Wireless Internet
There are certain classic “virtual office” jobs that have been around for decades and benefit tremendously from the technology that wireless internet offers. One such traditional occupation would be Real Estate. Real Estate Agents oftentimes work out of their car and home office. They rarely have a “typical” day at work and frequently juggle many different duties.
Realtors have to wear many different hats. They may play the part of a counselor for a frustrated seller, a pillar of support for a scared and nervous buyer, a marketer, advertiser, salesperson, decorator, coach, adviser, secretary, taxi driver, etc. Because of all the roles they play, a Real Estate Agent may find themselves trying to do everything at once, and organization is critical. Because of this, realtors have truly benefited from the advancements in technology that have made mobile wireless internet service available to such large cities as Dallas, TX.
Wireless internet service is a very useful tool for any realtor. Here are a few ways that it can boost your business.
1. Skip having to check in with the office. Pit stops to the office seem to be a necessary evil for many realtors in order to stay organized and take care of computer work and office duties. But now with Dallas WiMAX wireless internet service, you can take your office with you! This allows you to bring your organizational power to the road and waste less time in unnecessary pit stops. With your laptop, you have internet access right from your car. Or you can bring your laptop in each house that you are showing and plug it into any standard outlet. This gives you internet service at any house and any location you view. WiMAX makes this possible with a simple little device the size of a portable USB key chain that connects to your laptop.
2. Bring MLS with you. While driving around looking at houses, your client sees a house with a sign in the yard. This was not a house that you were planning on showing them that day, but they say they are interested in checking it out. With your Dallas WiMAX wireless internet, you simply turn on your laptop, pull up MLS and type in the address of the house in question. You can see the price and show the client the pictures. Perhaps after looking, they will decide that actually they are not that interested, and you just saved yourself the time and trouble of showing a house to them unnecessarily. OR, maybe they will see the price and pictures and it will be just what they were looking for! Either way, having the MLS with you on the road makes it convenient to pull up any information that you need unexpectedly, and with speed and convenience.
3. Send your client’s offer right from your car. By having internet capability with you on the road, you can use your e-fax account (available through many different companies online) to fax your offer right then and there. Or, you can email it to the seller’s agent instead. Either way, portable wireless Internet makes it possible.
4. Don’t miss that important fax or wait until later to get it. Are you expecting an important fax or email? Perhaps you are expecting an offer to come in. Don’t miss it just because you are on the road with clients. That fax can go straight to your e-fax account and will be instantly emailed to you. Your laptop will tell you that you have an email and you can view the fax instantly
5. Keep your clients in the loop. Are your clients moving here from another city or state? Are they asking you questions such as what there is to do in the area? Where the nearest school is? Or day care? Or their favorite store, etc? With your portable Internet, you can pull up the information instantly and answer all their questions. You have available at your fingertips a limitless supply of books and facts and information…a virtual library known also as the internet. There’s never a question that cannot be answered.
