Top Agents Give Tech Tips at National Convention
Three of the nation's top real estate agents discussed how technology can affect your business, at the Prudential Real Estate sales convention in San Diego last month. Among these panelists was San Diego's own Alan Shafran of The Alan Shafran Group in Carlsbad.
Shafran, Prudential California Realty's top-producing North County coastal real estate agent, has built his business on the concept that technology keeps a business up to date, up to speed, and thus ahead of its competition. He shared that philosophy with fellow convention attendees.
"Having the latest in technology allows you to spend your time focusing not only on what your clients need, but what they want - and that's what truly makes the difference," explained Shafran.
The panel focused on the latest tools that agents can use to streamline their business and to earn them more sales, while spending less money and in less time. Shafran also explained how to make a paperless office work and why it is so important to be paperless in your dealings.
A 22-year veteran of the real estate community, Shafran stressed the importance of using laptops, Web pages and wireless technology to efficiently communicate. He also suggested systemizing each transaction to streamline efforts and ensure each client is receiving the best care possible.
The Prudential Real Estate sales convention is an annual event, bringing together real estate agents from around the country to honor top achievers and share best practices that will help move the agents' businesses to the next level.
