About Washington's Adams Morgan

The catch is...you gotta be a blackberry user!!!

I found a cool tool in the Blackberry application store. It's called "Homes for Sale by Smarter Agent". You can search listings and homes for sale by Broker/zipcode...basically like MLS. First you have to have a blackberry (LOL), then you download Blackberry Application World to your phone, go to:

http://uk.blackberry.com/services/appworld/download.jsp#tab_tab_download

Follow the directions to download and install. Once you have done so, go ahead into the icon/app on your phone and go to the search option and type in "Homes For Sale"...it will take you right to the application and give you step by step insturctions to download and install.

I am sure there may be something similar for those who use Iphones (they have meebo for Iphone and not blackberry...darnit!!!) but this is of course for those of us who are loyal to good old blackberry!!

Enjoy!!

...And assuming these agents have buyers, which of you ahead of time makes a little portfolio of YOUR listings to hand to them should they have buyers that qualify for them? No?....Well consider that your tip of the day!!

Later! :)

That is a question I would love to ask a Real Esate professional once I am able to sit and talk with one. Ever since the bursting of the housing bubble and the exposure of the sub prime lenders and everything that has dramatically changed the current RE market around the country, that's been on my mind. The smoke has cleared a bit and the dust has settled, and there are still those who chose not to turn in or allow their licenses to expire.

So given the current state of things, and how many must look at us (especially those new to the business), my question to you is: DO YOU LOVE REAL ESTATE? Are you passionate about this and what you do and represent to people, or have you decided to hang in there for the sake of the next chunk of money? What keeps you going and do your clients see it reflected in all you say and do?

It's been quite an interesting thing to see as recently in my area (Washington, DC) there are many agents who are no longer in the business of Real Estate, licenses have been turned in and expired. So I ask, what is it that kept you in this buisness other than the money, what have you always gotten out of it that you feel you probably couldn't in another line of work?
