It's sunny in Tacoma Today!

Today is that most special of days in Washington. I am sitting on my deck for the FIRST TIME THIS YEAR! That’s right it is sunny and not too cold and I am spending the afternoon catching up on emails and other tasks while sitting in the sun. I have some great Cuban music streaming through my wireless network and I am truly enjoying working!

In Tacoma we take our sunny days seriously. We don’t seem to get that many. I know that we actually have a great climate but it always seems like winter drags on way too long. What does this have to do with real estate? Glad you asked.

Technology has advanced so that with a small investment real estate agents can do their jobs from just about anywhere. A laptop that will do everything that the majority of us require can be purchased for less than $800.00 easily. Cell phones now have unlimited minutes for under $100.00 a month! I know that I am switching my plan to one of the unlimited plans this week. No more worrying if my cell phone bill will be more than the national debt of a small island country. Efaxes, scanners, and printers are all available and are portable. We can work anywhere.

A few months ago I wrote a post about whether real estate agents needed offices anymore. It sparked a small conversation about the value of an office for agents. I know that I cannot work from home 100% of the time. I am simply too easily distracted to be as productive as I need to be. However, I know that I don’t want to drive 30 miles roundtrip just to get a fax from the office. Having the technology to work from home is vital to my professional success and my personal happiness. Besides my office while nice and new doesn’t have a deck to sit on!

I hope that all of you are enjoying the sunny weather that you are having. If you’re not enjoying sunny weather don’t worry I won’t be enjoying it much longer. It is supposed to rain tomorrow…….
