Here's a little humor!
I was cleaning out my e-mail earlier and I ran across an e-mail I received from a home seller that wanted to know how to get his house listed on Trulia. When I looked up his address it was already listed with another agent. So I told him the deal that he needed to ask his agent and that I really couldn't communicate with him because he was under contract.
He wrote me back with a very simple answer:
"I already tried that. My agent doesn't know what Trulia is."
I'm in an ornery mood tonight, so just for fun I decided to make a list...
You Might Need A New Realtor If...
... they think Zillow is a foreign word.
... they think Trulia is a disease.
... they think Active Rain is a thunderstorm.
... they canceled their website because they are just so busy with other business.
... they don't know what a blog is.
... the devil-box computer scares them and they don't even use e-mail.
... they think sticking a sign in the yard and not marketing on-line can still sell a house.
... they think text messaging is just for the "young 'uns".
... they think Craig's List must be your nephew's Christmas list.
... they are still using an Apple II.
... your info box is filled with standard, boring MLS input sheets and not custom fliers.
... they listed your house and then suddenly disappeared.
... they think the Internet is a "fad" and continue to work with a chisel and stone.
... they show up with huge, thick MLS books to do your complimentary CMA.
I'm sure I'll think of more later... :) Feel free to add your own.
I like it. A lot!
You know, sleep deprivation is the gateway to the subconcsious.
Jeff that is a pretty funny post! Thanks for the good laugh to start my day:)
Paul - I think I was experiencing that last night as I was sort ENDLESS receipts for my accountant.
Bill - I thought it was pretty funny too. You should allow reblogs! I'd use several of yours - great stuff.
