There’s always something to howl about.

Who hates Paper – This Guy!

People that know the real Green Bay Greg know that I’m a geek when it comes to technology.  This passion for technology has helped streamline my business to become more efficient while helping the environment.  If you’re like most real estate professionals, I’m confident that you print at least a 100 pages of paper a week if not much much more. 

In reading a post from a well respected Bloodhound Blog contributor, James Hsu, I noticed that he started to transform his business with a tablet PC.  Being the geek that I am, I started to do more and more research about this great technology.    After thorough research I purchased my first tablet PC for real estate. 

After jumping in the water, I started to get really excited abot my new toy. As soon as it arrived I ripped it right out of the box and tried to sign a contract within the first 10 minutes of owning the machine. You might wonder how the hell did you know how to sign a contract on a machine you’ve never used? Well in researching tablet PCs, I started to find trends among the tablet PC users.  They either used a program called Microsoft One Note or another program called PDF Annotator.   Thankfully my tablet PC, the HP2730P, came with One Note preloaded on the machine.  I fired up Zipforms and went to file print and selected the printer (Send to OneNote2007).  After I printed the contract to OneNote I was signing contracts within seconds. 

My journey here at Bloodhound Blog will be about how I actually utilize my tablet PCc to completely run my real estate business.  Signing a contract is an obivious use, but after 4 months of using the tablet PC I’ve found ways to operate my whole business with it.   Streamlining and simplifying my day to day tasks has become a must for me, considering my volume of transactions is growing.  We all want to break through our personal barriers and graduate to the next level and that is what I’m going to share with you on a frequent basis.
