April 11, 2011 – Vancouver, B.C., Canada – Sutton Group – West Coast Realty, today announced a strategic alliance with Mac Station to provide specialized technology training and support to Sutton West Coast’s 1,700 plus REALTORS.
“There is a big misconception in our industry that Apple based solutions are not for Real Estate Professionals, but we think different,” said Josh Heppner, COO of Sutton West Coast Realty. “In fact the easy to use solutions hitting the market today from Apple, such as the iPad and Macbook Air, are exactly the tools our REALTORS want to use. Real Estate is an outside sales business and our REALTORS are more mobile than ever. They must have the tools at their fingertips that give them instant access to information, expedite their ability to communicate with their clients and help them efficiently market properties to a broad audience. To lead the way, our office managers have been fitted with iPads to power communications and presentations both in the office and on the road.”
As part of Sutton West Coast’s educational and professional development programs, Mac Station will provide both in-class training and specialized one-on-one support for REALTORS as they get setup and make decisions on technology purchases for their business. Since 2003, Mac Station has consistently earned the Consumers’ Choice Award for Business Excellence as a result of their dedication to quality and service for their clients.
“We’re thrilled with the opportunity to support Sutton West Coast’s REALTORS with solutions that make their life easier and more effective,” said Harald Sinow, CEO of Mac Station. “Our team is committed to providing the best Apple solutions for our customers and we have already seen a tremendous response from within the Real Estate Industry as they now use these solutions on a daily basis. With the introduction of the new iPad2 the possibilities are truly endless for how these tools can be integrated and we’re here to support Sutton West Coast as they embrace and lead REALTORS through this shift in the real estate industry.”
“Apple has a knack for creating powerful products that are easy to adopt for business,” said Mr Heppner. “Our relationship with Mac Station is a natural fit. They too are dedicated to guiding our REALTORS® through the maze of technologies available to them today and can help each REALTOR choose the solutions that work best for their business. We’re seeing more and more tech-savvy REALTORS join our company and this partnership will help them serve their clients with an even higher level of service.”
