The Internet "Our Best Friend, Or Worst Enemy"

By
Real Estate Agent with Erlandson Realty

The World Wide Web. Where would we be without it. Wow our kids would have to go outside to play more often. Their homework, well they would have to know what a encyclopedia is. (Scary Thought Huh) I wouldn't be sitting here writing this blog. This is a subject that we could go on and on about but I will not.

The Internet can be our "Best Friend" You can find out most anything in a few seconds. You can talk to your friends, share pictures with the people who are close to you. Want to find out something about some one well Google them and in a second BANG. There you go.

 Without the internet thre would be no web-sites. So if you were in the market for Real Estate in South West WI., you would not smply click on Erc Ristey's web-site  to find ot all the information you would want, or to find out Eric Ristey's phone number is 800-771-4259. Lets not think about all the information that is shared on the web. That's one reason wilandandhome verifies tat it's site is secure. Plus I personally guarantee that your privacy will be respected. Personal information including your email address is not shared with any third party our personal information WILL NOT be distributed to anyone our information is kept 100% confidential.

Back to the Internet. The one thing about the net that upsets me is how someone can judge a property by a few pictures on the net. It is simply impossible to make a judgment on real estate by looking at a couple of pictures. How can you say I don't like hat one, wwithout stepping n the ground. Believe me that I cannot count the pieces of land I have shown to clients, that when we walk out on it say"why didn't you tell us about this one, I love this property, Honey don't you agree. Then I tell them, I did tell you about this one, it's the one you told me you didn't like!

They say a picture is worth a 1,000  words, and with photo shop and many other types of software available, You can make the sky blue, dead grass green, a river blue, a dead tree gone, With a little skill and time you can do what ever it is you want to with a photo.

Do yourselves a favor. Never judge a book by it's cover, and take the time to really look at the house, or piece of land, because if you don't the perfect piece of Real Estate may have just slipped past your fingers with-out knowing it even existed. Until next time.

Eric - I liked your blog.  My only suggestion add some artwork, so your reader is not hit with a wall of words.

I purposely did not put any pictures onto this, so your focus is on the content, The point of the blog was to inform people that if "we" (real estate agents) do our jobs and really listen to the wants and needs of our clients, we can paint the picture in our own words to our clients. You will see that this will do Wonder's for your sales, and the client will have no perceived attitude toward any piece of real estate. We need to open our minds as well as the minds of our clients. I guess those who live in the concrete jungle cannot do this, but we who live in the land of miles and miles of undeveloped nature, well as I said a picture is worth 1,000 words, but actually walking out on property is worth a 1,000 pictures.

Thank-You for your suggestions,

Semper-Fi
