Hey! Yes, from Georgia!  Agents... Please get more approvals on those 'handshakes!'  Why would you not want the extra exposure for your listings in such a nice, professional way?  I have approved everyone, yet I have 1692 pending approval of a handshake with me!  I also think that for our clients, that we should use the Listing features as much as possible.  When I see a $3 million dollar house and there is one picture, no rooms set up.... I am in disbelief!  What an opportunity to outsell our competition!  They gave us the tools, let's use them!

Yes Janet, it is amazing that some agents don't take the opportunity for their clients listings to show up on an additional 1692 websites!  

I have the same frustrations.  I have given away many point2 sites and it seems that many of the recipients never bother to login on a regular basis or stay updated on the features and how to use them to their clients benefit.

While websites and e-mail have become a must have for real estate agents, there are simply some agents that really shouldn't enter that arena because they won't take the initiative to do it right (single pictures, no mls number, no price, no property details, no handshakes).  

There is also the problem of agents throwing money at the technology sector, meaning they spend money on multiple sites and never utilize any of them to the fullest extent nor learning or utilizng the features that they have at their disposal.  I have been witness to agents in a slow market where they simply do not have time to work on their web site content. What are they doing with their time?

Others I have seen log in to their system, stare at the screen, and never make any substantial effort to enhance their site or their clients listing.  What are they doing?  Some simply come up with a "me" centric slogan for the world to see and wonder why they can't capture business off of the net.  I think that even in this age of everyone surfing the net, there is still a computer phobia of being afraid to push a button.

None the less, I have finally figured out that there are just some agents that should not even be attempting to utilize these tools.  They have a site for two reasons 1) they think some magic bullet will bring them business with no effort  2) clients know how buyers find property and they don't have much choice but to say "hey, I've got a website, here's my address" and they don't even know what a URL is when asked.
