Anyone who is trying to sell a house for the first time should be using a real estate agent, especially in today economic environment. The most common reason people try to sell homes on their own is to avoid the commission but is that really worth it? Using an agent will benefit you in many ways and now that it is so difficult to sell any house, you probably need all the expertise an agent can bring with them.

Over the years I’ve tought real estate agents how to utilize technology to their advantage as far back as when DOS was around. Seriously, this was the time when mobile phones were called “car phones.” Probably one of my most memorable achievements was working for the company that introduced laptops to the world of real estate. In the good old days they were heavier and weighed about 10lbs. Heck the hard drive was even smaller than what an iPod Nano uses today. My point is; many things have changed over the years and real estate contact management is one of them.
