I wanted to take a minute to talk about the use of email and text messaging in real estate. The world has continued to become as mobile as possible, and with that, we see a decrease in use of actual phone calls between Realtors and their clients. Obviously, that means more email and texting in the real estate transaction.
To save time, my clients are using texting and email to handle transaction details rather quickly. It’s not uncommon to not actually speak much over the phone with your Realtor or with third-party providers, because we’re busy sending texts and emails to make things happen more efficiently.
The benefits of texting and emailing are of course that they make things quicker and more efficient, and quite honestly, it gives everyone a “paper trail” so to speak about transaction details. If you’ve forgotten something that would have otherwise been said on a phone call, you can go back through your text message or email string and see the conversation, along with the time stamps of those details.
Phone calls are more personal and can sometimes avoid confusion, but the trade-off of having a record of the exact conversations in a text or email string outweighs the benefits for many. With more and more buyers in Omaha real estate and real estate across the country moving into the mobile world, please don’t expect that it’s going to end anytime soon! Get to know your real estate expert beforehand, so when you get to the point of relying more on texting or emailing, you feel comfortable with the communications.
Until next time! If you have any questions about real estate in Omaha, please feel free to give me a call or shoot me a text or email. Have a great day.
