The Real Estate business is much different now than it was just a few years ago. Did you know that over 70%+ of buyers use the internet to search for a home? No longer are you dependent on Real Estate Agent to pull up the most current MLS listings. The information is available to everyone that has a computer and an internet connection. You can view Virtual Tours which almost eliminates the need to go to an open house. You have access to Satellite photos (put link to a satellite photo of home) that give you views of the surrounding neighborhood.
Like most Real Estate Agents I had another occupation before embarking in a Real Estate career. I was a software engineer for 7+ years. I spent my work day writing code, setting up networks, configuring servers, maintaining databases, and etc.
As a listing agent I leverage my technology background to help market your home as well as keeping you informed during the selling process. I use the latest technology available and I am constantly on the look out for new technology that may help me sell your house fast and for the best price.
As a buyers agent I am always a telephone call or email away. I am never away from an internet connection either through a PC or on my internet enabled phone. What this means to you as a buyer is that as soon as the right property becomes available I am alerted and I am able to notify you. Many times in a hot market this can be a difference between buying your dream house and coming in second place (which doesn't mean much as a home buyer).
