When RE brokers meet with the IT people

When I was a little kid, I used to be scared of my first day in a different school. With my family I used to move quite a lot around the States and settling with new friends and teachers was always challenging. When I became a teenager and faced the job market, I became scared of the new people I would have met at work. It wasn’t really the “meeting someone” that scared me, but the challenge of becoming part of an existing mechanism.

It’s a fact in the Real Estate business, the IT department plays a major role in the company’s day-to-day operations. It represents a well oiled mechanism that allows brokers to use incredible tools to increase their business. It also represents the scariest department for a newbie broker. I wonder what kind of real estate broker never felt at least once lost in the procedures and instructions provided by the IT department. We are scared because we are not stupid, but we feel like stupid, we know how to use a computer, but we feel like children. Well, I saw many times these kinds of faces strolling around in the office. I felt bad for them!

So, I came out with the idea of running a blog about this. I want to make brokers with few IT skills more confident about new technologies and the web. I want to make brokers with no IT skills not felt behind of colleagues who master the IT language. Don’t feel lost, don’t feel upset, just check this blog once in awhile and write me an email! Its’ that simple!!!

À bientôt!
