RISMEDIA, November 15, 2006?How many new licensees wake up one morning and decide that Casper, Wyoming will be the lucrative, long-term location of their successful real estate career? Unlike Las Vegas, Naples, Boston, New York or California, the state isn?t necessarily top-of-mind for agents looking to start their new business. And yet, in this weeks? RISMedia/iSucceed Business Training & Development Call, ?Bolster Your Business: Become Builders? Best Friend,? available FREE at iSucceed, iSucceed Mentor and Wyoming Realtor? Lisa Burridge has not only survived in her market, but thrived.

With 24 years of experience, creativity, and tenacity, Burridge closed more than 220 transactions in 2005, many of them in land and new residential and commercial construction. Despite the fact that Casper doesn?t boast any of the earmarks of a location primed for an income-rich career, in this call Lisa explains how she built a solid business within ?just the right? niche. Now her business is going gangbusters.

During the interview, Burridge explains to listeners why she chose Wyoming, and the specific niche she now flourishes within; a curious story worth hearing. She also explains what distinguishes working with builders from working with residential buyers and sellers. Burridge says one of the biggest challenges agents face in working the builder niche is that most builders have a built-in distrust or dislike of working with agents. Burridge explains where this feeling comes from, and how to overcome it.

To ensure her continued success, Burridge has developed a relationship with local builders to ensure that they keep coming back for collaboration. In this informative call she characterizes her work with builders and the level of risk involved. Burridge also explains to the listeners interested in trying out her niche out, exactly how to begin.
