I work at Coldwell Banker Horizon Realty in Kelowna, BC and I am the youngest real estate agent in our office. I personally "grew up" with facebook when it was first launched in February 2004. For me, social media became an essential way to communicate with my friends and family, and today it is an integral part of how business all over the world is conducted.
If you have met me, you know that I am a bit of a social media/technology geek and I should be paid by apple for the amount of sales that I generate and the endorsements that I give the brand on a daily basis. I love my iphone, ipad and my macbook, it allows me to not only be mobile with my business but efficient as well. Instant access to the web, documents in a cloud and staying on-top of the next social media trend or technology gadget is what sets agents apart from the crowd as the next generation of Real Estate Agents.
The business of Real Estate Sales in Kelowna and across the world is changing at a rapid pace. Goodbye to the highly sought after thick bound books printed weekly containing the MLS listings, environmentally damaging print advertising, paper contracts and what is a phone book? Say hello to contracts being signed electronically, social media marketing, environmentally friendly business practices that save time, money and energy for both the client and the agent.
So why is it important to deal with the next generation of real estate agents who are social media and tech savvy? For sellers; your property is marketed better, faster and more efficiently, which means it is sold faster. For Buyers; instant access to customized searches and less time wasted looking at less than desirable potential homes which means you are able to save time, money and find the home of your dreams faster. The way real estate is being done has changed and it is changing everyday, hiring the right agent with an edge on the competition is becoming more important than ever.
The next generation of real estate agents are mobile and efficient. They twitter, text, youtube & facebook, the come equipped with a iphone, an ipad and every resource you need at the touch of a finger to help you buy and sell your dream home whenever and where ever you are. The world of real estate has already change and will change again tomorrow, luckily today we can keep up all with the touch of a button.
I am in the next generation of real estate agents and I cant wait to work with you!
