      <description>&lt;p&gt;An ancient military principle holds that the size of your assets plays no direct role on the probability of success.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is why an unbent bow has no power, but only has power when its assets - its string, bow, and arrow - are drawn into the proper formation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can create great power by simply coordinating around you what has not been previously coordinated.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The realtor's client base is an enormous asset&amp;nbsp;which is currently being viewed only from a one dimensional angle by the realtor &amp;amp; the traditional mortgage industry.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Instead, Alera Express opens the game up for the realtors to PARTICIPATE and be INVOLVED like never before.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;AND THEY&amp;nbsp;NOW RECEIVE COMMISSIONS ON THE LOAN REVENUE. THINK IN A RANGE OF 25 -30% !&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Now,&amp;nbsp;realtor, client base&amp;nbsp;and mortgage pro are all partners together in a linked business plan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The sum of the parts is vastly more valuable than before. To all concerned.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is what is driving the success of Alera Express.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Remember how Dell broke the mold and went consumer direct?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;NetFlix bypassed video rental stores &amp;amp; Avon innovated through independent sales agents? Innovators, all of them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;This stratagem&amp;nbsp;plays on that&amp;nbsp;the market...competitors, suppliers, customers...tends to fixate on one path to the consumer.&amp;nbsp; The older the industry, the more this fixation is particularly strong, which creates an opportunity for the acute strategist.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When you know what your competitors expect. surprise them by giving them what they do not.&amp;nbsp; As yourself 3 questions:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; What does my market assume is the right path?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Given this, what unorthodox path would they not copy quickly?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; What would happen if I took this path?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In Alera Express we have exploited this opportunity.&amp;nbsp; We are changing the established path.&amp;nbsp; We are INNOVATORS!&lt;/p&gt;</description>
