Free content resources to make you look good!

I was recently asked by an agent where she could find material to share on LinkedIn, Facebook and other social sites. My initial thought was “everywhere” but on further thought, I realized that even though shareable content IS everywhere, most agents are not aware of it or even how to share it. So, this week…

Never carry business cards again!

In this day and age of smart phones and easy accessibility to information, I don’t see the necessity of carrying around business cards.  If I give my card to someone, chances are it gets lost or at best the recipient has to manually enter the info into their computer or phone. Consequently, when I started…

Why should anyone hire you to list their home?

As this is being written we are only a few weeks away from the mid point of the year.  This should not be startling news unless you are one of the many real estate agents who have not hit their income goals for the year so far.  If that is you, and your income for…

Sometimes procrastination pays off

We are having a power outage for the second day in a row. It seems like PG&E cannot get it’s act together in fixing this one. A little while back they tore up some roads nearby and and told us that after they were done we would have fewer and less severe outages. Right! Last…

zipLogix releases a Java free update to zipForms!

If you are one of the many California REALTORS® who use zipForms 6 Professional to create contracts, then you are probably at the end of your rope when it comes to the nearly incessant Java updates of the past few months. If you are a Mac user you have discovered that Apple shuts off the…

Kudos to zipLogix and Docusign!

Back in November 2011 I lambasted zipLogix (Maker of zipForms6) and Docusign for not having a solution for iPads that seamlessly integrated the two services. (You can read it here if you wish: https://realtytechbytes.com/shame-on-ziplogix-and-docusign) Recently I revisited creating contracts on the iPad since I was prompted to renew my annual subscription to the zipForms6 mobile…

Landing Leads With Landing Pages

Last week I talked about having a clear call to action that would appeal to your target audience (here is the link in case you missed it: https://realtytechbytes.com/the-case-for-a-call-to-action).  This week I want to expand on that concept and tell you how I think your call to action should be implemented. To start with, if you…

The case for a call to action…

I’ve been somewhat obsessed lately with calls to action.  So much so that every time I visit a web site that is new to me, the first thing that I do is to figure out what their Call to Action is, and how they implement it. You might be asking “what is a call to…

An open letter to real estate brokers

As we near the end of the year it’s time to get the planning for next year underway.  For some of us, the planning is well underway.  But in any case, I wanted to bring something to your attention that may not be on your radar. Your agents are being inundated with technology to an…
