I recently switched from one real estate brokerage to another. when I got here I noticed that the computer speed was syrup like, did a speed test and we running along at 0.85 and the office I came from (which is almost right across the street) was at 20. so, I told the powers that be that the connection speeds SUCKED! they asked what they could do, and I said give me permission and I'll get it upgraded, so that was the first project. when that was done they asked if I had any other input. I said, well, while we're at it, this phone system is a dinosaur and there are no longer replacement parts for it. so they said ok, source that out. so I had a guy come in with a bid for 15k. that didn't go over real well, so they asked me if I could find a used system. I found one that I have installed probably hundreds of back in the day for a little over 4k, and just spent the last three days installing it. this is a three story building, 28 desks. boy am I pooped! now I get to go back to pretending like I'm a realtor! (it sure was phone to be a tool user again!)
