Another fantastic video post Michael… Brian truly understands what is needed to be successful in Real Estate these days. Great to see you guys at the Cyberstars® Summit in AZ.

Great piece Michael. This is the future of real estate.
I really enjoyed Michael’s interview on going mobile. Right now, there are so many stories about how to use “New Media” that it can get to be very confusing on which technologies work best for the Real Estate Professional.
For example, should the agent Twitter, Face book, build a web site, etc? It is really about building a community of loyal clients, contacts, advisors, and friends who are interested in keeping up on real estate issues by keeping in contact with their real estate advisor.
I am a Professor of Real Estate and Computer Science at Sacramento City College. One of the courses I teach is titled “Computer Applications in Real Estate”. I am in the process of developing a web site to support my classes. Shown below is a link to some information about this course:

Also, on the web site I have some video tutorials that I have been developing which I use in my class. I will be posting more tutorials in the future. Shown below is a link to some video tutorials I have made on how to use Microsoft Publisher in a real estate practice:

what video camera do you use and do you use an external microphone or the one built into the camera? Thanks
Hey Bob,
I shoot with both a FLIP and Sony HDR-SR12 and use an excternal hand held mic.

How true your video is on the ever changing industry of Real Estate! My question though is since Brian Copeland likes using a MAC laptop, which is my preference as well,… does he run into issues with compatibility of MLS services or other on-line applications on the web by using a MAC? I have run into issues with our local MLS provider not supporting anything but Windows.
Thanks,
Hey Kevin,
Having not yet crossed over to the dark side (I’m a PC) don’t many mac users run Leopard/Base Camp to get around the problem??
Michael and his guests save you two or three hours for every ten minutes you listen. Just get the aha’s and head out to get the equipment or software you need.
Humor is the essential ingredient in these brief interviews. The music is fabulous, too.
Keep up the good work and see you on the LIFE SUCCESS COACHING CHANNEL!

Hi,
What e-fax system do you use? I am having trouble sending efaxes with my efax company because the files are too large. I use fax away.com. This system is working great with in coming faxes… just ready to get rid of my land line for sending faxes too:)

Hey Cheryl,
There a number of solutions now – many incorporating 800 #’s and a following me type system e.g. transferring inbound calls to your cell/office or wherever you point them, voice to email and fax.
Best of all these have really come down in price … I use http://www.segwaycommunications.com/
For simple fax http://efax.com
You mentioned large files though .. you may want to look at something like http://www.transferbigfiles.com/ or http://yousendit.com
Hope this helps.
