Realtor Benefits

I think that one of the most useful tools that we have at our disposal is the WIRELESS MLS. How many times have we driven down the road, either with a client or by ourselves and wondered about a property that had a FOR SALE sign in front of it.

What do we do? Do you call the office and ask for somebody who can jump on the MLS and research it for you? Do you pull off the side of the road and open up your laptop?

Another scenario is that you finally take some time off to go to the restaurant with your family and your client is driving neighborhoods and sees a house that they need information about and they ask, "Do you know about this house, or should I call somebody else?

Sometimes, I really think they call it a Smart Phone because you were smart enough to buy it and get the Mobile MLS on it.

The Mobile MLS, I think, really makes you look good in front of a client when you go to a showing and drive by another house on the way and the client says, "What about that one?"

Your response can be, "Let's see. I will look it up right now. Oh yes, it did not show up on our search because you want a 4 bedroom with 2 living areas, and that home only has 3 bedrooms and 1 living area." You truly established a valuable service for your client.

I am interested in your thoughts. What do you think about the Mobile MLS service that OKCMAR has provided through the MLS?
