Looks like Loreena decided to give reBlogging a shot after all.  This is my first reblogged post.  Loreena, thanks for giving me the opportunity.

Now if only I had time to actually go on vacation!

Via Loreena Yeo - Realtor(R)/Broker proudly serving Frisco TX Real Estate:

Here is a simple checklist for you to do before you leave for your "extended" vacation:

- Inform all your past clients/ current clients about your vacation. It is a good opportunity to build rapport.
- Set your Out-of-Office reply with an appropriate message.
- Get yourself someone you can trust/ an assistant to handle your escrows/ phone calls and emails while you are gone.
- Change your greetings on your voicemail.
- Make sure everyone involved with your escrows are aware of your absence.
- Set up your phone for international calling (if that's where you are heading).
- Back up your computer. (If you dont have time for any of these, make sure you do this one!)
- Scan all your documents that are currently in escrow.
- Scan your Seller's Disclosure notices for your listings and all other related documents about your listings.
- Make sure all your bills will be paid on time, set automated payments if needed.

 

Now as a blog-aholic, make sure you have your blogs covered while you are gone. Pre-write if you have to.

Since my vacations never go beyond a week at a time I only implement a few of these suggestions. The beauty of today's technology is that most of my work can be handled remotely and since I'm typically awake hours before most people I have time to cover work.

RainMaker...

Do you have any idea what you're doing to my Google Reader? Any? :)

The tests are also popping up. That's probably a good thing for you to know :)

This is a great list.  I have never thought about backing up my computer, and my phone, for that matter, before leaving on vacation.  That will now be at the top of my list.
