Super charge your listing presentations

When I started in real estate in 1986, I wanted to work exclusively with buyers because I thought that was the best place for me to start, and in many ways it was.  But, the old timers that were in my office kept saying to me “You have to list to last”.  What they meant…

Free conference calling for everyone!

Have you ever had the need to set up a conference call?  And have you ever been stymied by how to do it on the office phone or your cell phone?  Do you know if your home phone can do conference calling?  I may have the answer to these questions for you in today’s post. …

iPhone – expensive toy or real business tool?

I have had my iPhone for a little over 60 days now.  On July 11th I was one of the people who stood in line for hours for the privilege of forking over nearly $500 (when all was said and done with taxes, activation fees, pre-pays and accessories) to purchase an iPhone on “opening day”. …

Blog with your iPhone

Ever wish you could post to your blog without having to use your computer? The thought has occurred to me that such a capability would allow me to post more frequently. Ideas come to me frequently, but are often lost by the time I get around to actually writing. Then I discovered a nifty little…

Google’s technology tools for real estate agents

While noodling around on Google the other day, I decided to see what tools Google has for real estate agents and ran across a page set up just to showcase the tools that Google offers us.

Put the emotion back into your email communications!

In my opinion, one of the characteristics of a good real estate agent is the ability to listen to what their client/customer has to say and then to be able to translate that into action.  Equally important is the ability to communicate information back to the client/customer.  In the past we typically did that in…

Cool email backup tool

If you’ve got a business email account then you have an asset that needs to be protected.  What would happen if one day you logged on to your computer and opened up Outlook (or almost any other email client) and it did not open?  Or it opened but it couldn’t find your email? If you…

SearchBoth.com ~ a very cool way to search two engines at once!

Last week’s post was pretty heavy, so this week I thought I should swing in the other direction and talk about something a little lighter. This came to my attention from two sources.  Lillian Ng, an agent in our Opera Plaza Office suggested it to me, and two days later I received an email from a…

GreenPrint saves green!

I have had an annoying pet peeve with computers and printers for as long as I can remember.  Why is it that when you print a web page there is invariably one page that prints out with only a few lines of print on an otherwise blank page?  Then there is the web page that…

Sure Cure for the iPhone Battery Life Blues

Ask me how happy I am with my new iPhone 3g…go ahead and ask!  I couldn’t be happier and that is the truth.  The phone continues to delight me in many ways.  The way the phone handles email is so much better than my T-Mobile Dash running Windows Mobile 6.1 that it is almost like…
