Looks like this will be a good tool for agents as well as consumers. Thanks!
I've long thought that the NAR's class requirement to meet the "Code of Ethics" standard was at best, a bad joke – But don’t worry, you can take the class online to pass the ethics requirement (cough, cough). - YOU CAN'T teach someone to have good character or be ethical! And we all learn and embrace our core values and beliefs at different levels and times in our lives, and with different levels of sincerity and follow-through. Our past record and our client's experience of us is probably a much better measure than any certification, pledge, or promise we make. But as noble as the intent is to set a standard and gauge agent’s integrity, I’m afraid it may be doomed to failure. There will always be those who try to game the system to hide behind their true intent. But I’d like to be optimistic. Let’s see if this system and process does a good job of weeding those people out or not.
I'm really excited about where video is starting to go for real estate. I started doing real estate video back in 1982 when I produced a short television show in Seattle called "Real Estate Video". It was a great way to show listings for sale on local-access cable TV. Now, everything is digital and that gives us great opportunities and distribution options.
I'm especially excited about using Google Earth as part of the production and think that this is where things are going to evolve over the next few years. Check out my recent blog post on how to integrate Google Earth into your Real Estate Video.
