I know an agent with big hair – she used to drive a Cadillac – she traded it in for a Lexus.<\/p>\n
She likes to lunch – alot<\/em> – with friends, clients and colleagues.\u00a0 She started selling real estate when I started high school – basically ALONG time ago.<\/p>\n She’s not on Facebook.\u00a0 She twitters only in the office – face to face – with friends, clients and colleagues.\u00a0 She’s not on MySpace – Her space is the desk in the office – overwhelmed with a prodigous Rolodex with cards falling out.\u00a0 She emails, but her assistant does the typing.\u00a0 Funny thing is – she seems to always be on the phone.\u00a0 Talking.\u00a0 Offering well-wishes on birthdays, engagements, job promotions, new children arrivals and even new grandchildren arrivals.<\/p>\n I think she may be working on the third generation of her first clients.<\/p>\n I’ve never heard her ask for business – often times the phone calls are incoming, not outgoing.\u00a0 She’s busy, but not overwhelmed.\u00a0 During a casual conversation regarding a recent property showing, she shared some very valuable insight regarding the unit – you see, she’s sold it twice before.<\/p>\n When she tells me she knows everyone in the business, I believe her.<\/p>\n She’s social – but not of the media type.<\/p>\n In comparison, I believe I am more social, but perhaps too much of the media type.\u00a0 I like technology.\u00a0 I believe that technology can and will transform how real estate is transacted.\u00a0 Through observation, however, I have learned that even in the absence of technology, real estate is transacted – quite successfully.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I know an agent with big hair – she used to drive a Cadillac – she traded it in for a Lexus.
