I really like bringing good news to the successful real estate agents with John Hall & Associates – especially when that good news is going to make REALTOR® life just a little bit easier here at John Hall.  Just last month, I got to break the news that office bills are now emailable.  Today more good news, all John Hall & Associates offices will be getting new toys!  Wait, wait, that was a techno-typo, I meant new TOOLS!  Our offices are getting new tools. I get the two of them confused sometimes.  These new tools are not toys, they are printing, scanning, faxing, copying, emailing, powerhouses that will replace the current copy machines.

I don’t feel I need to explain the features that our current machines are capable of.  Wireless printing, high-speed copying, et cetera are things we’ve had for years.  I also don’t think I need to explain how a fax machine works. What I do want to mention about faxing though is that the current options are not going away.  If you are a fan of our full service offices, our friendly live office staff will still be glad to send faxes for you.  And just like it has been, there will be a per page charge to have them assist you.  However, with these new self-serving machines, if you’d like to fax your document yourself, there is no per page charge for assistance.  What this also means is that the staff does not have to be present for you to send a fax.  You can now send as many free faxes as you’d like at any hour of the day.

We’ve been asked several times about when we were going to install scanners in our offices. Consider it done. You don’t even need a computer for this.  You can walk up to these powerhouse machines, scan the documents and have the file sent to an email address – directly from the machine.  The best way I know how to explain this – it’s like sending a fax (but with better quality) to an email address.

Let me share with you the schedule of installation and 2 reasons why you may be affected by this upgrade.

• Paradise Valley Office and Executive Suites – Monday from 12-5

• Scottsdale Office – Tuesday from 12-5

• Tempe Office – Wednesday from 12-5

• Arrowhead Office – Thursday from 12-5

This is may affect you for two reasons.  One, the computer rooms will be closed during installation and two, if you print wirelessly from your laptop, you will need to install a new printer driver for it to work.  Please plan accordingly.

Toni Row and Bill Evans are to be thanked for their hard work in negotiating the replacement of our machines.  They have met with the vendor several times figuring out the best way to bring these features to the offices.  Hopefully the new benefits of being able to fax at all hours of the night and scan documents will help make your REALTOR® world a little bit easier.
