While you may be in D.C. or Los Angeles, South Florida, etc, your prospects may be interested in a second home in Costa Rica or Dominican Republic, Florida, the mountians, etc. The idea is by having a diverse resort section on your webpage, you not only position yourself as an international agent, you can capture prospects and earn referral fees for sales in other areas — and provide information to consumers. Everyone wins!

Adding a resort section is very easy to do.  Go to www.AgentShield.com and sign up for a free account.  The site will walk you through the 3 steps simple steps.  If you don’t edit your own website, the last step gives you the option to send the instructions to your webmaster to complete.  It’s that EASY!
