Online Transaction Coordination gets you further ahead than multitasking

Everyone is so busy these days. There are never enough hours in the day to accomplish everything one wants to accomplish. That’s why we’re all multitasking like crazy. Are you one of those people who can update your Facebook page while you print off listing sheets for a house tour, negotiate a sale and shop for shoes on ebay all while conducting a conversation with your mother?

The thing about  multitasking is that people think they’re getting further ahead by doing a whole bunch of stuff all at the same time but that, of course, is a myth. If you were to take your time and focus on each individual task you’d actually get more accomplished and you’d likely do a better job of it all.

Then there’s the risk of being seen as someone who is never present (nobody wants to be the agent who doesn’t concentrate on his/her clients) and only half listening in all of your dealings with people.

Real estate professionals are often guilty of trying to do a million things at once because of the sheer volume of details they must keep track of at any given time and just by the nature of the fast pace of the industry.

We’re aiming to help agents free up more precious (and valuable) time by keeping all transaction details in one easily accessible place. If you’re an agent using Track my File, anyone would be able to log in to the system and tell you exactly what the status is for each of your transactions. No more flipping through folders and shuffling through a stack of papers to find this amendment or that agreement. It’s all in one place.

The agents who use our system report having several hours freed up each month. Never mind the mental space that’s decluttered, not having to keep mental tabs on where everything stands with each deal you have on the go. Others users  are able to finally hand over the transaction side of the business completely to a capable assistant because everything can be handled virtually.

Are you guilty of multitasking in your real estate business?
