So I guess this is an odd observation, bittersweet dichotomy (of sorts) or just the fact that I have been looking at inventory in real estate for too long. But here it is...
....tonight I was playing around on Match.com and it suddenly struck me how building a profile on one of these dating sites is much like the data entry I do each time I add a new listing to Realtor.com or otherwise. All the vitals are needed, photos are required (or at the very least, suggested), and there is a certain "spin" required to induce more interest. And I really do believe most people "stage" their listing before hitting the "submit" button!
And now, about the leads I get. This is where it differs, in real estate you want to aggressively pursue each inquiry. My friends...this is NOT the case on these social dating sites or whatever they are dubbed. I can pick and choose and decline. This...I LOVE!
But still, my jury is out on "dating" virtually. Do I want to feel like inventory on a website? Nah...I don't think so. Short of an MLS# that is about all that is missing.
Just sayin'...
And here are my listing photos, both staged...and unstaged.
