To do this, you will need to know three keystroke commands.  I say them in the video, but want to type them out so you can see them visually as …

I hope you enjoy this and that it helps some of you out there with the daily frustrations of manually adding signatures in Gmail everytime…this way it will do it automatically for you.

There are many real estate website solution providers out there today.  And of course there’s also the option of going with a custom website.  This is an expensive options, but if you can afford it, I say do it - right.  Make sure you take the time to check references and google results for this person or company that says they can build you your dream site.  If all the sites in their portfolio are doing not so well on Google, why would you want them involved with your site?  You wouldn’t.  That said, if you cannot afford a custom site, which most agents cannot, I suggest you go with Advanced Access.  I have nothing to gain by recommending them…no affiliate code or anything.  And I know they have had their issues in the past as all growing solut

The bottom line is that’s a lot of traffic and if you’re not taking advantage of it, I don’t see how you can be doing your best for your clients.
