Twenty Reasons Why IPad Utilization for Real Estate is a Top New Business Practice for 2011
1. Go Green. Less Paperwork. Less MLS Printouts. You can email your showing line up to yourself and leave all that loose paperwork behind.
2. Pen and Idea Pad Everywhere. Idea board. Blog Outlines. I have zapped out this whole blog post for the iPad while Riley Rover is chasing squirrels outside on the porch. He did not catch one but I finished my post and got the most of the down time.
3. Live Action Camera Listing Presentation. My entire PowerPoint Presentation is on Keynote on my iPAD.
4. Mobile Office. No Electric, No Problem. In Southern Maryland, we are fresh off an earthquake and a four day hurricane power outage. Depend on a dead computer? Nope, the show goes on.
5. Show and Tell. My listing and sales tools are on a blog page so I can roll through a show and tell of what I do for you as my client.
6. Practice makes Perfect. I can surf websites and tools in my downtime and become proficient plus without a ruckus.
7. Research Tool. Because of the convenience of the iPad, I research marketing tools and practices as a new kind of fun thing to get done.
8. Fluidity. Need to do this or that on the run? Pull out Docusign to do your listing or contract. How much better does it get than that?
9. Less is More. Music...how about every CD? I do not have to carry my iPod. I do not have to take my Kindle. I do not have to take a video camera or digital camera. Just me and the iPad.
10. Star Trek. Cutting Edge. Let me beam that info down for you, Scotty. The Cloud and my iPad and a little help from my friends like Dropbox and Evernote take the Realtor Tools into new Galaxies.
11. Database Delight. Top Producer 8i is letting me beta test their new mobile app. Yes indeed! One contact entry one time and ZAP the contact info registers everywhere on all devices instantly. Just like the Apple Cloud has announced it will do this Fall.
12. I can answer that NOW! Walkscore gives you nearby places. Data of any type is at your instant disposal when a buyer or seller question is posed.
13. Instant access cloud data. All my contracts and listings and essential paperwork up in the sky and just a button touch away.
14. MLS in a Minute. Want to see the stats and data? Not only can I pull up MLS but I have a mobile subscription to rbintel.com to show market stats and trends on the run. I can talk market absorption in the grocery line when someone asks , "How's Business?"
15. Never down when it is around. Email, Internet Access, Contract and Listing Forms....are all in nice big well lit print.
16. Grand Central Organizational Tool. The HUB above the rest. Goal list, Grocery list, Today's to Do List are right here.
17. HDHat.com. One gadget does it all. Films hi def listing videos with attachment just over $100 from HDHat.com. No need for extra gadgets this pad does it all. Visit my new Hi Def Channel !
18. One Stop Shopping for news, for books, for magazines, for class notes. Portable Library in the sky. Can't read it now, use Read it Later. Can't remember what that good classroom tip was about? Pull up your Evernotes. Tired of lugging newspapers to recycle? Done! Magazine late? Download it now. RSS Feeds anytime, anywhere on the latest and greatest news for topics you have pre selected for your Google Reader. YES!
19.There's an app for that! Want your 12c Financial Calculator? Download the app. Want to measure rooms and turn it into a floor plan? MagicPlan. Want an Open House Sign up tool that sends a Top Producer Market Snapshot on the spot? Try BrightOpen. Need an important doc on your home computer? Logmein.com takes care of that. POOF, everything you need is right at your fingertips in one lightweight portable pad.
20. iPads iPads everwhere and not a drop to drink. MY big goal is how to run a Real Estate business on one when push comes to shove. Queen of Crash is going to thrash back until she comes up with a complete game plan for that. If the Apple goal is to make the iPad a stand alone one stop shopping device, my goal is to do this for real estate, too. Get me on the stand alone device throne soon while I listen to my iTunes.
21. Because Golden Results means Golden, here is one extra. The iPAD makes a statement. It stands out. It says you as an agent talk tech. If the average agent is in their fifties and the average client is in their thirties, it enables us to talk their talk so we can walk their walk to home ownership.
How's them iPAD APPLES?
