Real Estate Training | Agent Reboot | "Warm Boot or Cold Boot"

Real estate Modesto agent got an email regarding a real estate training program called Agent Reboot by Inman News from Zillow Academy.

It's about technology for real estate agents: mobile real estate tools, WordPress real estate blog, optimizing Facebook for real estate business, video, lifestyle branding, real estate buyers and sellers, and the iPad for real estate listing presentations, etc.


Now that iPad has a new version with cameras, Modesto real estate agent will be visiting the Modesto Apple store to obtain the latest and greatest iPad for real estate applications...




At the same time, I'm having this "geek moment" regarding this "Agent Reboot", is it a warm boot or cold boot?

Warm boot (soft boot), in computer terms, is hitting the Control-Alt-Delete key combination on the PC, so the computer will restart under software control and has time to write the cache to permanent storage.

Cold boot (hard boot), in computer terms, is to hit the Power switch, abruptly turning off the computer, without shutting it down and thus causing the lost of data (possibly).

Modesto real estate agent's "warm boot" :  "clear the schedule, take a real estate training class / real estate continue education, to get up to speed on real estate technology, to renew the real estate license, etc".

Meanwhile, the real estate market in Central Valley, CA is still going thru the reboot process, with all the short sale real estate, bank owned real estate, and auction real estate...

Chateau Provence Homes in Modesto

There are two Modesto homes in Chateau Provence gated community that are available.
One on Lourmarin Lane and one on Avignon Lane. Below is a map from MLS.

I've previewed the Modesto homes. Both do not have pool. There is a smaller (2238 sq ft.) one-story home on Lourmarin Ln and a larger two-story home (2726 sq. ft.) on Avignon Lane. One of the homes need to install landscape in the back yard. Both were built in 2003

Both are asking at around $125-%128 per sq. ft. Previously, the listed homes which were short sale were asking at around $110 per sq. ft.

I contacted the listing agent on another home which already had an accepted offer and I might be able to view that home on Savoie Way as well, either as a comparison or might even be a back-up offer.

It is a good idea to show all the homes at the same time. I wonder if the agent/owner of the property on Touraine Parc would be interested in letting us view the home (active short sale contingent on the bank accepting the offer) as well. My broker and I contacted the listing agent on the Touraine Parc Ln home before but we didn't get a return call. At that time, my client was desparate to look at that home and call it her 'dream' home.
