Helen Pastorino of Pertria Featured in Forbes ASAP

Helen Pastorino was referenced in Forbes’ ASAP Magazine for helping her business to thrive by acting swiftly and employing cutting edge technology to conduct business in real estate.

Los Gatos, CA, June 13, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Helen Pastorino, Founder and President of Pertria, was featured in Forbes’ ASAP Magazine, a leading source for news and information regarding technology, business and finance.

Pastorino was referenced for swiftly and successfully implementing cutting edge technology to expand her real estate business. Pastorino wasn’t planning on opening a third real estate office for at least another year, but when she learned a competitor was planning on closing its doors, she decided to launch. “Let’s do it,” said Pastorino.

She immediately began making calls and sending e-mails to secure the company’s lease and recruit staff including management, brokers and licensed salespeople.

She quickly focused her strategy and began executing the tasks necessary to open new offices including a pivotal press campaign and the creation of collateral materials for branding and marketing the business.

Only one week after her competitor’s office had announced its plans to close, Pastorino was opening her new Palo Alto office. “Helen is a strong woman,” said a former Grubb & Ellis executive, “More power to her.”

“I don’t know that you could move that fast without the technology,” admits Pastorino. But a big part of her success stems from her willingness to embrace new technology – for instance, insisting that email be adopted company wide before most even knew what email was or how it worked.

The following excerpts highlight Pastorino’s direct application of technology:

-Deploying e-mail to seize new markets is just one of the ways Pastorino has used technology to expand her business.

-Pastorino’s comprehensive approach to automation has made (her business) one of Northern California’s fastest-growing real estate firms.
