50 Days of Leaders: Educating Consumers

 Print Article

RISMEDIA, August 31, 2007–Educating consumers on the home buying process is key to creating successful agent-buyer relationships, says Dawn Laneis. In fact, her company recently received a Congressional award for their efforts toward housing education. Read why this earned her status on this year’s Realtors on the Rise contest.Dawn Laneis

Double duty: In addition to her full-time work as a broker, Laneis is also founder of the HOPE (Housing Opportunity Programs and Education) Program. Award-winner: Laneis’ company recently received a Congressional award for their work with the HOPE Program. Educating the masses: Laneis’ brokerage holds several home-buyer workshops throughout the year to help educate consumers on the home-buying process and the many government programs available to assist them in financing.
After 15 years in an abusive situation, Dawn Laneis found the courage to leave the place that kept her captive physically and emotionally. Homeless and living in her car, Laneis gained strength from her situation. She developed a program that would help people who never thought they could buy a home. By helping them, she says she helped herself. Over the past three years, Laneis and her partner, Cynthia Bologna, have helped more than 300 families buy homes in the Las Vegas area.

Agents who want to advance their careers and learn what it takes to become successful in today’s changing market like Laneis should plan to attend this year’s Leadership Conference in New York City on Sept. 5 & 6. With dozens of industry leading speakers and educational sessions and plenty of high-level networking time, it’s an event not to miss.
