Take Two – Getting Used to the Video Camera
I am intrigue by the power of video. Armed with a video enabled cell phone people have captured footage that has captured our minds and hearts. Why? Video allows an emotion connection because it involved more senses, sight sound and feelings! Think about it. Video has consumed America. Youtube claims that half of Americans view videos and share then virally ...

A Question = Great Input on Contact Management Software
The other day, a client of mine asked this in an email: “Quick question: Which real-estate specific contact management software do you believe is best if the agent wants the “cadillac” of online marketing resource options?—or perhaps the top two programs?” Instead of just answering my thoughts I posted this as a discussion on the National Association of REALTORS Group ...
Web Sites: Template or Custom?
Photo Credit Template Sites Suck I was stumbling through the Internet today and wound up on a post written by a vendor that supplies custom (well, semi-custom really) web sites to real estate agents. No, I’m not going to link to it because it’s not really germane to the discussion. And it’s strikingly similar to about half a jillion posts ...
Technology Advances that Ain’t
Photo Courtesy of Freshwater2006 Technology Rules I know that as an active Blogger and a participant in Web 2.0 that technology is the center of the Universe. I love great places to find things to do on the web, and agentgenius has been a source of some of those great places. Like Vicki Moore’s recent blog about DocStoc or when ...

Make Browsing Your Site Easy
Back in my day We’ve come a long way with Internet design. I started coding HTML back in 1992 roughly 3 years before HTML 2.0 was formalized. I was 12. I’ve seen a lot of evolution of web design over the years, starting out with basic text pages with links to other text pages. We went through a phase when ...

Death By Real Estate Offer Writing Software
When transactions really get messy, the representation offered by agents is superseded by that offered by the lawyers. We’re like the kids in the back, strapped into car seats and sucking on pacifiers while Mom and Dad sort out where we’re all going. We aren’t lawyers. Brokers are pretty keen on explaining that to new agents. Don’t write contract clauses ...
To Think We Ever Complained About Zestimates
