Best Realty's Lake Oroville Real Estate Blog

Is this technology thing terrific or what.
Late last week I showed a home to a first time home buyer in the Lake Oroville real estate market. She liked the house enough to make an offer on it last Saturday evening  through the online bidding process that the seller had established.  No paper offer to write and no signature needed when submitting our bid.  I simply discussed the offer terms with the buyer and from my desk and computer  in my home office I entered the online bid.
Come Monday morning I received an e-mail, on my iPhone, at about 6:30 am informing me that the seller had responded to the offer by sending us a counter offer. I immediately called the buyer, discussed the counter offer and decided to submit a counter offer to the seller’s counter offer.
I submitted the new terms to the seller. After about an half hour I received another e-mail letting me know that the seller had accepted our new terms. I promptly called my buyer to inform her of the good news.  After congratulating her and discussing the next steps in the process, I ended the call and hung up the phone.
It was then that it hit me.
I was sitting there in front of my computer screen, in the privacy of my home office, negotiating, and getting an acceptance on, a contract for my Lake Oroville real estate first time home buyer, IN MY UNDERWEAR!!!
Not only can you now do a lot of your real estate business from home,  you can even do some of it in your tighty whities.
Ok, so now you think I am some kind of nut case. Heck, you might be right. It  just happened to be one of those things that brought to mind how quickly this industry is evolving. Probably should not have gone off my medication!!!! LOL
