Everyone has them. Those moments when something strikes you a certain way, alters your perception, changes the outcome.

Take Florida summer rains, for example.  They’re particularly impressive. The sheer heaviness of them. The electrical violence of lightening streaks and thunder booms that stun any new transplant. Dangerous. Dramatic. Run-for-cover rain that makes you pull off the Turnpike, duck off the golf course, head for shore in a small boat. Deluges that turn everything even greener. Refill our water supply. Refuel our ecosystems. And give everyone the chance to hide inside, snuggle up, take time out.

Summer rains in Florida offer a dramatic change of perspective. And if you’re looking for a new home, they make you pause…and consider things like hurricane glass. Lots that won’t flood. Landscaping that’s safe. Not getting soaked financially. Finding a Realtor that won’t leave you high and dry.

Yes, watching a summer storm will send your thoughts racing. And if they happen to run to real estate, turn on your computer and give me a click call. That single action could be a watershed moment that alters more than your perspective.

So there I am, standing in my flip-flops watering the lawn. And my cell phone rings. A convenience we’ve all come to take for granted. And who, pray tell, is on the other end but a prospective client in search of a house in my neighborhood…Valencia at Abacoa. Ordinarily, just another day at the office, another client call.

But this particular call was placed from my website to my phone with one mouse click. This particular client had Googled® me. Visited my site. Found the click phone conveniently placed throughout. And decided to try it out. A moment later we were connecting…on a range of topics from her home requirements to her arrival date in the States.

I’m not quite sure which of us was more shocked. The client at just how well that little gismo works. Or me, at what a convenient tool I’d installed.

Yup. You just gotta love technology.
