Let's Facetime that Listing! Can you see the Live Stream?

I asked this question and a little more detail of RECO. 

We have some significant new entries to the social media application world in the form of SKYPE and FaceTime. Both of these applications allow users to quickly and easily provide Personal Live Streaming (PLS), meaning they can start shooting video and instantly sharing it on social media.  No shooting video and uploading to YouTube/Instagram/Vine, this is an ongoing live stream complete with user interaction.  

When I book a showing do I ask permission to skype the video tour with the listing agents office?

Do I ask about taking pictures of interiors with my iPhone to send to my buyers or for record keeping? 

One source already says;

Advertise the time you will broadcast that OPEN HOUSE

Virtual Open Houses / Teasers

If you’ve already gained a large social following, then you’re ahead of the game. All you have to do is point them towards your Meerkat or Periscope account and let them know that you’ll be hosting a live ‘open house’ tour of a property. Extend this information to any of your listing pages so that whoever is interested can attend.

I respect that with properties ONLINE views could target homes for theft.

But what about the broadcast of other people's listings on my Periscope, Facetime or Skype.

..on Twitter I could post....

I'm going to be showing you around on Saturday!  Drop in!   Can I broadcast the SHOW?

Am I soliciting someone else's client?

RECO received our request for guidance and send this response;

The marketing mediums you have described below will require written permissions and a clear understanding from both Sellers and Listing Brokerages before proceeding. If obtained then the advertising will also require prominent identification of the listing brokerage information within the stream which cannot imply it is your brokerage’s listing. I suggest you review the Registrars Advertising Guidelines and the Social Media Advertising Guide (available at reco.on.ca) to ensure that your own advertising compliance obligations are being met. In addition, there may be Privacy Act implications but RECO does not enforce that legislation.

There are so many rules in place; but none directly address these changing and growing technologies.

How would I brand a FACETIME display of a property walk thru?  What do you think?

Can I live stream this Listing for you as a preview?  Are you open for business or closed....

Add your thoughts....

Is there an APP for that? Problem Solving

Is there an APP for that?   Instant Problem Analysis and Solution Implementation.

So many want an instant answer.   Just plug in the variables and out POPs your solution.

It would be perfect if it worked that way.

But the solutions and variables require skill and experience, understanding the dynamic, implementation,  they need your energy. After all,  It is your life.

• Will you procrastinate? 
• How will you handle negotiating with others?
• Does your personality let you move forward quickly?
• How strong are your problem solving skills?

Financial Analysis has exactly the same restraints.

• How is this investment risky for you, but not for someone else...
• Does this have Tax implications?
• How will your ability to borrow and available credit lines be impacted?
• What is the MOST important criteria in your selection?
• What is the Absolute MUST have?

The insights I provide are from two decades of working with families to solve their housing needs. Not every solution is for everyone.  Now, as we look towards retiring in place; we need more creative solutions and up to date information from Government Programs, Tax Credits and Home Care Assessments.  I'm here to propose solutions.

It would seem that retirement is not cheapER.

I welcome your thoughts and insights.
