You might be a Realtor if. . . .

I’d like to preface this post by saying that I’m not a Realtor®, but I work with them every day, and I have a lot of friends and even a few family members that are. One thing I’ve noticed is that even though realtors recognize the importance of technology and how it can improve their business and customer/client satisfaction, they have a tough time embracing it. Which is why decided to write my blog entry in the tradition of Jeff Foxworthy’s “You might be a redneck if…”

Please don’t be offended by my analogies, they’re meant to be harmless fun!  Here goes.. .

You Might be a Realtor® if:

You sleep more hours than you work!

You take so many vacations you have to notify your clients when you’re actually working

You think school teachers have the “Dream Job”

You think Google is when old men stare at a pretty women

The internet is a new fishing device

Social Media is when you yell at your TV during the hockey game

You’re almost positive Twitter is a sign of marital problems, and you hope you never catch your spouse tweeting on you!

A search engine is a futuristic car that finds where it left you in the parking lot

You still think being a “Geek” isn’t cool

Blogging sounds like something you should only do in the privacy of your own home

“Going viral” Has something to do with H1N1

Ok, I admit I was having a little fun at your expense, but I was only joking . . . about most of my comments, anyway.

The truth is many Realtors® tell me they’re just too busy to get serious about the internet or having a great website, but recognize they have to do something about it. My only question to Realtors® reading this blog is, when exactly will you invest a little time to get started letting today’s technology work for you? A little time spent now equals big payoffs down the road – and it’s not a long road.

It’s never too late to embrace technology and start using it to your advantage. I guarantee you’ll get more done in less time and make more money in the process, but don’t take my word for it. Let RealtySites PLUS™ be your ‘geek angel’, and only the first two entries of “You might be a Realtor® if…” will apply to you!
