Well&#8230; not all of us &#8211; but most of us, at least.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes we look to improve our looks. We vow to eat less and exercise more.<\/p>\n<p>Other times it might be a resolution of faith&#8230; or charity. The giving of ourselves in service to others.<\/p>\n<p>This year, I am making a commitment to increase my value to my clients. Not my apparent value (although the recognition would be nice) but rather my true value. I am looking to provide a better return to my clients than previously possible.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, I have tried to stay a step or two ahead of the pack with innovative technology&#8230; sometimes too many steps ahead. It wasn&#8217;t that long ago that while most agents didn&#8217;t have a website &#8211;  I was running streaming video tours of my listings. Not the crappy ones, mind you &#8211; good ones. I spent over $15K to have the equipment to produce quality video&#8230; and that&#8217;s exactly what I did. For a while, anyway.<\/p>\n<p>In my opinion, however, quality still photography is a better medium than video&#8230; and if you combine still photography with a flash presentation complete with voice-overs and background music &#8211; you&#8217;ve got the best of both worlds. A multimedia presentation that the viewer can control.<\/p>\n<p>I am a firm believer in the concept of communicating the features and benefits of a particular property to buyers and their agents, alike. I believe it serves my clients well to have the best exposure I can give them. Here is a draft of a presentation I am working on now. Keep in mind that it&#8217;s not finished&#8230; and the audio will have to be re-recorded as I did this while still feeling very ill and short of breath.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.2561woodcreekct.com\">www.2561WoodCreekCt.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>So set your sights on the New Year soon to be at hand.<\/p>\n<p>What will YOUR resolution be?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each year, many of us look back on the previous year with thoughts on how to improve ourselves in the coming year.
