Text messaging is a valuable tool indeed. I utilize it all the time. Thanks for the blog

Excellent description James.  Sounds like a good idea if, and it's a big if, both parties are on the same wavelength. 

James, thanks for the link in your blog!  I felt important.  And please don't spread this but I have so few associates who text (too old) that my fingers are getting rusty.  My friend Larry DeGroat gives me a little practice.  I texted him back and spelled things so horribly (I was driving....a bad thing to do and text) that he couldn't tell what I wrote.  You must check him out. He has also started blogging but he'll never catch me!!

James, texting is huge (you know you text a lot when you are missing the paint off many of your keys from doing it too much - that's me :).  I love what you said about " He can easily save these messages and not worry about writing them down and losing the piece of paper!".  My company has a service that provides all potential buyers the ability to learn listing information via text message.  We created this for that exact reason you stated.  Consumers can walk away with information stored on their phone, rather than writing stuff down or grabbing a flyer.  It's fast, convenient and easy to you and your consumers.  Good luck to your friend!!! MOVING IS NOT FUN!!!!!  Thanks for sharing your ideas!

Texting is something I have not had to do in my real estate business.  I do need to get up to speed for the time I will need to be able to.  I need to update my phone and when I do I need to get a model that will make it easy to text message.  Any ideas as to a good phone?  I have Verizon as my carrier.  Once I get one I will need to practice with my grand kids.

James - GREAT ideas on using text messages when the computer is 'in transit'!!!

By the way, great new photo!!!
