I was in another broker's office today and asked them about their website. I'm always curious how things are going with others since I got my own, www.wilkesbarrehomesales,  about 3 weeks ago. I was floored when I got the response, "Oh, we haven't set up a website yet." How can this be? It was so ironic that, while I was talking to the broker, I was interrupted twice by people calling my cell who had seen my listing on my website and wanted to see it this afternoon. I excused myself and left to go show my listing to these two people.

One turned out to be a solid candidate for the house. I really think that there was a strong interest in the house and he will be able to buy, from the conversation we had. The other was a family a bit too large, by my estimation, for the house. I think we built a good rapport and am confident that I will be able to help them find something else to suit their needs. So, essentially, I got two very strong possibilities for sales from my website.

I went back to the office to finish my conversation a bit later and the broker was just blown away by what had happened. I think sometimes we just get so busy doing things the way we always have that we end up losing sight of the future. The here and now is so much more consuming that we don't take the time to see the future. The future of Real Estate is the internet...and it's here folks!!

Until next time...
