IS SOCIAL MEDIA A SINKHOLE FOR REALTORS? OF COURSE IT IS...

 

Can I get an 'Amen'??

I just read yet another featured post on Active Rain questioning if social media was a sinkhole for most Realtors...

Of course it is! 

This is such a tiring debate.  

Social media IS a "sinkhole" for most Realtors. 

But so are:

Most things we try don't work.  At first.  That is why 70% of agents quit in the first year...

I have hosted many open houses with little or no visitors...

But I still host open houses...

Real estate sales is hard.  Social media is hard too.

Is social media a sinkhole for most Realtors?  Of course it is...

But it is still my most valuable tool.

You Can Prove Anything With Math...Anything.

You can use math to prove just about any argument.  And disprove any argument as well.

I saw this in a demonstration on symbolic logic when I was in college...and I thought I would share it with you as it has stuck in my head all these many years...



MATHEMATICAL PROOF THAT GIRLS ARE EVIL!!

We all know that given enough time and enough money, any man can get a woman.  So, having said that...it can be said that girls are the product of time and money.  In other words:

Girls = Time X Money

And we all know that "time is money" right?  So, it can also be said that:

 Time = Money

Now, if we substitute money for time, we can say that:

 Girls = Money X Money

Or.......

 Girls = (Money) to the 2nd power

We also know that "money is the root of all evil".  So, knowing that, it can be said that money is the square root of evil.  So, we get:

 Money = square root (Evil)

If we substitute that new meaning in for money, it can be said:

 Girls = (square root (Evil)) to the 2nd power

As we all know, any time you square something that has a square root, those two properties cancel each other out.  So, applying that cancellation, you end up like this:

 Girls = Evil

Therefore, it must be accepted that all girls are evil!
