International Real Estate, Auction Firm Reiterates its Commitment to Continuing Education

March 22, 2013 // Franchising.com // KANSAS CITY, Mo. – United Country auctioneers and real estate experts arrived in full force at the Annual National Land Conference for the REALTORS® Land Institute in Las Vegas March 18 through 20. United Country Real Estate, the largest national traditional and auction, lifestyle and rural real estate company, was a proud platinum conference sponsor, and the firm’s affiliates made up roughly 10 percent of those in attendance.

“Overall, United Country was well-represented at the event and participated in many conversations with professional land brokers from around the country,” said Myers Jackson, national director of development for United Country Auction Services. “The comments in the halls were that this was the best land conference yet. I have met dozens of new contacts that will be a lifelong investment.”

United Country team members were on-hand to aid the learning process in any way they could during the three-day event. Jackson led a round table session on how to properly market property using the online-only auction method. Along with Curt Marshall, auctioneer and REALTORS® with United Country – Theurer Auction/Realty, LLC, of Wellington, Kan., he also assisted incoming RLI President George Clift with the Cowboy Auction and helped raise $30,000 for RLI.

Doug Adams, international director of development for United Country Real Estate, met with dozens of interested parties requesting information about the unique advantages of affiliating with the 88-year-old rural real estate and auction services company.

“As the largest integrated real estate auction and land company in the U.S., United Country feels it is extremely important to reinvest in the education and professional development of the land brokerage business,” said Adams. “By making this investment, it ensures the buying and selling public will always want to use a Realtor that is an Accredited Land Consultant – designated by RLI – to assist them with their land transaction needs.”

Other United Country attendees included Travis Birdsong, broker and owner of United Country –Birdsong Auction and Real Estate Group, LLC, out of Poplar Bluff, Mo.; Jib Davidson, forester and broker of United Country – Land & Lifestyle Properties of Gainesville, Fla.; Bart Miller, broker of United Country – Mason & Morse Ranch Company headquartered on Glenwood Springs, Colo.; Kimberly Wilson, broker with United Country – Premier Estates in Tampa, Fla; as well as many others who attended committee meetings, break-out sessions and networked with other land specialists.

“Attending this event will certainly make me more commissions for years to come,” said Jackson. “If you’re in the land business and not a member of the Realtors Land Institute, then you need to join today.”

The RLI has plans to approve a new course that will be added to its Land University. Jackson will teach a course on technology entitled “Building Business with Search Engines and Social Media.” This course will allow members of RLI and non-members alike to learn new marketing techniques through the fastest growing media source in the world. Brokers, agents and auctioneers will learn how to build a successful blog, implement keyword search, use linking strategies and properly utilize social media.

“I’m honored to join an elite group of instructors and travel the country helping others improve their online existence,” Jackson said.
