I'm not going to reiterate what has already been said Alisha. The only thing I will say is that even if you were joking, there are going to be a lot of agents that might miss the punchline and believe this as the gospel. And judging by the reaction from the "savvy" agents, I think that might be the case. You just need to realize you have some real influence when your post is up on the Inman site and sometimes people don't understand they were supposed to laugh.

I always try to think about this when it comes to blogs I comment on. People like to feel the information they are putting out there is relevant and worth the read. Sometimes it takes just a couple of minutes to read and jot down a comment but the rewards can last so much longer than the comment itself.

In this sea of information, we tend to lose sight of what is important in life and business.....relationships. You and I have known of each other for over a year through "technology" but it wasn't until we got to sit down for lunch in Scottsdale earlier this year that we really got to know each other and start to build a lasting friendship. The method of our interaction is sometimes the most important part of starting a relationship. We often forget the simple things (like pen and paper) can make a favorable impression that no technology could ever replace.
