The Challenges Facing the Real Estate Community as Technology Advances

You guessed it! I had a computer challenge this past week. I was trying to be a responsible user by updating my security system when I heard about a new virus that might be going around. Why in the world anyone would waste their time creating and distributing these horrors is beyond me. I digress.

I went on-line and purchased an updated, supposedly incredibly wonderful new security system. After this system was installed I then found that my computer went into 1950 mode. It took 40 minutes to connect via my Log-Me-In site. I put up with this for awhile and then realized I was going to go nuts trying to use something that took forever to work.

Meanwhile, I had stopped in the Erie Chamber of Commerce office and as I visited with our director Elle, she told what a great help CMIT Solutions had been with the Chamber computers. I didn’t hesitate as I grabbed their card and headed out. As soon as I got home, I did call the company and spoke with the owner Susan Bateman. She spent a half hour on the phone with me explaining how to delete something I had downloaded. I asked for a bill but she just asked me to “pay it forward”. I had another question a bit later and spoke with her office manager, Erin. I received the same kind of courteous response to my question.

If you want someone who knows what they are doing contact these folks located in Lafayette at 303-673-9994. They have three technicians on staff plus Susan and Erin so there are plenty of people who speak “geek” to help you.
