In This Age of the Internet, Don't Forget the Phone

Most consumers these days are using the Internet - for reading (newspapers, for example), shopping, making reservations (cars, hotels, air, restaurant), general research on just about any topic, and much more.

You, since you are here, are using it for your house hunting and relocation. Recent studies suggest 70% are doing so - my personal thought is more like 80-85%. It's a great way to learn about a new area that you are thinking of moving to, finding a home, researching schools, and more. I'll be the first one to tell you that using the Internet as part of your house hunting strategy is essential.

But in this age of the Internet, don't forget the phone. Sometimes the best way to get information is to call someone and ask. You can have a dialog, ask specific questions, and sometimes learn more than if you were to only use the Internet. And who knows, you might hook up with the right person to help you in your purchase.

Over the weekend I had calls from some folks in Florida who are moving here, as well as someone in Georgia who was interested in a particular area of Carlsbad that I know well. It's much easier to get specific bits of information in a phone conversation than through email.

Maybe you are not ready to get into a personal interaction with someone on the phone about your move. But don't ignore the value of the personal telephone call to get help when you need it, in addition to your Internet research.

HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Best Wishes for a Healthy and Prosperous 2008!!
