The bag is lighter.

Today a member asked what we carry in our car, and it reminded me of a post written twelve years ago! Take a look. It's in the bag.

Times have changed, and here are a few things that I no longer need in that bag. Two phones, a backup in case, a camera with a charger, and the Sentri Key. There is no need to have the listing sheets or directions; everything is on the phone again.

My iPhone is my camera and my Sentri Lock, directions, plus so much more...making showings easier.

So my bag is lighter, and most of the time, I don't even need that bag.

Margaret Rome Baltimore 410-530-2400 My dilemma is so much worse - it doesn't matter how many bags I try of any size or shape, I never like 'em! Lauren

That's the truth! Now there's room for more things that you'll need in an emergency... and food and water.

Margaret maybe if you lived in Los Angeles CA, your bag would be heavier... I have to have Paper Towels, Spare Masks, Spare Gloves, alcohol to wipe things down... scotch tape to post on Pandemic Protocols on entering and showing properties... just saying, Endre

Hello Margaret - things are constantly changing. Real estate and fashion plus everything else. Some of those things may be more noticeable than others but adjusting and adaptation is a constant in our life.

Good morning Margaret. Who would have ever thought that when they first entered the business, that someday everything would be on their iPhone? Not me, but I still have paper towels and some basic hand tools in my trunk. Enjoy your day.

Good morning, Margaret... amen to that. I've only carried my handbag for ages... room for client files, my diary, my phone, pens and pad of paper. Not much more I need these days. Even the travelling computer has been replaced by phones these days. I have a tablet and can't remember the last time I powered it up versus using my phone.

Nina Hollander, Broker, I remember the early days of AR. It was imperative to have a camera, backup batteries, and a tripod for many.

My wife's bag seems to be getting fuller and fuller. I always get nervous when she asks me to find something in it. I need her to read this post!

Margaret cell phones are a mini office these day. For me if I have a laptop, and a cell phone, I have an office no matter where I am.
