Tech Rabbit Holes and Real Estate Wins

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty ~ 512.750.6899

I absolutely love it when fellow bloggers give me that spark of inspiration. Yesterday, I found myself grinning while reading a post by Margaret Rome Baltimore 410-530-2400  titled Going Down The Real Estate Rabbit Hole. Now, we've all heard the phrase "going down the rabbit hole," but Margaret gave it a real estate twist that had me nodding along.

Her take? It's all about diving into new technology and seamlessly weaving it into our blogging lives. Because let's be real, who doesn’t want to be seen as the cool, tech-savvy agent who knows what’s what? Learning new skills keeps us sharp, makes us look like we’re on top of our game, and lets our clients know we’re not just keeping up with the times, we're leading the pack!

Now, you might be wondering, "But will this tech-savviness really help me sell a house?" Funny you should ask! Just last week, I was on a listing appointment in my neighborhood, and guess what? The clients had been reading my blog posts on my website (you do post your posts on your websites, right?), yes, the ones where I’m all about embracing innovation and playing with AI. They loved that I’m not afraid to try new things and, more importantly, that I didn’t spend our entire conversation droning on about the NAR lawsuit and new forms.

Long story short, I walked out with the listing, and yes, they’re offering the buyer agent compensation.

Just saying... a little AI wizardry can boost your credibility and make you the go-to innovative resource. So, who’s afraid of a little rabbit hole adventure? Not this agent!

I really enjoyed our conversation this morning. I admire how you engage both buyers and sellers through your blogs, prompting them to reach out to you. It's great that instead of continually reaching out to your sphere through emails and texts, your sphere now has a reason to keep in touch with you.

Dorie, glad to hear your skills with AI garnered you a listing.   I have not embraced AI as much.

My drafts without pictures are allowing me to play with AI. Sometimes, I have the copy; sometimes, I have the images. FUN and a win-win!

Way to go, Dorie!!!  Your story reminded me of one of my staging clients, who did not yet have an agent. He told me (this was 15 years ago) that he wanted an agent who was tech-savvy.  Congratulations on your new listing!!!

Good for you Dorie, I get listings the old fashion way, I answer my phone, I respond to texts as well as emails and if they read my posts they know that I have been selling vacant land for the past 26+ years without anything but a good photographer and drone video if needed.... most importantly they know they get me, not an assistant, not an AI and the list goes on.... Good for you, Congratulations, Endre
