Could I do business without it? Sure. Same with my laptop, desktop, cell phone, my fax (uh, e-fax!), my GPS, OK, get the point? I've been in this business for 25 years and have not always embraced technology, but I do tend to get on the bandwagon in due time. No different with the iPad I finally bought this year. And like so many other tools, it makes my job SO much easier! I could set here and talk for an hour on how an iPad will make your life so much easier, make you look so much more professional, and save you a ton of time! I won't do that here, but I will say, I RARELY use paper anymore. I don't have paper folders for clients anymore. I print MLS sheets in PDF format, and they are delivered right into an "Evernote" file, (my most favorite time saving app!) where I line up my property tours, and often hand them the iPad and let them navigate! If a buyer is interested in a house and wants to write an offer, we look up comps and write the offer, often right there in the house, right on my iPad using zip forms. They even sign the offer and I even email it, often while still in the house! Again, in a short paragraph, I can't scratch the surface of advantages of having an iPad. If you don't have an iPad (or any other tablet for that matter), you should!!
