REALTOR CELL PHONES - DO I HAVE TO REINVENT THE WHEEL???

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Peace River Partners Realty

So which one has made your life and your work much easier and more productive?

I have basic needs.  Give me a cell phone that I can use to surf the net, manage my contacts, take pictures and video, open lock boxes, text, voice mail, email, blue tooth, speakerphone, voice dialing...  OK, I know I'm asking a lot!  Buying a new cell phone is a lot like buying a car today.  There are so many options and often some of the options you need are not on the phone that you want.  I have bad vision for reading so voice calling is a must but some phones make you wade through a myriad of questions/answers before a call is made.  I remember when I first wanted to buy a phone with voice activated calling, the phone actually required you to arrow through a menu to get to the voice calling feature - big problem if you can't see.  Forget about ordering over the internet.  If there is a problem you might be sorry when you try to correct it at the local dealer.

I know that some Realtors out there really love their phones - can't, live without em...  I'd like to hear about it!

I have the PC 6700 from Sprint and LOVE it. I can do everything you mentioned in your post although the camera is only  1.3 pixels takes decent pics in light. Verizon has the same phone and you get a discount because of Keller Williams which makes it all the better. I am locked for another year then I'm switching. The other part I love is getting props from the MLS on the phone so when I'm out in the field and a client ask about a home boom I just pull it up and a matter of fact, a cleint liked this house we were viewing at 8 pm and said you know I like this house but I'm not sure, HEY what about this one across the street. I looked it up called the owners right there, got in and 30 minutes later wrote up in offer on it. Good Luck
