I have learned a lot about the internet and have actually sold homes to some of my web leads. I think Realtors should keep doing the things that are working for them, but also listen to the teachers who can see where real estate is headed. Most buyers are finding their home on the internet these days, so it pays to listen up. Keep teaching it anyway.

In which case, its easy enough to show clients and create an awareness. Believe it or not, I work with realtors that do not use email. Now that is hanging on to tradition way too long.

I am reminded that what we’re doing now to reach our clients maybe be “old school” in the not to distant future. I just hope we’re all open to new ideas each time we hear one. Even if we don’t incorporate it into our own practice, it’s beneficial to know what others are doing." Amen. “MIke, your point is well taken.

Although the medium of conversing with clients has moved to the internet through blogs and social media, it is still "spending face time" with a client. Furthermore, the old ways of calling and holding seminars still work. It just a new marketing medium. The more things change, the more things stay the same.

HIM - "You gotta send them, right?" ME - "Hey, whatever works for you." HIM - "Oh, it hasn't worked but you still gotta do it." ME (internal dialogue engaged) - Why? The Internet and the web-based consumer is creating new opportunities and new challenges all at the same time. At happy hour yesterday one of my office's top producers was disparaging web leads as flaky. Many are. Many aren't. The percentages run about the same as floor calls, sign calls and all of my other lead generation efforts. But there's an added perception colored by a lack of understanding of the medium. (Wow, did I really write that last sentence after being awake only 40 minutes? COOL!) Heard at a lender’s office the other day about a mass mailing to go out.

HIM – “You gotta send them, right?”

ME – “Hey, whatever works for you.”

We are not only changing WHAT we are doing, but we are changingthe entire fundamentals of HOW we are in business. And a large part of that change is realizing that "change" in and of itself is not always a bad thing. ” I am reminded that what we’re doing now to reach our clients maybe be “old school” in the not to distant future.
