A day with Mr. and Mrs. Buyer

May 1st, 2009

I sell homes all over the Pittsburgh area. Pittsburgh has about 150 neighborhoods. I live in one of them. Knowing about the other 149 is a bit of a challenge.

Sometimes here is how my conversation with my out-of-town buyers goes:

Me: So… what do you think? lol

Mr. Buyer: Hmm.. nice house! Is there a gym nearby? :???:

Me: Um.. Yes there is… (thank God, I’d Google’d it out last night). Just 3 miles down the road. :smile:

Mr. Buyer: Does it have a pool, do you know? :???:

Me: Oh.. I’ll have to get back to you on that. :oops:

Mrs. Buyer: I love dancing. Is there a dance studio near here? :???:

Me: Yes… (Thankyou Google!). I did see it on the map of the area. :lol:

Mrs. Buyer: Oh great! Can I walk to it or do I have to drive? :???:

Me: I’ll have to get back to you on that too :oops:

Mr. and Mrs. Buyer: rolleyes :roll:

Well… that is an uncomfortable situation to be in. I’m sure many of my realtor friends will agree with that. Well, that’s where aroundpoint tours have helped me immensely.

I just created the inital property and let the seller fill in the details. Most times he’s more than happy to provide the detail to showoff his neighborhood. And now Aroundpoint will find the Points of Interest for you! All the seller or me have to do is to personalize them.

I hope you like the tool too! Try it here

Let me know your experience!

Cheers!

Can you get a 100%? Give it a shot.. takes about 10 minutes.

Lockbox key on the iPhone

April 18th, 2009

Whatever happened to the hype about getting us to use our iPhones to unlock the supra lockboxes ?

The Supra Lockboxes use InfraRed waves for communicating with the “key” device. I would think that with the blue tooth standard, it would be easy for iPhones/iTouches to have the software to unlock the lockboxes. And you really don’t have to have a wi-fi connection to the internet when we are at the listing. Update the “keys” at home using the home wi-fi and then use bluetooth to unlock at the listing!

Why isn’t this already available?
