Real Estate Technology - Breaking NEWS!!   I have found a fantastic way to Share and Mirror my IPAD 2 or IPAD 3 and the IPHONE 4s to my mac and screen without Apple TV. I have tested it for 3 Weeks solid and it has been reliable and without fail. The app/software is called Reflection !  While this is huge for me to speak, train and Demo apps and the use of these devices, I felt Obilgated to the industry to share this so that others can do the same.

CloudOn Brings Microsoft Office to Your iPad, Complete with Cloud Storage iPad: CloudOn brings a fully-loaded version of Microsoft Office to the iPad, so you can edit documents on-the-go using all of Office's features, and store your documents right in your Dropbox.   Full size CloudOn isn't really a touch-optimized version of Office; instead, it's like using a screen-sharing app with a computer running Office elsewhere. You'll need an internet connection to use it, since the program runs on CloudOn's servers, but it actually works pretty well, despite being designed for a mouse and keyboard. You probably wouldn't want to do all your document editing from it, but for quick edits, tracking changes, or reviewing presentations, it's really useful, and doesn't have the compatibility problem... 01/03/2012

          If you know me, you know that I am a Huge Fan of Real Estate Technology. (and all the gadgets & gizmos that go with it!) Not only do I love the new toys & what they can do to make life better, but in fact, its my job to stay on the cutting edge of the technologies used by Real Estate Professionals. Over the past 24 months, I've become increasingly concerned with what I see taking place in our Industry across the country.       Everyone seems to be looking for the Magic Pill. The Easy Fix. The Miracle Maker. While its true that we can use technology to be more productive, generate leads, and market our business & our listings better - more often than not, I’m seeing folks regard technology as the “Silver Bullet”. Many think that staying ahead of the curve is going to change th... 11/07/2011

      With so many hoops to jump through to close transactions, falling home prices, and unrealistic sellers and buyers, today's agents have to hustle harder than ever before. This doesn't have to be the case. With the right systems and the right processes in place, you can work smarter rather than hustling harder.  Everyone has systems. The question is: Which systems support your business to thrive vs. which systems create a drag on your production? A system can be as simple as taking a different route to work each day to search for for-sale-by-owner homes, or as complex as doing all your business online.  The hallmarks of a strong system are that it is repeatable, it reduces time and effort, and it yields consistent results. If you're interested in working smarter rather than hustlin... 06/11/2011

Video Marketing: The Next Big Thing FRIDAY, 22 APRIL 2011 08:31 The explosion of social media, and its’ solid place in marketing strategy, has now gone one step further. Social media and networking sites are not enough if you want to be where the action—and the prospective clients are.  The newest must-have in Real Estate marketing plans is video marketing—and a surprising number of Real Estate Professionals are not capitalizing on this opportunity. According to a recent post by the tech gurus at Mashable.com, “among social media used by real estate agents, 79% are using Facebook but only 12% are using YouTube. Yet the same site reports that in 2010, YouTube surpassed 2 billion video views per day.”  Plainly here, is a call to action- if for nothing else then the sheer numbers.   In an... 04/28/2011

Finding Opportunity in a Blizzard There is always something to inspire or motivate you if you just look for it: Bonnell A commentary by Tami Bonnell, President of the U.S. Organization of EXIT Realty Corp. International Last week I had a speaking engagement one and a half hours away from home. Well it would have taken that long on a clear day but thanks to a brutal snow storm, it took me four hours to get there! I was feeling sorry for myself as I pulled over to get gas when a young man asked if he could pump my gas for me. I had to go in to the station to pay because the credit card slot on the pump was frozen. The snowfall was actually painful against my skin because of the wind and ice. As I came out of the station, the young man was still beside my car asking again if he could pump... 02/15/2011

Real Estate Tablets - Motorola Xoom will take the Real Estate Technology platform to a New Level While I am a big  APPLE IPAD fan and extremely anxious for the IPAD 2 to unveil in the Next few months, I am always keeping my eye on the Ball and ahead of the Curve. As almost 36 NEW tablets get unleashed in the next year or two, I am often asked which ones I think with be the "Players"in the Industry and Why. For many of you that know me, I will also be the first one to tell you which devices I do NOT think are worth their time or money because I truly believe in what I know as the Best of the Best.

I wanted to take a moment to share with you my thoughts on Mobile Technology for Real Estate Agents. Whether you have accepted it or not, Real estate has gone and will continue to go MOBILE. As a matter of fact, I believe in the next 3 to 5 years, Our business will be done mainly from a mobile device vs a Desktop PC or even a laptop. I also believe that in that same timeframe we will be accessing the Internet more from a Mobile Device than a PC. This is mainly due to the evolution of the smartphone, Tablets and APPS. Apps are going to Drive this NEW evolution. From the Iphone App store to the Android marketplace to the Blackberry App world. I wanted to give you my thoughts about personal apps for Real Estate Professionals. Many companies I see come out with an IPHONE app and get really... 09/18/2010
