Aaron Blackman of St. Louis Park, MN is a real estate agent who was just a little bit ahead of his time.
All of our our agents have their own stories of how they ended up at IBR. Aaron’s story was unusual; a large real estate corporation he was working for actually recommended IBR to him. Aaron was working as their lead IT guy at the time. Aaron has a love and talent for technology, but is also a self starter with strong interpersonal skills. Aaron wanted to try his hand at real estate sales. For some inexplicable reason, his company discouraged him. They did not want him to be working in real estate and in IT at the same time. His move to IBR was the obvious solution to the dilemma. IBR gave him the freedom to exercise both skill-sets in any manner he chose. This transfer to IBR actually turned out to be a bonanza for our company.
Aaron’s technical background includes training at Dunwoody and Brown. He is a Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) and holds an Associate Degree in Electronics. In addition to being a rep for Agent Office, he is the only certified ZipForm trainer in the state. Aaron has been involved in nationwide training programs for MLS systems and agent productivity software. Advanced real estate certifications include the GRI designation.
Aaron’s technical skills serve his client and his fellow IBR agents very well. Clients can expect cutting edge marketing tools and enormous internet exposure for their properties. Also, his skills have been put to work at the office. Aaron is IBR’s corporate technology trainer, and his classes include everything from ToolKitCMA to website setup to ZipForm training. His webinars have become a cornerstone of IBR training for new agents and veteran agents alike. He now wears three hats at Independent Brokers Realty: trainer, REALTOR, and IT consultant.
The corporation that referred Aaron to IBR is probably kicking itself. As the real estate market becomes more competitive, and the real estate technology evolves, hi-tech skills become more important to all agents. If Aaron is the only ZipForm certified professional in the state, he is going to be one busy guy as realty companies transition to the “paperless office.”
