Being Creative

By
Real Estate Agent with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Florida Network Realty BK 3030920

Today I showed property at 10am, and then had to get a contract inked by my buyer.  Now, with the iPad, I can do so much more than I can, but since I don't have a portable printer (at least, not yet), when I had to print this morning 20 miles from my office, I opted for the Jacksonville Public Library. They have PC's and printers, and at 10 cents a page, it was a deal.

My other option was do have everyone drive 10 miles down the road to an office, but hey, I got to renew my library card, and get the kind that fits on my keychain, impress my clients who had not been to the library here yet, and get the necessary signature! Next time you are in a pickle, think about how you can be creative!

It constantly amazes me, how much more I can get done in so much less time. It took me longer than most to catch on to most of the techology, but better late than never.

Very creative Carol.  Why couldn't you email the contract?  I have an app with my iPad that allows signatures right on the iPad.

One thing about being in real estate is that you're required to think on your feet make snap decisions and analyze choices quickly.
