iPad + Real Estate-a bit on my why this is a good match

I originally wrote this just before the new iPad 2 was officially available for sale several weeks ago.I have found my iPad to be an excellent compliment to being a highly mobile real estate agent-allowing me to answer and address more questions,whether I am working with buyers,sellers,tenants or landlords, without having to ‘go back to the office’ -NB

So today is ‘iPad day’ . The second generation iPad is released for purchase today,many of you may have ordered it online,or are heading to a store…OR you’ve taken the opportunity to purchase an ‘iPad 1’ at a significant discount. 

At any event,I thought I would write a quick blog post on my experiences with the iPad. As time went by,using the device,I found more ways to use it,to become untethered from the need to carry a laptop-or to squint to view my emails on my small handheld devices of choice.

I write blogs from my iPad, I use remote connection software to connect to my office environment,I use it with clients,to give listing presentations,word games, create presentations for clients and seminars (while I am ON the way to the seminars no less).

I do not have an external keyboard,I have gone an entire week at a conference just using my iPad to do everything from email,to social media,to taking notes (my typing at this point on it is almost to the speed of typing on a regular keyboard). With my handy wireless hotspot-I can work ANYWHERE,and do it routinely !

Here are some blog posts about how I use my iPad (many of my posts are written on it-including this one !)
