Okay, so if you know anything about me, you know that I consider myself to be a pretty innovative real estate agent. For example, I market my listings with my Reel-Tours (video tours of homes for sale with voice over and background music), I maintain this blog (not many agents are doing this yet), my website is my baby (and has been recognized nationally for its style and creativity), and even my business card is a little different than most business cards (it is a bi-fold card rather than just the normal flat 2-dimensional card). Lately, I have been tossing around the idea of setting up a WebCam in my office.
What is a WebCam? Basically, it is a WEBsite CAMera. Right now on the internet, WebCams are used for a variety of uses. For example, there are WebCams set up at beaches across the country, and you can actually watch people walking up and down the shoreline, sunbathing, swimming in the ocean, lotioning up, or whatever else they may be doing. There are WebCams set up under bridges over highways so you can login to your local news website and watch the rush hour traffic coming home or going to work. And WebCams are set up for numerous other reasons. It's almost addictive, even though you aren't watching anything too exciting.
As I mentioned, I have been thinking about starting a WebCam from my office at Keller Williams Greater Columbus Realty. This would allow you to log in to my website, click on my WebCam link, and just watch the view inside my office. You may get to see me there, writing up a contract, negotiating an offer on the phone, scheduling showings, checking my emails, or maybe you'll just seen an empty desk if I am out of the office. Exciting stuff? No, not by any means. But wouldn't you check it out? I know I would. It's like a reality show about myself and my real estate career (the only difference is that there would be no sound and it probably wouldn't be streaming video unless it became a big success that I needed to enhance).
Send me an email or post a comment to this blog post to tell me what you think of this idea. It probably won't get started for at least a month or two, if I even do it at all. But in the meantime, I would love to hear your thoughts on this. What would you like to see? Would you watch?
Talk about must see TV.
