I'm going to get as many agents as I can to read this. Thank you! Hunter,

Great eye-opening post for the “older” agents. I’m going to get as many agents as I can to read this.

Thank you!

I agree that many, as you call them not me, 'old timers' are embracing the wave of change. It is important that we do point this out. Wayne,
Thanks for your comment!

I agree that many, as you call them not me, ‘old timers’ are embracing the wave of change. It is important that we do point this out.

All I have to say is, it's a good thing we're not the typical "traditional" agents. While we are both Boomers, my wife and I prefer to be known as members of the "StompernNet" generation. Being associated with Brad Fallon, Andy Jenkins and Don Crowther, among others, has given us a solid foundation and knowledge of all those technologies that Gen Y'ers hold so dear. To wit: We are active on <a href="http://profile.to/theharrimanteam/" rel="nofollow">Facebook</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/theharrimanteam/" rel="nofollow">MySpace</a>, <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/theharrimanteam/" rel="nofollow">LinkedIn</a>, <a href="http://theharrimanteam.myplaxo.com/" rel="nofollow">Plaxo</a>, and a few other social networks as well. We regularly post to <a href="http://www.twitter.com/wharriman/" rel="nofollow">Twitter</a> using Twhirl, TwitterFox or Alert Thingy, depending on what we have open at the time. We have a <a href="http://www.theharrimanteam.com/" rel="nofollow">web site</a> and a <a href="http://wallingfordwired.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">blog</a> that we post to as often as we can when we're not busy selling houses. Our listings are syndicated to many different web sites: ZIllow, Trulia, Oodle, Craig's List, BackPage, Vast, Kijiji, Google Base, LiveDeal and of course, Realtor.com, to name a few, as well as posted in our blog and sent out through TwitterFeed and posted in the Facebook Marketplace and CribFinder. We are happy to say that not only do we serve many of our contemporaries, we are also proud to be able to serve their children as well. Several of our transactions this year have involved Gen Y'ers and X'ers and we expect to do so for years to come. So, while I agree that we "oldtimers" need to embrace the chosen techologies of the next generations, There are some of us who get it, and are already there. Gen Y may be the future, but there's room there for us, too. Thanks again for a great post! Excellent post, Hunter! All I have to say is, it’s a good thing we’re not the typical “traditional” agents.
