Office Productivity Modern Technology

Productive real estate sales representatives are often people willing to integrate face-to-face selling skills with modern technology. Realtors come in all ages, and an older representative can be quite reluctant with "hooking-up" to modern productivity software tools. Why is that? In many cases it's as simple as a fear of learning something new. When thinking about setting up computers to talk to each other, some sales reps may still believe the process is complicated, when in fact remotely accessing your office pc, literally from anywhere in the world, is a "service" available online. You sign up for the service, download the software, now you're office computer files and wireless laptop can always be connected.

There are so many circumstances this perk assists a real estate agent in being more productive. As an example, you're at your child's sporting event, your pager goes off, the selling broker needs a copy of the accepted offer which you inadvertently left stored on your computer at the office. Well, no sweat, you have you're wireless laptop with you and remote pc access connected to your office computer so you can simply get access to your office computer on your laptop, get the document and forward it by email to the Selling Representative. Now back to the game.

There are multiple uses for having remote access to your office computer: You're working on an Appraisal, you're getting tired and need a change of environment to finish the project. So you take your laptop with you to your favorite local restaurant, dial into your office computer to access the Appraisal you were working on. After a very productive hour of work, you complete your client's appraisal report, cover letter and all. Because you also have an email to fax service, you can forward the Appraisal directly to your client's fax machine, by email, from your laptop in the restaurant you are sitting in. How nice, you now get to leave the restaurant with the task completed. Next.

The real life scenarios of how email fax, remote pc, and even online meetings can function as modern tools for the busy real estate sales representative, are endless. Real estate and productivity are two words that marry. Commission rates are not at the levels they used to be years ago, so finding a method to create client volume in a professional way is vital to making an impression that separates you from others.
