What Tool Has The Most Impact In Our Real Estate Business On The North Shore Of Long Island?
 
IPhones, IPads are probably going to be the most popular, but blah blah blah...What one tool (well we actually have two) do we rely on all the time for our Real Estate business would most definitely be ~ Our Laptop!Long Island Real Estate
 
No it's not a MAC, no it's not the newest or the best...but it's something we use all the time for our business. We hit it first thing in the morning (sometimes VERY early mornings), many times during the day and before we go to sleep at night. We're contantly emailing, researching, writing and drafting on it. We use it as our calendar reminder and storage of our files and photos, and of course to write our daily blog posts for ActiveRain.
 
Yes you can use your Iphones and IPads for this too, but we like the size of our laptop as opposed to those other smaller tools which are probably going to have to be replaced anyway for the newer and better editions (probably as we write this a new one has appeared on the market). So there will be newer and better I-Tools to come along, but we're satisfied using our laptop and wouldn't want to ever go back to using an electric typewriter!
 
Of course the internet brings all the info we need in front of us with a click of the button, helping us to be the "Experts" in our Long Island market.
 
 
The very most important tool that makes the most impact in our Real Estate Business is our sense of humor...and the indispensable way Larry makes our clients smile and laugh throughout the process ~ This has the most impact, this is our MOST Important Tool, and this is Priceless!

Larry and Sheila,

Amen to that...with so many moments in life that seem untenable, I love laughter and the relief it gives.  You become so aware of that when someone else does not have a sense of humor around you.  A

William, It doesn't have to just be business all the time...A little laughter goes a long way!

Kathy, We try and make laughter a part of the Larry & Sheila Team Package!

Joan, With your cheery personality, we're sure you add this to your Real Estate tool-box too!

Toni, Although not everyone has a "good" sense of humor, Larry tries to get at least a little smile from them!

Joshua, Information certainly became readily available once we got our first laptop.

Alexandra/Ron, Isn't it great to release the tension with a good laugh, and in this business some smiles can make the process much less stressful...

Love it! We tend to think "hardware" when we think of tools, but the emotional tool of laughter is marvelous!

Larry and Sheila.  That is great that Larry's sense of humor is your greatest tool.  I love it.  Working in a team with Will, I completely understand.  He has a great way of making folks feel calm and important.  I guess Will and my iPhone are my greatest tools.

The ITools are the best, but I agree you have to have a sense of humor. You just can't make up some of the things that happen!

In this business, you MUST have a sense of humor...........and buyers and sellers can pick up on your feelings......good or bad!

Laughter is key for sure and I like what Woody said above ' buyers and sellers can pick up on our feelings' so I like to go in from a 'how can I serve you perspective' and if our hearts and minds connect all will be well. Respecting what can seem like 'strange quirky ways' can be challenging as a home stager. We have to use 'tough love' many times to have sellers pack up their precious treasures...we never want to knowingly hurt their feelings! I can laugh later but sometimes I feel like a 'deer in the headlights'!
