HUNT REAL ESTATE ERA HOSTS BUSINESS LEADERS MEETING Nationally Recognized Speaker David Knox Discusses Lead Conversion

Buffalo, NY – July 9, 2012 – In keeping with their commitment to attract and develop the best talent in the real estate business, HUNT Real Estate ERA held its second quarterly Business Leaders meeting for 2012 on June 12 at the Buffalo/Niagara Millennium Hotel. Over 130 attendees were empowered with leading industry speaker David Knox’s expert advice on responding to customer leads generated through HUNT’s exclusive HUNT Hotline. The HUNT Hotline is a new technology tool introduced earlier in the year that allows customers to get instant information on any listing when and where they want it, 24/7, whether through voice, text or mobile site.

While other companies are scaling down and cutting resources due to challenging economic turns, HUNT Real Estate ERA has been turning on the investments – when it comes to providing their agents with the tools and systems they need to better service buyers and sellers today. David Knox has been a featured speaker at HUNT regional events over the years, and the company makes his leading videos and training resources available to all their agents through HUNT University.

“Our customers’ needs have changed over the years, and they want detailed property information instantly,” said Peter F. Hunt, Chairman and CEO of HUNT Real Estate Corporation. “They also demand an immediate response when they reach out, and thanks to the HUNT Hotline and David Knox’s valuable teaching skills we can offer customers just that,” Hunt continued.

HUNT Real Estate ERA has been servicing home buyers and sellers successfully for 101 years, and it has done so by keeping up with the times and technology, and providing their agents with the tools they need to help them service their clients with excellence.
