How Many Sacramento Real Estate Agents Use FaceTime With Clients?

By
Real Estate Agent with Elizabeth Anne Weintraub, Broker DRE #00697006

facetime for real estateMy husband and I were watching a while back an episode of Girls on HBO in which Lena Dunham's boyfriend is running down the sidewalk while simultaneously talking to her via real-time video on his cellphone. She can see him and he can see her.

If I had any kids, I would already know this stuff, but I do not, so I have to pick up new social stuff through other media. Not only do I want to be able to do that on my cellphone, I apparently already have the ability to do it on my computer, not to mention, via my brand new iPad. So, as a Sacramento real estate agent, it's time to get with the times and use FaceTime. I hate to be left in the dust.

The main problem is where to look when you're talking. I tried to look at the camera lens and then back at my iPad to see if I'm looking directly at the caller, and you know what? It's impossible. My eyes will NOT look in two different directions. What a bummer.

You are too funny with the way you dated and met folks at Home Depot or the vet.  I would have absolutely watched that show.

I got an iPhone5 when they first came out and that was my first facetime experience.  I had used Skype before.  And yes wouldn't it have been cool to have back in the day.

Hi Chris Ann: Yes, I could write a book about those dating experiences. One of my dates who met me at the dealer while I waited for my oil change brought a tupperware container of fresh strawberries and flowers. He was OK for a guy with a super big dog my cats hated. Guys with dogs always have to go home early.

Hi Tammy: Well, thank goodness that none of us is back in the day at the moment.

Hi James: Good question. I went out to feed them this morning, opened the cage and they ran away when I wasn't looking. I imagine they'll come back. Or, they won't. They've lived in my yard for 7 days and just today decided to make a break for it. Maybe this is how they got "lost" previously.
