 In life there are most often "Easy Ways" of getting to our goal, but there are also "Harder Ways". Now, sometimes we immediately "Know" which is the easy way and will take it, just about every time. The hard way, that is a different story. Most often, when I take the hard way, it is because I am simply unaware there is an easier way to go. Now, at age 77 (yes, I have a baby face; meaning only a new-born baby would think it attractive), but I still tend to do things the way I always have, until someone or something shows me a better way. Yes, I am that someone and today's is the better way day! HARD WAY: Never elect the hard way if there is an easy way to get the job done! EASY WAY: Step 1. Type e-agent.nz in your browser (Chrome; Safari; Firefox; Opera; Edge or other). Hit "Return or Enter" on your keyboard. Step 2. There is no Step 2... you are done! You are at the e-Agent Homepage, easy-pease. So, the next time you want to drop-in on e-Age...

  It is important to consider the relationship between regulatory requirements and successful marketing.  Customers and clients see professional behaviour as a positive sign, when seeking an agent.

 New Trend: Smaller Kiwi websites are now being targeted for hacking; disruption & data theft.  First they came for the government, but mine was not a New Zealand government site, so I did not take the threat seriously; then they attacked the banks , but we aren't a bank, so I noticed, but remained reasonably calm; But, suddenly this weekend, they (the overseas hackers) came for e-Agent's website (www.e-agent.nz) and for the next 24 hours I could not focus on anything else. So, what kind of attack was it? No, not your run-of-the-mill Denial of Service Attack, though they have tried that at times. This attack was aimed to scrape the site for code to steal, this triggered several old email scripts to run and send out old emails to clients.  At no time was the database at risk. e-Agent uses one of the best IT/Programming services ( JB Metrics Ltd ) to protect us, while acting as our program developmental partner.. and boy are we glad we made that decision!
