Southern Maryland Homes for Sale

After weeks of Docusign Webinars and Many Skype Practice Sessions Later, a Brand NEW Referral to Utilize these Realtor Tech Tools!

After weeks of Docusign Webinars and Many Skype Practice Sessions Later, a Brand NEW Referral to Utilize these Realtor Tech Tools!

Okay, not much egg nog and holly around here lately.

I parked myself in Webinars deliberately the last few weeks of the year smack between the Holidays.

I have groaned and complained and missed the stuff I like most which includes getting out and about selling and listing Southern Maryland Homes.

Actually, it has had me talking to myself UNTIL....

Talk about build it and they will come....

I interrupted the last Webinar the last long day of the scheduled Marathon Training Sessions to return a call to chat about a referral for a NEW client who will undoubtably use and appreciate the new tech tools that I have parked in learning gear for weeks to utilize.

What a rewarding way to end the last class of the last day of nonstop Webinars to learn the tech tools to manage long distance cases more efficiently.

Okay...would you like a few more tips about Skype that I learned after the referral call? Okay, here you go...may as well show you what I now know...

Skype?..Well, if your volume is not working, select a different drop down in Tools under Microphone. You need to invite the other party to Skype on the free version before you can start the video chat. You can demonstrate websites, listing Presentations, and documents to one person on the free Skype. What differentiates this from other Webinar products is this plus the live video aspect of seeing the other party. Remember to start out with your practice buddies on the same laptop or iPad with the same newest version or update so you save the time of doing this during the practice sessions.

Docusign? Set up your templates now to get ready for Spring. That makes using your iPad a much easier thing! Check out the year end incredible pricing, too.

Rome was not built in a day, but these TEN Golden Results Realtor Ways to use Skype Just Took a Few Hours!

Rome was not built in a day, but these TEN Golden Results Realtor Ways to use Skype Just Took a Few Hours!

I just got off the Skype Video Phone with Margaret Rome. We focused on how to use the IPad and came up with these top ten.

Here you go! Get Ready for a ROME RITCHIE Skype SHOW!

Take your iPad to settlement. If there is a Power of Attorney utilized, Skype may be the only time the Buyers and Sellers ever meet.

Take it to the Home inspection to highlight an item or to allow an out if town party to be present for the summation.

Tote your iPad to Active Rain Meet Ups for missing Bloggers.

Cart your iPad to a Sales Meeting if a coworker cannot attend.

Open up your iPad on a Preview to help a Purchaser do some easy early elimination.

Dazzle your stuff at a listing appointment by calling an agent working with a Buyer that is perfect for the home.

Well make the three hour Skype Collaboration FOUR. I have to call Margaret Rome again to gather a few more.

Better yet, what are yours?

A Golden Home Rome Creation brought to you by Margaret Rome and Cheryl Ritchie!

P.S. Remember you can hold down the home button and on off button for a screen shot or a photo of something you want to email your client.

Plus you can text websites or URL locations of marketing pieces you routinely use to showcase your marketing methods LIVE!

You can even switch the camera around and show not you but the special features of a home. 

Rome is looking like it is adorned in GOLD as we saw all these Realtor uses for Skype unfold!

Some Realtor Days you Practice and Prepare, some days you just stay in GO mode until the Sold turns to Gold!

Some Realtor Days you Practice and Prepare, some days you just stay in GO mode until the Sold turns to Gold!

Webinars mean practice and prepare.

As in until you know Docusign inside and out.

Or until you get the ins and outs of your  new Wordpress Blog and IDX Solution.

But when the clock ticks past Midnight New Year's Eve, what a wonderful sight.

It just means that practice and prepare can turn to SALES that just plain go right!

It is turning to Sold to Gold time ...hot diggedy dog!

Has anyone figured out how to display an iPad Screen on your Computer for a Webinar?

Has anyone figured out how to display an iPad Screen on your Computer for a Webinar?

I am hot on the trail to figure this out but am not quite there yet.

I am thinking Skype or Join.me but the mystery is when I jibber jabber about what I have learned on Active Rain about my iPad, well...

Some of you all want to SEE. I am mulling over doing Skype to share controls back and forth so everyone can share a great idea.

I am a curious pup kind of Southern Maryland Realtor so I will want to see what you figure out, too.

Anyway.....

Has anyone figured out how to display an iPad Screen on your Computer for a Webinar?

If I pick up the phone and call you, you know....Realtor Networking Active Rain Style!

If I pick up the phone and call you, you know....

Now here goes the bottom line D personality side of this Southern Maryland Golden Girl shining right through...

...Well you have said something on a post that has me curious as a Golden Pup. Gita Bantwal, we figured out Skype!

Or, you know something that I want to learn because you learn to earn. Thanks, Shack Diva and Janie Coffey and Teresa King.

Or, you have followed me for so long I want to see what's up. Good Morning Wallace Gibson!

Or you have asked me a question to explain something and the D as in Dianne for my middle name surfaces again. That list goes on and on.

Or, I am struggling to learn something and you chime in to lend a hand. Thanks William Johnson. See all  the Flickr iPad photo posts?

Or you are just plain nice to me and I make you part of my day! Thanks Martha Brown and Steve and Jan Bachman.

Or you are an incredible resource for this and that. Cindy Jones, hey,  is there another Golden Retriever nearby as you read this?

Or...Fernando, are you going to call me when it snows again? Which is saying you have reached out to me and I believe in sharing right  back.

Or Rich Iarossi, you just know all kinds of cool stuff!

Or Margaret Rome, thanks for dropping what you do to  talk to you know who.

Okay, I will stop here. I absolutely have plenty more Active Rain Bloggers to mention.  

But the C in Cheryl is the C part of the personality DISC profile that  is also alive and well in this Southern Maryland Gal.

Control, or the big C, as in it is time to GO start this Southern Maryland Realtor Day!

C as in Plan C. I blow up plan A, I sail past plan B, and C as in Cheryl always comes through for me. 

But that is a story for another day from this Southern Maryland Realtor by the Chesapeake Bay who blogs ALMOST every day!

A Year End THANKS to all the Active Rain Bloggers Above from Cheryl Ritchie with a four paws up from Riley Rover, too!

If I send you a PRIVATE message about a typo or misspelling or the defunct Postlets Widget....

Just chuckle.

My Mom was an English Major. She was always fixing and repairing my written stuff.

So don't get in a huff, just fix it up.

I want to reblog it. I want the Featured Posts that are prime for the Public to view to look cool.

Oh, if you have a Postlets widget on your right side bar, please erase the HTML code and remove it.

Each time I read a post lately, the error message says Postlets no longer exists. 

It makes my whole iPad screen of your post SHRINK and I cannot squint hard enough to see what you have to say!

P.S. Please let me know when I have a typo or misspelling or three. Just send an email so I do not blush Publicly.

If I write back, " OKAY, MOM!" or you say it, too, we will have a chuckle or two. Scoobedoo!

IPad Discoveries Christmas Day, Yeah!

Okay, in no particular order, here are some cool tools I learned after playing on my iPad Christmas Day.

First of all, Quick Office integrates with Evernote.

Check page 30 of the instruction manual here to learn the steps. You simply press the plus button and add your passcode to link them.

http://support.quickoffice.com/index.php?_m=downloads&_a=viewdownload&downloaditemid=90&nav=0

Let me do Realtor Speak. In other words, you can have a spreadsheet as one example, modify it, and change it in Evernote. Poof, done! YUM.

Or do the same with Quick Office and Google Docs, Mobile Me, Box etc.

Second, I explored all the apps under featured that were 2011 Rewind Hits and added a bunch. Tons are Free. Yippee!

I picked the app of the year which does photo editing on the iPad called Snapseed.

Third, I decided since my Mom, a.k.a. affectionately dubbed by the Family as Weather Bureau, may need a break from my weather phone call inquiries, I downloaded three of the most popular weather apps. The fact that one had 12,000 report card ratings gave a clue that it would become a favorite.

Fourth, I explored some of the top grossing and top rated apps and got a kick out of this and that. Catalogs by Google stood out because it hosts Eddie Bauer CATALOGS among many others.

Fifth, the thing the got me started playing all day in my iPad was the JUST RELEASED Skitch. It works with Evernote. Bottom line, you have a Snag It type tool on your iPad that integrates with Evernote. So grab photos, snatch website sections, copy a screenshot and send what's  special to you to Evernote for safekeeping.

These are my top favorite tips after hours of playing on my iPad. Bet you're glad to just get the tips so you can zip on over to grab a few NEW Realtor useful apps. P.S. Come back for more useful Realtor apps! I get a kick out of discovering them. Anything that works with Evernote gets my vote! Did you know you can scan from your Fujitsu ScanSnap Scanner straight in to Evernote? As in all your contracts? Wowee!

My Grandmother BAKED all her Grandchildren Christmas Goodies every year!

My Grandmother BAKED all her Grandchildren Christmas Goodies every year!

All dozen and a half of us. I am about to grasp and completely appreciate the full concept of this because I have baked several rounds of TRIPLE batch Oatmeal Chocolate Cookies over the last few days as Christmas treats for friends and family.

What a project! Not to mention Riley Rover is not shy about letting me know he wants a taste or two.

The secret is to slightly under cook them so they are moist and chewy. My recipe card is yellow and worn and batter splattered in my childhood writing.

I used to get paid fifty cents to deliver them  on my bicycle to my Dad's office on weekends while he worked.

Today he came by for a batch as soon as they came out the oven.

This time almost fifty years later the hot off the press oatmeal chocolate cookies were on me. 

Friends and Family? One more triple dose recipe to go! UH OH! One more trip to Rolands for ingredients!
