How hot is it?

By
Real Estate Agent with Realty One Group # S.0190863

So, last year, I got a SMART thermostat. I love how you can program the times and it will do it’s thing. I can even access from my smartphone and change any settings or simply monitor from thousands of miles away.

 

But I did notice something odd. I would set it to have the AC go on at a certain time and instead it would go on at some random time an hour or two ahead.

 

Finally, I realized it is a SMART thermostat – not a dumb human. So when I say I want 68 degrees at 10:30pm, it doesn’t turn on at 10:30. Instead it mat turn on at 8:30 so that it will BE 68 degrees by the time 10:30 comes around.

 

If only our agents could do the same. What if they could realize that to get 40 closings by year’s end, the time to start “turning up the heat” is January 1st, not August 15th.

 

Does Amazon happen to carry SMART agents in stock?

That is a great example of things taking time and in real estate work that we do this month may not come to fruition for a few months in the future.

Hi Rocky Dickerson - An interesting perspective using the SMART Thermostat as an example.   I will do you one better.  The time to prepare for the upcoming year is in October, November, and December.  When others are resting on their accomplishments start planting the seeds of what you want in the year 2022, etc...

Rocky sounds like there could be valuable lessons to learn from the thermostat.

What a clever  way to address a business issue, Rocky.

Your post did remind me of something I read a while ago about the importance of changing passwords and settings for smart device when moving - someone wrote that they moved out but did not make the necessary changes for the new home and could not get their AC to operate. Turns out they were still operating the system at their old home, which of course caused some confusion for the new owners who couldn't understand why their AC had a mind of its own!
