Selling homes from my couch?

Is it possible in today’s technical and Internet savvy world that a Realtor or real estate agent who’s trying to sell a home can do it from their couch?  Here in Raleigh real estate is viewed by home buyers over 90% of the time before they ever contact a Realtor.  If an agent has great pictures, proper information and multiple sources for home buyers to find that home for sale online…I suppose you COULD sell a home from the couch!

Why not?!  Marketing is done via computer, Internet, eFax and networking.  Social media has opened the door for agents to network in their pajama’s.  Now, I’m not advocating this a practice but it is possible.  After all, tech savvy home buyers have been known to buy a home based on pictures and video when relocating to a new city!

There is a really cool tool I’ve found if you do work from home.  Check out this “desk” for your laptop…pretty cool and keeps you from back pain!  They’ve sold out but are working on a next generation now, according to their website.

Now, if I could only figure out how my car can drive clients to check out homes while I type their paperwork up.  I can email with digital signatures but I can’t drive and type…yet.  I’m sure I could dig up some voice activated software here in Raleigh to dictate too!

Happy house hunting on line and in person…
