10. Color laser printer. Prices have come WAY down...

9. Wireless office phone. No more crooked necks.

8. Wardrobe of logo'ed shirts. Use before-tax $$ to buy your threads...

7. A website that works. No shortage of reasons why... Just Do It!

6. Quality flier making program... SharperAgent, MS Publisher, etc.

5. CRS Designation. CRS agents earn many, many thousands more. Enough said.

4. Quality scanner with AutoDocumentFeeder. Stores files as pdf's on a DVD

3. Mastermind group. There's a synergy to these, and everybody gains.

2. Tablet computer - take signatures right on the screen. Invaluable!

And the Top Way for Realtors to Spend Money Wisely...

1. A cell phone that receives your e-mail. SmartPhone, Blackberry, iPhone, whatever flavor you like, the technology is available. Use it, and watch your productivity grow!

I just bought a Toshiba Notebook and love it!  I also got the Dashboard software so I can send and receive faxes.  I can have my clients sign listing and purchase contracts right on the screen.  I take this everywhere I go.  I also have a Sprint Treo Palm that downloads all my emails.  I can answer anyone immediateluy.  What I am lacking is a Mastermind group.  I do have a group of Brokers that meets maybe 1 time every two months to talk about things but I wouldn't consider this a Mastermind group.  Where do I start looking for or creating this group?

Another thing that would probably come in Number 11 would be a good 4-door car, or SUV.  I'm not endorsing driving clients around, but it happens and a good vehicle will come in handy.

Sharon - Congratulations on the Tablet! Don't you just love it? Going paperless is sweet...

Daniel - Good point - of course, driving a 2 door sports car keeps those pesky kids from coming along on the home search!

In agreement with a laser printer.  All presentations look much more professional.  Good post.
