That’s until now when life-simpling giant Google released their latest version of Google Calendar for Mobile.

Another great feature of Google Calendar is that it is not mobile supported for a variety of PDA’s and phones (including Blackberry) that are internet enabled.  This allows you to:

  1. Activate reminders on your phone via a wireless sync (no cables, no nothing)
  2. Update event information from your phone while you’re on-the-go
  3. Allow your administrator to change your calendar while you’re out
  4. Sync your Google Calendar with your Microsoft Outlook Calendar
  5. Have full access to your schedule without paying the money to upgrade to exchange

Use this for showings, personal life, kids’ soccer games, etc…  you can share the calendar with anyone that has a Gmail Account.  After setting up your account and calendar online (by visiting the Google Calendar Site) there are even ways to have it sync to your PDA’s default calendaring program!

About

Matthew Dollinger I would like to consider myself a real estate martyr, but I think that's a little drastic.


How I would like to position myself in the industry is somewhat of a "conduit" between agents/brokers and those continually innovating tomorrow's real estate model. I believe that Real Estate needs to ditch the mentality that it's "more than a business" and truly look to innovative companies, (regardless of industry), and learn from them. It's how we will grow and succeed in this marketplace.


I am constantly looking for new partners that share a passion for learning, innovating and implementing ideas. If you have a thought, idea, or would like to share, simply reach out to me.
