Aaron Norris of The Norris Group Joins Bruce Norris on the Real Estate Radio Show #425

Bruce Norris is joined this week by his own son and vice president of the Norris Group, Aaron Norris. Aaron wears lots of hats at the Norris Group and has been responsible for changing the look of their education materials. The first document they did was the California Crash, where at the event Bruce heard audible gasps people were so amazed by the changes. They went from lots of information to Goldman Sachs type material. Coming from a Wall Street background and doing acquisitions and merger presentations, Aaron became nerdy at PowerPoint, Word, Excel, and Adobe. Once you start getting into some of the fancier programs and everything Bruce likes to do, it is the perfect blend. Bruce and Aaron discuss the many changes they will be implementing and have implemented at their company The Norris Group, including their new mobile-friendly website, their charts and seminar books with up-to-date information, their new digitized material, new videos on specific topics ranging from mold to termite inspection, new partnership opportunities, the new social media outlets, and much, much more on this week's Norris Group real estate radio show and podcast.
