Moving? How Pinterest and Houzz can help.  Honestly, it took me sometimeScreen Shot 2016-05-16 at 2.32.45 PM to really understand the role these applications played in our lives. However, once I got the idea, it was revolutionary. Both Pinterest and Houzz and those like them, offer a unique visual experience. It allows you to tell a story or catalog what you see or desire visually.  Genius!

The ability to convey messages visually is an amazing tool for one moving and relocating. It will help you gather your thoughts about what you want and then convey them to either your realtor, partner, children, family and other professionals helping you. Have an idea of what you are looking for in a home?  Go to Pinterest and Houzz and create storyboards to help you visually explain this Screen Shot 2016-05-16 at 2.32.02 PMto your realtor or partner. This significantly reduces the chance of things getting ‘lost in translation’. Have an idea of how you would like to decorate a room? Create another storyboard. Trying to get the kids’ buy-in on a move? Sit with them and create a storyboard on what they would like to see in their new home.  Both applications allow you to create private story boards so that you have the ability to select who is privy to the information.

If you are a realtor, I would encourage you to create accounts with these applications so that your clients can share with you their visual messages instantly.  It just offers you another tool in your arsenal to better serve your clients.
