Guest Blogger - Jack McLaiughlin, the RealTime Realtor

Before we get to Jack's post, let me say this... Everyday I get Tweets or Facebook posts from agents letting me know "they're tired," the kids were up late" or "the movie really sucked."
For the record I don't care.... I suspect many of you feel the same way.... Now before you tell me to unfriend them or stop following them on Twitter I want to make a point....

Everday agents go out of their way to point out how tech savvy there are... They love to tell clients they have a Facebook page or annouce across a crowd room they Twitter... It's all fine and grand, but have a strategy. Figure out the reason you want to Twitter, or post something to Facebook... Just becuase I have a nice set of knives doesn't make me a chef...

I'll let Jack prove my point...

You Want it When?
by Jack McLaughlin

We have surrounded ourselves with gadgets, all with essentially one purpose – to collapse the amount of time it takes for us to get critical information. The Internet is the perfect delivery medium, and the goal is to get what you need, be it text, video or photos, in the precise moment when events are unfolding. You can track airline flights, stocks, satellite images and traffic, all in real time. Despite government efforts, the Iran revolution was blogged to the world in real time, using the micro blog site Twitter.

But what if you want current information on the Marin County real estate market? That’s where I come in, your RealTime Realtor. Every Wednesday and Thursday in Marin, new listings are open for brokers only, before they are available to the public. I visit the most intriguing of these homes, take a photo or two, rate the home and instantly post it to my Twitter site. My ratings and comments are candid and honest. If a home is a deal, I’ll tell you, and if it’s a dud, you’ll know that, too.

You can call me or text me for more information, and I will wait at the home if you want to see it right away. Looking in a particular town and price range? Tell me in advance and I will send you photos and data from homes that will interest you, all in RealTime. And of course, like all the best Internet services, it is absolutely free.

How do you subscribe? If you don’t already belong, take a minute to join Twitter (free) then search for MarinBroker and click on “follow”. For best results, turn ON “Device Updates”, put in your mobile number, and you will get my posts on your cell phone or other device. Do it now to get your Marin real estate data from your RealTime Realtor!
