100 Real Estate Haikus - #4 Top Producer

Haiku #4Oh, Top Producer / You Simplify CRM / I Need to Learn More! Oh Top Producer! How many Agents use this tool? I am going to venture a guess that LOTS of REALTORs® use Top Producer. It's almost like a necessary evil. There are many pros and cons to using this CRM ProgramAccording to a survey of Agents by Inman News A little more than 1/3 of respondents rated Top Producer 8, 9 or 10 out of 10 (with 10 being the highest). That means 2/3 rated it 7 or lower. In fact 16% rated it 1, 2 or 3!!!Now we all have our own opinion of what we like and what we don't like. Some folks who like Top Producer probably have parts of the product that they hate, but the rest makes up for it. Others may not like much about it at all and therefore use other CRM products.Pros:Great organizational toolIt helps track transactions.It has some social media tools built in.Can connect with sites like Zillow, Trulia, etc. to automatically add leads to database.Cons:Cost. $39.95/monthNot reallly intui

Haiku #3 Hootsuite is Awesome | Social Posts Are Easier | Have You Heard Of It? Hootsuite is a web-based application that allows you to manage your social media platforms all from one location. You can post to several platforms with just one post.It works similar to this:Set up your Hootsuite Networks/Streams. In otherwords, what social media platforms would you like to be able to post to?

Tech Failures

I read these on Mashable yesterday, Monday Morning, and knew I had to spread the word. Tech Failures As you can imagine, with 25 years of "virtual" experience under my belt, I pay close attention to all technology; Big companies like Apple ad Microsoft and smaller up and coming companies that have built empires on their own. Yesterday, these two giants were airing their laundry about issues with their products. The Google+ article was actually pretty funny because it had some great quotes from the company itself! Google+ The first thing I read was about Google and the Google+ feature. According to the Google people, they wanted a social network to compete against Facebook."As Google stumbled and failed and stumbled again, Facebook grew larger and more influential. By 2010, Facebook was privately valued at $14 billion and approaching 500 million users — accounts with real names, birthdays, photos, a network of connections and vibrant news feeds." The article provided some re

Monday Musings - Real Estate Agent Safety

Monday Musings - Real Estate Agent SafetyWe have all heard the stories. It's on the news more than we can bear. Maybe you even know someone whose safety has been compromised.REALTORs® have a tough job to begin with. Listings, showings, closings, marketing, social marketing, blogging, administrative in-house work....the list goes on and on. Agents should not have to ad background checks on every person they show a house to or every person who visits their open houses. It makes me sick and frustrates the begeebers out of me to know that a regular person is not safe in their job.So today, as a summer-time reminder and a Monday Musing...we will revisit Real Estate Agent Safety.Nobody believes it will happen to them. The neighborhood is too nice, the guy sounded so nice on the phone, etc., etc. Remember this applies to all aspects of your job...your safety, household valuables, vandalism to vacant property.The Top Crimes in Real Estate: Disgruntled clients endanger saftey and have killed
