is someone who has recognized and responded to the needs of the new consumer. If you choose an e-PRO, it's a safe bet you'll get the kind of service you want——and need.
