Like it or not, the Texting Revolution has begun! I have had to increase my Text messaging plan because so many clients are now communicating through text messaging. I ask clients now, What’s the best way to communicate with you: email, cell, or texting? Over and over, and more and more I hear; Text Me.
Text or Die: Six Things You Need to Know About the Next Generation of First Time Buyers by Janet Guilbault is a great post for individuals in our industry to read. Best Texting ideas of ‘07 by Chris Brubaker shows that several companies are rushing to assist agent to help clients get what they need the way they need it.
What does all this mean? It’s all about communicating with the clients and we need to get with the program!
I wanted to give you a little bit of Texting Lingo to help you understand, and save the tips of your fingers.
