I go to my favorite Social Networks everyday. Every hour. I can’t stop. Follow my Twitter. Become my Facebook friend. Like me! This is the world we now live in. We are all stars in each other lives via sites “like” Facebook, Twitter, and many others. We comment to impress and love to know we are heard. You love/hate these things, and so do we. You find the ever changing rules of communication maddening and so do we. You wish you had more time to do it (and more will power to quit it) and so do we.

Disagree? Why is it that real life lately is called “being offline”? Why is it that being online seems like the only real thing going? What the f**k happened to using the phone!? This was the inspiration for making Status Kill. Denton Sparks, our “hero”, is supposed to be working, but is doing what we all do when faced with work — we chat with our friends. Unfortunately Denton’s job as a professional assassin doesn’t lend itself to aimless banter (we know it’s not ALL aimless) as by being online sometimes in the middle of a firefight can lead to a quick demise, but he simply can’t help it! Denton, in all his killer perfection, has become the ultimate addict to “TweetFacester”, the world’s biggest social network, and his online life has become the center of his “offline” albeit somewhat more dangerous day job.

Status Kill is slated to be an ongoing series that will chat about all the things that we should be conscious of such as: contextual advertising, privacy, the meaning of online relationships in our REAL lives, The cost of constant intermittent communication which never actually tells us anything, sharing a profile with a grandparent, niece, and hot chick/dude you are trying to hook up with. Etc. Etc Etc. It’s all VERY confusing and Denton, the extreme version of us real world addicts, will stumble through it all while on the world’s most dangerous missions.

Denton Sparks: Soldier or online addict?
But to do so, we need your support. We understand the hypocrisy of “discussing” all that’s right and wrong about the new way of communicating by asking you all to become our fans and to follow us around the web on our silly misadventures. The truth is, we truly love our online lives, but, like everyone else, feel a bit confused and rightfully worried about where it all may go and how it is changing who we are. So, we invite you all to join us on this journey to try to figure it all out and we appreciate any and all support you give us along the way. So what are you waiting for! “Like” us on facebook, Subscribe to us on youtube, Follow us on twitter. We promise we wil love you as much as your other online friends do! Oh — Status Kill is brought to you by Jesse “Jeskid” Cowell. He created the feature film’s/series’ “Shades of Gray” and “Drawn by Pain” and won awards and stuff. He will tell you more later — he has to update his status.

Don’t let the job of finding a real estate agent depress you from hiring one. Realtors are set, keen and able to lend a hand. They have the information you will necessitate about preparing, pricing, listing, advertising, showing, and selling your property. Many offices will have multiple agents to choose from.

Agents that advertise are no doubt triumphant. Most agents are contractors and spend their own money to uphold themselves. There are many different realtors to choose from, but where do you look for their advertising? The Internet, newspapers, referrals, or simply walking into any real estate office will work. Let’s examine how each one of these ways can be highly effective.

Internet

Chance are if you have access to the Internet, that will be the first place you look to find a realtor of your choice. This is probably the easiest way to find a realtor. There are several websites you can visit, such as Realtor.com. You might prefer a specific real estate agency. All you have to do is visit one of these websites and you will be taken step-by-step on how to find the realtor for you.

Some agents even have their own websites. These sites can great sources for information about financing, buying and selling, trends, and real estate news. Often the websites are now linked with multiple listing services and you can browse properties for sale in your area.

Referrals

If someone you know worked with a particular realtor in the past and has nothing but immense things to say about the experience, you should consider that referral. If that person was pleased with the service the realtor provided, there is a good chance you will be too. Referrals can come from anyone you know such as a friend, family member, or business associate. Another great source for a referral is neighbors. A real estate agent that has worked in your neighborhood will already be familiar with comparable sales, codes, and maybe even buyers. You can even check out real estate agents with listings in your area.

Newspapers or Magazines

Many times you might come across a realtor’s ad in newspaper or magazine. Depending on how the ad stands out, this might attract you to call that particular agent. If you see an agent is aggressively advertising and selling properties you might want to jump aboard their program.

Realtors want new business and are eager to help you. That is the reason why the realtor’s ad is in the newspaper or magazine in the first place. Knowing this information will motivate you to consider choosing a realtor with this method.

Walk-in

Real estate offices in your area are waiting for you to walk in. If you happen see a real estate office, don’t vacillate to drop by. Talking to a realtor face-to-face can be highly effective. You can tell much about a person on the first meeting. Ask them for references and any information you need to choose an agent.

So what are you waiting for? Get going!
