Today’s housing market is not merely what it was in 2007. While the market is making strides, or rather trudges in the right direction, it will probably take years until the industry no longer uses the ‘in-over-their-head’ expressions, and one of every three listing signs don’t have ‘forclosure’ displayed in every neighborhood.
Everyone has, one way or another, been affected by the housing recession, yet nobody can tell you about the ongoing frustration like a relator working pre-crisis and the present market.
“I was looking at purchasing a nice boat, now… I thank god every day that I didn’t.”
A local St. Augustine realtor was questioned about the housing market a decade ago compared to the present. He said “Many realtors working this industry in the early 2000s, have since quit, transferring through offices, or simply found themselves discouraged and living settlement to settlement.
It’s time to make commission a word of excitement, not stability. So how can we make commission regularity? How can we stick it to the market? How can we surpass our real estate closing goals twice over?
Simple… Digitize, and Modernize!
The answer has made into reality. It took a young entrepreneur Jamie Cubeta, founder of eConnect Card Systems, Inc. to usher in the biggest change to how Real Estate Agents market themselves and their listings.

QR Codes (Quick Response) We are starting to see them everywhere?
In every magazine, flyers, store windows, vehicles, and other advertisements.
QR codes… but why?
As generation X advances technologically, anything and everything ‘manual’ seems tedious and more-so just unnecessary. While some may see it equally as simple to type in a web address, or other information, the reality of the matter is: most don’t and more importantly- most won’t.
So what is a Smart Sign? And what is so ‘SMART’ about it?
A smart sign brings your potential customers into your business circle faster than ever before. It allows you to be easily accessible, and directs your potential customers directly to your eConnectCard that displays your contact information, websites, blogs, newsletters, featured listings, and social networks.
Having a smart sign takes the potential client right from the sea of people and puts them into your personal net. This is technology that has been, and is being proven 200% more effective that that of a name-number-email displayed on the traditional sign. Having a smart sign converts into cold hard- SALES.
