“My experience at REBarCamp, reverberated throughout my marketing psyche for weeks. I knew that our realtor association had to partner with Ricardo Bueno. Ricardo has become a rock star in clearly defining social media as a business development tool for real estate professionals. Ricardo gives a ton of presentations a month and they never sound canned. He is genuinely connected and tuned in to the needs of REALTORS and he’s an incredible guide through the social media maze of information. Just great!”

“Ricardo’s understanding of how to utilize social media for business is remarkable. He proved the model by using the tools himself and now shares his knowledge with others to raise the bar for the mortgage and real estate industries. Ricardo led a session on LinkedIn at REtechSouth and the positive comments continue to pour in. Ricardo is a leader in our industry and I look forward to working with him again in the future.”

“I needed a speaker for an Association of Realtors on very short notice and he came through with flying colors! With such a solid foundation on information, organization and style Ricardo was able to “snap” something together. All because he is so into the topics he teaches, naturally disposing solutions and not what you want to hear. He comes prepared leaving everyone just as prepared, and wanting to do more to help their business.
But almost most of all Ricardo is a good listener, always taking a moment to get to the bottom of what the audience asks. Because who wants a speaker giving big speech and leaving? Totally delivers and makes everyone comfortable with the subject!”

“Ricardo combines youthful exuberance with proven results. He understands the power of the new social media, but more importantly, how it is effectively and practically implemented in everyday business. He has successfully applied social media to improve & enhance his own business practice, and is gifted in helping others learn how to achieve the same powerful results. His working knowledge of social media is surpassed only by his genuine warmth and likable charm.”

“I met Ricardo at Inman Connect 2009. He was one of the panelists discussing Social Media best practices. Later that day he led a discussion as a break out session for attendees. He’s a soft-spoken guy but his words really have an impact on a topic he is obviously passionate about and has great insight.
I followed up on one of the ideas from Ricardo’s break out session and introduced it to a group of Realtors at my office and it took on a life of it’s own.
I’d recommend consulting with Ricardo on Social Media topics and how you or your company might be more strategic in how to invest your time there. He’s knowledgeable, well-connected and talks from direct experience on this fascinating topic.”

“Ricardo is one of those guys that just gets it! His grasp on social media is impressive and his ability to break it down into simple terms solidifies him as a thought leader in this space. He has been a source of inspiration and not only is he a talented individual, he’s a good guy. I highly recommend him.”

“In the process of setting up my real estate company and website I purchased the Diverse Solutions products for integrated IDX search and display on my website. The “bonus” that came with this purchase was Ricardo who is a great resource not just for implementing the IDX products, but for best practices in setting up your website for navigation, SEO, conversion, lead management, and more.”

“Had a serious problem with my custom website in the display on different browsers and various I.T persons had no idea as to the cause to allow for a solution. Ricardo was contacted and he researched the problem till he found a solution and rectified the problem. I was amazed at the short time frame taken to resolve the problem and install the fix. I would recommend Ricardo as a true professional and expert in his field as he brought me quick peace of mind to a critical problem and concern.”

“Ricardo is a engaging and knowledgeable speaker on all things Internet and social media. He spoke recently at the RESA International Home Staging Conference in Las Vegas. All in attendance agreed he really knows his subject and presents it in a way that’s easily understood by Internet neophytes and geeks alike. His personal charm makes him a very engaging speaker.”
