Virtual Classroom: Branding and marketing are terms thrown around a lot, and while most agents realize the importance of having a personal brand, many don’t fully understand what a personal brand is, why it’s important, and how it can be leveraged to help grow their businesses. In this one hour course, we’ll define what a personal brand is as it pertains specifically to real estate agents, why it’s increasingly important to have one in the digital marketing age in which we live, and how to create a brand that will guide your marketing to grow your business.
