Last week I was working with a couple of agents in one of our offices and we were watching some of the videos from the recent NAR convention in San Francisco in November.
The topic of discussion was basically staying in touch with past, present and future clients.
We got around to video eventually and it soon became apparent that they knew that video is important but they did not want to be on camera!
By the way, most people feel that way!
One of the agents brought up the fact that she was using an app called Marco Polo. This has been around for a few years and is available on the both the Apple App Store and the Google Play store.
The premise is simple. You record a short video and send it to another Marco Polo user. They receive it and then respond when they have a chance to do do. It’s kind of like text messages but with video!
You can create groups and send group messages or you can send private one on one messages. You can apply filters and you can even apply filters to your voice. The helium one is a personal favorite!
The basic app is free, but an upgrade to Premium confers unlimited message storage and a few other perks. Premium is $9.99 per moth or $99.00 per year. However, as of this writing, they were offering an annual subscription for $29.99!
Set up is easy once you have downloaded it. You have to grant permission to your camera and microphone and it also offers to load your contacts. I did so and was surprised to find that my luddite brother in law was on the app! But, you don’t need to upgrade if you don’t wish to do so.
Here is a link to connect with me https://yoyopolo.com/s/jerry-k-NfPuR
If you click on that you’ll see my mug and also links to either the App store or the Play Store. Download the app and hit me up!

In the meantime, I think this is an excellent way to send updates to your clients. Give it a shot
