Technology these days...phew!

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty

Man...sometimes, technology just doesn't work how you want it to!  You can do everything right when you are programming something, and for some reason it decids it doesn't want to do what you tell it to do!

I love technology, don't get me wrong!  Some days, however, you can enter a new facebook status and click post...and it just sits there and your computer freezes...what;s the deal?!?

I was posting a few things online today on our website for homes in Bear, Delaware.  It lets me get all the way where I write down the location of the home.  I type in Bear, Delaware...and my computer freezes...how wonderful!  I reboot my computer and begin typing the same listing again.  This time when I type Bear, Delaware...it actually accepts it and lets me post it!  It's a wonderful home, so thank goodness it finally took.

Were my technology blunders over and done with? Nope!  I get on our website to double-check how the listing appears to someone who would take a look at it online.  The listing looks great!  Wonderful pictures...great accessability...it seems like nothing could be wrong!  Don't worry folks...it can be.  I used the website search engine for homes in Bear, Delaware...and nothing comes up!  I JUST LOOKED AT IT AND I KNOW THE HOME IS IN BEAR, DELAWARE!

I then have the joyous occasion of spending 3 hours on the phone with tech support trying to figure out why my search for homes in Bear, Delaware doesn't work...only for them to tell me that I can't do anything about and have to email there company and wait for their response...it's a glorious system.

So my point is...I love technology when it works for me, but when it doesn't work for me, my days are less pleasant to put it nicely!

Great article. This is stuff that all sellers and buyers should know. Who knows when we will see a market like this one again? I just hope we can climb our way out of it. Keep up the great blogging!!!!
