I
Do Both!
TMI,
standing for Too Much Information, seems to be
a popular topic of conversation these days. Are the lauded benefits
of the computer age being overwhelmed by information overload?
Are we becoming victims of too much of a good thing?
Being
in the Sedona real estate business, I question that we may be
starting to impose unnecessary frustrations on you, our clients.
How
much technology do we really need to help a client find
and purchase the Sedona property that is right for them?
As
a veteran Sedona real estate agent, I look around
at the proliferation of new gadgets and services being offered
to our industry and wonder if we haven’t gone overboard.
Electronic assistance in highlighting listings, new methods
for communicating with clients, targeting potential customers
more effectively, tracking visitors’ buying habits
on a web site, automatic pod-casting, video-casting, text
messaging, optimizing, answering phone calls directly through
a web site, increasing the amount of blogging, joining a
social network, or maybe two, or three. |

All
of this innovation is truly amazing to watch. What I keep asking
myself is, how many of these web 2 improvements will actually
enhance my ability to properly serve my clients? Realtors for
the most part are high-touch people. We reach out on a personal
level and try to accurately sense what the client is looking for.
Then we work like the devil to try and find the property that
we believe will fulfill the client’s expectations. That
basic approach is unlikely to ever change.

I
understand and do use some high-tech alternatives, probably
more so than most agents. However, until the day arrives
that high-tech alone can achieve the level of competency
my clients have come to expect from me, I will avoid
the bells and whistles, and selectively utilize only
those tools that I know can add to my client’s
satisfaction.

That
may not earn me the reputation of being the coolest Sedona real
estate agent in town, but it will surely continue my recognition
as one of the most effective and dependable ones around.
