Awesome to have you Larry (looking forward to your Renaissance upgrade!)
100+ transactions per year… impressive! Congrats on your success.
Love your philosophy of ongoing relationships and support for the win. So much easiest to maintain trusted relationships than constantly be trying to hunt new ones. The best consultants know this (harder than it sounds since net new is so addictive)
Oh man! This is dangerous (knowing what “can” be done can lead to always trying to do it!) hah!
Love the intro Jesse! And thank you for your kind praise of Real Estate Webmasters.
Those photos? Not only do they look great, but they are a great link-building asset. If you’re ever interested in ideas on how you can approach that, feel free to start a thread on it in the SEO group and we can chat there.
Also, you gave a nice pro-tip, so I will as well. WebP Your Photos! (Do you know how to process/format into WebP?)
This format allows for far better image compression with less loss to image integrity. It’s the #1 thing we recommend for folks trying to improve their WPO (web performance optimization) scores. Check it out above, and again if you need WPO tips, feel free to find the right forum here and start a thread on any of that stuff. WPO is one of those things that is worth digging into. Great for user experience and search engines love it (Warning it’s addictive)
On your domain question - I want to say sell them, but I can’t.
Over my 25 years on the web, I have been surprised (more than once) with offers to buy domain names I didn’t even think had that much value. And I’m talking 6 figures in some case.
In fact, I bought my first home cash (no debt) off of a domain sale. Can you believe that?
So depending on how good they actually are, you never know!
Hi everyone! I’m Carrie Baker and I lead all things ‘People’ at Real Estate Webmasters, as the Head of People Operations. I have had the pleasure of working with this amazing team for the past 16 years. The team at REW is truly the BEST!

I love everything Real Estate. Whether it is consulting agents and teams on their marketing goals, or daydreaming of the day when I officially pass my licensing exam (they don’t make it easy, do they?)
My name is Shannon Barker, and I am an Account Manager here at REW. I was here for about 7 years and left to do some cool things, but knew one day I’d be back, and here I am, loving it, once again!!

Hello Everyone!
My name is Aayaam and I lead our Product and Agency teams at REW. It’s my sixth year here but feels like just yesterday when I joined this team of unbelievably talented people!
I am passionate about building, breaking, and re-building cool tech and have been fortunate to lead and work with some of the best product folks in India, UK, US and Canada for over 16 years now.
I am blessed to be married to an amazing woman (& a teacher), and together we have two little adorable monsters (2 and 4). As my better half puts it, “our days feel longer but weeks and years feel unbelievably shorter” however we wouldn’t have it any other way!
It’s lovely to meet you all here and look forward to getting to know you more!
PS: If you happen to be in Vancouver, hit me up for a cup of coffee or pint to talk about the latest tech trends in RE (& beyond), winning poker strategies, and/or maybe even planning a trip in Himalayas!
My name is Hanna, I’ve been part of the Customer Support team here at REW for 1 1/2 years now. Besides the day-to-day support, I also work on Concierge and some Implementation projects. I love concierge as it gives me the opportunity to build relationships with clients and I really enjoy helping improve their sites.
My husband and I have two (mostly) wonderful kids, aged 12 and 8, and when I’m not working I love spending time outdoors, snowboarding in the winter, hiking and camping in the summer, and running all year long.
And as for pets, sadly we lost our dog Scooby a few years ago and just don’t have the time to commit to a new puppy yet, but we’ll definitely have a dog again one day!
My name is Carly and I’m an Account Executive here at REW. I’m originally from Vancouver, BC but I’ve been living in Mexico for the past 13 years! I have two amazing kids, Nicolas and Noa. And we share our home with our two dogs and two cats.
Hello everyone! I am loving these introductions and getting to know you all.
Here’s mine!
My name is Stephanie Penney and I have been with REW approaching two years now. I started as an Implementation Specialist and was quickly promoted to Account Management. I love what I do and I love my team!
Before REW, I worked in luxury hospitality management. I’ve moved back and forth across Canada several times but have called British Columbia my home for the last 4 years. I can’t get enough of the ocean, lakes, and mountains considering most of my hobbies revolve around these environments. In my spare time, I stay pretty active as I love snowboarding, hockey, pole fitness, paddle boarding, dirt biking, and travelling! I love visiting new places, experiencing the local culture and trying new foods. I am also very passionate about music and being crafty (I love making costumes for Halloween, themed events, etc).
I’ve worked with REW as my website platform since I went full-time in real estate in 2020 and have since closed a little over 65M. I’m blessed to work in an area with really high average sales prices and amazing properties. I’m a huge SEO nerd and that’s why I went with REW. I recently closed a 9.75M deal off a blog article about moving to Maui. It takes time but it’s worth the work, your website will be what you make it, so make it awesome!
