I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again – DocuSign loves seeing our customers share their tips on how to be successful. This week’s story comes from Courtney Self, a real estate agent in the South Bay of Los Angeles. Ms. Self shares her tips for using technology tools to connect with people.

 

Top 8 Technology Tools for Today’s Market:

  1. Microsoft Office: Microsoft’s productivity suite has word processing, presentation, and modeling/analysis tools.
  2. Laptop: A laptop allows for a high degree of mobility, enabling you to work anytime, anywhere.
  3. Smart Phone: A synced phone holds your most up-to-date client list and schedule. You can also text or instant message your clients and have email access.
  4. Digital Camera: A high quality digital camera helps you create photos for your online listings. Studies show that potential buyers spend more time looking at listings with more photos.
  5. Web site and email address: Having a professional looking site creates a professional
  6. image for you on the web. Email enables rapid written communication between you and your clients.
  7. GPS: This device attaches to your dashboard or windshield and can help you navigate from property to property efficiently. Most importantly, it helps you know where you are when you’re with a client.
  8. Zipforms (online real estate forms) w/ DocuSign: “It’s also easy to email to clients so you do not have to fax contacts as often, which can get messy, and if you sign up for DocuSign, your clients can even sign online. It’s beautiful.” I couldn’t have said it better myself.
  9. Contact manager: In addition to contact management, Top Producer has escrow tracking, email marketing, flyers and more. This allows you to market effectively to those who will provide you with business referrals.

Her advice for other real estate professionals is inline with the advice we shared last week, from HomeGain Blog. Technology tools, including DocuSign’s electronic signature and online contract execution services, can help you improve and streamline your operations while presenting a professional image.
