 Looking For Ways To Eliminate Inefficiencies...The Rome Way

 

There was a time in order to go on an appointment, certain files were required, client folders, listing agreements, CMAs and a myriad of other documents.

Now my time is flexible and more productive. For example, I left home for a noon showing appointment.  The rest of my day was unplanned. While waiting for buyer, I was taking phone calls and made four  spur of the moment appointments,  fitting them in without returning to the office. One of these showings will be turning into an offer.

In the past, I would not have been prepared.. but today using my iPad   there was no hesitation.

It was a breeze to pull up photos, room dimensions, details and compare what had been sold recently. 

What started as one planned showing, turned into four.  Thinking I was finished for the day, a text  came through notifying me of an offer on one of my very active listings. 

Alerting the  buyer's agent of competing offers and a time constraint, this Realtor® was on the ball. Within  the hour, I had the contract changes and the addenda signed. I noticed that the final changes were DocuSign signatures. Such good timing for this contest!

Without using this technology, one buyer would have lost the "perfect" home.

Hard to compete with a cash offer, proof of funds, a quick settlement and an agent who knows how to get a deal done!

I've had my IPad since Christmas and have so much to learn.  Which app are you currently using for your notetaking?

Did you make it to yesterday's class on using your iPad as part of your listing presentation? If you didn't get in touch  with me and I let you know how to see the replay. As part of the presentation the online Evernote was discussed. This allows you to store things like documents and presentations in the "Cloud" and access them from any Internet connected device.

Wish everyone will work on their real estate business...Rome Way. Embracing technology is difficult for many - and they end up spending lots of extra time on Social Media (thinking that that's what they need to do....).

Well, I love my Samsung Galaxy Tablet....

I have to admit that I feel a bit "inefficient" myself when my 2 1/2 year old nephew, Reo, knows how to use an iPad and I don't : /
