How can that flat panel TV over the mantel make you a rockstar?

Written by Justin Waskow

Bono, Al Gore, and Steve Jobs all have something in common. They know the power of audio visual. Have you ever given a listing presentation or held an open house in a home with a giant flat panel TV over the mantel? That piece of entertainment magic leads a secret life as a computer monitor. With a simple VGA cable you can connect your lap top to most models of flat panel tvs. At your next open house you can give the visitors a multimedia experience by plugging in and turning on. Display photos of the house, neighborhood tours, comparable sales, market statistics or just bring up your favorite real estate search engine. You can turn your next listing presentation into a dynamic presentation with PowerPoint, comparable properties in real time, photos of past listings, the sky is the limit. How would you like to be the agent that has to present their CMA after that?

As with any presentation always have a Plan B incase you can’t connect or something doesn’t work as planned. Practice your presentation and bring print material as a back up. Don’t forget pop corn for the kids!
