I like this quote, not sure where I got it, but have had it saved in my files for awhile. When I first got into the business, the buzz word was realtors were not going to be around anymore. That was scary just starting my career. Now we have found that the internet doesn't replace us at all but those agents that use the internet ARE replacing those that don't.
Look around your communities and see if that is not true ! I know some agents that are still using AOL for their email and rarely check it.
- What's a blog ?
- What is a podcast ?
- What is SEO ?
- What is a widget ?
- It is a never ending battle to stay on top of it all, but it is a necessity that we do.
Look at agents around the country that are new to the business. It is overwhelming what they have to learn. But, then there are those that hit the ground running and are selling millions their first year. They have grown up with technology, it is the air they breath so they can jump in and their careers just take off.
In Michigan you can get your realestate license with 40 hours of classroom study. One day, I was walking through Walmart a few years ago and I overheard this girl talking to her mom, in a Southern accent, "I'm gonna get me a real estate license". You can get it for 240.00". I died laughing (to myself of course). Every year it requires more skills whether in the classroom or just staying on top of technology.
"Those that learn more earn more" a favorite quote by Dave Liniger, co founder of RE/MAX with his wife Gail.
