It's been two years that I've owned my trusty iPad; you'll find it with me nearly 100% of the time I'm at work. It's great for all sorts of tasks and helps me look techie and up to date. I find that it also gets in my way at times, so I'm making a change.
Let me introduce you to my good ole legal pad. Before I get strung up for being old fashioned and out of the times, let me explain. I loved my Keynote presentation for CMA's, as it was so pretty, professional, and consistant. Unfortunately, it was also the same presentation for every client. Clients want us to be techie, but they also want us to be human. My iPad was a physical object that stood between my client and me. It felt like a 9" wall that interferred with conversation and relationship.
So, I made the decision to dust off my yellow pads and do all of my CMA's with them on the table. I can easily take notes and make sketches while easily carrying on a converstaion with my client. If I need something techie, I've got the iPad with me, but it's my yellow note pad that's front and center, and we're both loving it! BTW, my clients are happier too, as my listing rate has increased since going back to yellow!
