- My name is Manos Findikakis,
I'm the director and CEO of the Eview Group.
We commenced trading in 2006.
We've grown to be a national organisation
with over 30 offices and a team of over 250.
We established ourselves in Victoria initially
and we've expanded into New South Wales,
Queensland, South Australia, and in Perth.
Our intention is to have an Eview Group Proud Member office
in every suburb of Australia,
and we're Australia's first multi-brand real estate network
which allows our offices to trade under their own brand
but obviously being a proud member of the Eview Group.
- I think marketing has changed so much
because of social media and because of the ease of it.
Everyone is a marketing expert these days.
The real estate salesperson can go out
and learn a little bit and they're able
to actually do their own marketing for their own company
and get their name out there as much as they can.
If they'll put a little attention behind it,
and if they have the right tools.
- We decided to build a new website
because we were using our original website more as
a business card but not so much as a lead generation tool.
- We partnered with Stepps because we've met
with the guys from Stepps,
Josh and his team,
years ago just talking about social media
and different things,
and we've always found it really,
really easy to work with them.
One thing that I really love about the guys
and the team at Stepps is that I understand them.
We're not IT people, we're not,
we're real estate salespeople, we're business owners,
but IT is a totally different level.
But, talking to the guys,
they always make you feel at ease,
and they'll make you understand
what it is that you need for your business.
- We did a lot of homework before we selected Stepps.
We had looked at a number
of different providers in the space,
but with the experience that we'd seen through Stepps
and seen the measured results, it was a no-brainer.
- Working with the guys at Stepps,
I think the thing that we enjoyed the most
was the collaboration.
We were able to sit down and tell them we want this,
we want this differently,
and they were able to listen and then deliver.
- We're a couple of months into our website now,
we've already seen results,
we're already seeing lead generation,
but we feel comfortable, as well,
that Stepps is at the forefront of technology.
We know it's going to change,
we know in 12 months time, 24 months time,
there will be new technologies
and we know that Stepps will be at the forefront,
and obviously, to guide us through that process, as well.
And we really look forward to working, obviously,
with Josh and the rest of the Stepps team.
