This week's tour was created by Jason Smith in Silverthorne, CO. Jason has managed to get some really excellent panoramas but then you have to take into account the magnificent scenery he has to work with. Jason said that he uses a Canon PowerShot S230 camera and for outside usually leaves it on automatic focus and white balance. He also mentioned that when he takes several pictures during the early evening hours he uses the manual settings for better lighting effects.

"You don't have to change that much for it to make a great deal of difference. A few simple disciplines can have a major impact on how your life works out in the next 90 days, let alone in the next 12 months or the next 3 years."

- Jim Rohn, Speaker and Author

We all know that technology can make us money, save us money and (perhaps most importantly) save us time. Many agents, however, haven't quite gotten around to using technology tools, including our web sites, to the fullest. If that's you, and if what you need is a little help and direction with regards to using today's technology, perhaps a personal tech coach is the answer.

One of the nation's top real estate technology speakers, Allen F. Hainge, recently instituted a personal telephone-coaching program that we've heard really works. Allen, founder of the CyberStars®, a group of top agents who dominate their markets using today's technology, offers a Personal Telephone Tech Coaching service that has already been the answer for a lot of folks. One of his clients, Cindy Oyen of Coldwell Banker GKR & Associates, Sioux Falls, SD, praises the results she got from working with Allen:

"Our coaching session yesterday was incredible. If anything, I should keep your coaching sessions a big secret, but I did give another agent your website and highly recommended it to her. It was extremely helpful getting a prospective on my web site, and the new ideas you have given me for uses of my digital camera are unbelievable!"

We've seen Allen's ideas at his seminars around the country, and we know he helps the agents he works with dramatically increase their business. If you think his service might be the answer to your needs, learn more about his program at www.CyberStarsNetwork.com. If you live in his area of Northern Virginia, Allen also offers in-person coaching at your computer. Details may be found at www.AFHSeminars.com/pce .
