Real Estate – the process explained

December 4th, 2012

Real Estate – the process explained

If you’ve landed here from an article, through a recommendation or by a random stroke of luck, you’re probably wondering what dotloop is all about.

That’s why we’ve taken the time to draw it out for you.

You see, dotloop is a unique solution with a unique proposition. More than just aiding in the process, we’re fundamentally changing the way real estate transactions take place.

“So, you’re a transaction management system?”

Not exactly.

“An e-Signature solution?”

Not quite.

dotloop eliminates the paperwork in real estate transactions, provides a streamlined process and allows agents to spend more time better serving their clients. But it’s more than just a place to keep your transactions organized.

It’s a place to keep the documents, see the process in action and do the work.

It’s a place to fundamentally change the way you get a deal done. So no more bouncing around from system to system, no more leaving clients stranded in the process.

Just real estate, plain and simple.

At dotloop, we know that real estate technology doesn’t have to be segmented, broken and inefficient.

Watch the video above for a walk-through of the dotloop difference.

QR Codes ~ How to make your own

QR Codes ~ How to make your own

I keep getting asked about how to make a QR Code so I thought I’d record this screen cast  showing how to make one. It’s really easy to do, so sit down turn your volume up on your computer (so you can hear me talk) and take some notes!  Oh, and please don’t laugh at me…as this was my very first attempt at screen casting!

If you need a QR code scanner or reader for your smart phone, just go to your app center and search for Bar Code scanners or key in  Zxing and you’ll find the one we use.

This is what a finished QR code can look like. This one has all my contact info but you can create one for just about anything. A listing, an open house…let your imagination fly!

Social Media Revolution – Time’s Moving QUICKLY!

October 27th, 2009

I’ve watched this video several times, and each time I’ve seen something I didn’t catch the first time around.

When it comes to technology, the internet, social media and many other things, time moves very quickly – at break-neck speed it seems.

 

                   

Just when you think you’re caught up……everything changes again, or just keeps changing!

Think, then tweet

According to a recent article in the NY Times, angry tweets sometimes result in legal action against the tweeter. Its common sense for one to think before speaking, and likewise we all should think before tweeting or posting comments anywhere in the social media universe.

Did You Know….. “Shift Happens” in the Information Age

September 29th, 2009

 

                   

This updated version of “Did You Know” was just completed and released on September 19th, 2009.  One of our speakers at our NHAR Convention showed this to us, and it really shows you how quickly things change in this world, especially with regarding to communications and connections. 

The Information Age we live in changes at an incredulous pace!  You may, or may not, want to be part of it, but whether you like it or not, you ARE part of all these changes.

 

If you haven’t seen the original “Shift Happens” video, watch the original one below.  Then you can compare how things have shifted enormously since the original video that was done in Feb. 2007, and the updated one above.

                     

 

It is amazing how quickly our world is changing!  We can either embrace and hop on board for the ride, or be left behind, wondering what happened……..

Social Media is here to stay

NH REALTORS have an awesome opportunity to learn from the Pros!

If you’re new to the world of social media and  blogging, Twitter, Facebook, SEO and YEO… and you haven’t signed up for that New Hampshire Association of REALTORS convention yet….you should do so as soon as possible.

Convention is packed with Web 2.0/Social Media rock stars

The Social Media speakers presenting at this convention are from all over the country and they actually use social media everyday in their business. They walk the talk and know it works.

They have spoken at the National Association of REALTOR conventions, franchise conventions and RE Bar Camps. If that’s not enough reason for you to attend then how about the fact that this is probably one of the most affordable New Hampshire conventions in years.

You really can’t afford to miss it

If you are a NH REALTOR who is active on Twitter or Facebook then you’ve  most likely seen their updates! I’m thrilled that the Professional Development committee has brought them to NH!  Thrilled that they have agreed to come and share their techniques with us all.  Come and meet Mariana Wagner aka @Mizzle a real estate blogger and coach from Colorado Springs, Linda Davis aka @LindaDavis a Blogger and trainer from Connecticut, Cyndee Haydon aka @CyndeeHaydon a blogger who passionately believes in the power of video from Clearwater Florida and NAR’s own Keith Garner aka @KTGeek a blogger and a member of NAR’s geek squad.

This is one convention you can’t afford to miss.. especially if you want to stay in real estate

Don’t miss it! You have an awesome opportunity here and I sure hope you reach out and take it!  You can get more convention info or register for the convention here http://www.nhar.org/annual-convention

Social Media a waste of time

If you think Social Media is a big fat waste of time or a fad that is going away… then watch this video before you decide not to attend the convention.

Everyone loves discounts!  PC Connection has put together a discount program for NHAR members that I just found out about.

This great discount program, called “NHAR Agent Store“, offers some great savings to us, just because we’re members of New Hampshire Association of Members.  How cool is that?!?!?!

The link above will open to a “Welcome New Hampshire Association of REALTORS” page.  From there, you’ll be asked if you’re a first-time user or a returning user, and you follow the prompts from there.

Go check it out and HAPPY SHOPPING!! ;-)
