I'm a little more biased towards professionals that embrace the various technology available to them...or at least make an attempt to use them. It shows me that they're open to new methods of doing of business--which usually means they're setting themselves apart from the pack. In this new world of instant gratification and higher levels of expectations you want to know, as the one paying for the service, that your questions and concerns will be addressed in a timely fashion--via an email, text, voice mail or god forbid a call back. Now, how do I get my plumber or electrician to text me when they're dropping by? eddy,

Very valid points about agents and technology. Being a tech guy I tend to frown on professionals that aren't using the latest technology or lack a decent website. But you're absolutely right, it shouldn't be something I should hold against a given professional. That being said, I tend to relate more to professionals that use the same technology I use such as emails, text messaging etc. I think it's very important as a professional that you adjust with the times and use tools that your clients will expect. For instance I stopped giving a lot of business to a travel agent I used for years because she was reluctant to email me information I needed about trips. It started becoming a deal breaker because I didn't really have the time to yap on the phone. But more importantly I felt she was failing to respect my preferences as a client which is a no no in my book. So that should be something that should be considered by any professional. Fortunately, you adjust accordingly. lol Jaime,
