MetroBrokersTV: We are in the lobby of the Palace Hotel here
in San Francisco
at the Inman Real Estate Connect 2008 and I have Christy Martin here and
Christy, welcome.
Christy Martin: Thank you.
MetroBrokersTV: I understand you are with Metro Brokers and
which office do you work out of?
Christy Martin: I am in the Marina Square office. I have been there for over 20 years.
MetroBrokersTV: Twenty years.
Wow. So, you would be considered
old timer here for Inman.
Christy Martin: Oh, probably.
[laughs]. Unfortunately.
MetroBrokersTV: So, how many times have you been to Inman?
Christy Martin: Three times.
MetroBrokersTV: Great.
Well, you are the chair of our marketing committee. Is that correct?
Christy Martin: Yeah, it is correct.
MetroBrokersTV: And what was Brad's (Brad Inman) real take on kind of the
future of not just really real estate, but life in general due to these new
devices?
Christy Martin: Basically, the devices are going to overtake
the real estate community and... I mean he specifically kept referencing the
iPhone, which he kept having to step back and go okay[Phonetic] the cell phone, but
the iPhone really is revolutionary and as far as making my life easier with our
new website, it is a one touch basically function. I mean I can go... you know run that showing[phonetic]
properties and stuff like that that the... you know, if someone comes in and is
like, "Oh, what about that house?" and it is like, it's suddenly you
know two touches on my iPhone and I am there.
MetroBrokersTV: You are kind of experiencing some of the
things Brad is really talking about where each person becomes their own knowledge
base of information without having to go anywhere.
Christy Martin: Absolutely.
Absolutely. I mean without having
to go back to your office, go back online, you know, going to MLS or whatever,
I mean basically within seconds I can pull up an address, pull up a price
range, and find the information I need to have for my buyers right away.
MetroBrokersTV: Well, I think Metro Brokers did a great job
from the marketing committee and so forth actually introducing this
iPhone interface.
Christy Martin: Absolutely.
MetroBrokersTV: Well, thanks for interviewing and sharing
your thoughts and opinions.
Christy Martin: Thank you.
