Random Thoughts on Commercial Real Estate & Technology

I attended the Investment Exchange Counselors Meeting this morning. This group consists of a lot of old-timers in the commercial real estate business and they are very knowledgeable. It's a good meeting.

However, one of the members mentioned that he had to return his Blackberry because it was too complex for him. He went back to his normal cell phone.

This got me to thinking about all the new technology, including social networking, that we have available to us as commercial brokers (especially since my 20-something son is trying to get me to get a Blackberry and I'm weakening).

I blog, I text and I'm on LinkedIn, but I'm not on MySpace or FaceBook nor do I "Twitter". I know of brokers who have gotten clients because they have websites or blogs.

How many of you have gotten deals from the new technology, such as a Blackberry or FaceBook or Twitter and which technology was it?

Your comments are always appreciated. Thanks for reading.
