Ask Jay and MonikaTech Training Website and Blogs

Are you curious about  tech training.  Are you an agent or small business with tech issues?  If so this is the place for you.  As the small business environment continues to change we need to add tools that we can use and feel comfortable with.  We believe that most people are not really tech challenged, they just haven’t been taught or exposed to the tools and skill sets needed.

Jay and I will be sharing articles and videos that we’ve have written or produced as well as  linking to articles that other trainers have written, many will be real estate training related but we believe the tools and tips that we share, can and should be applied to any business.
Looking for someone to help build a website or blog from single property sites to full blog sites with reasonable rates then contact Jay at 603-548-7685

If you have training needs that you don’t see referenced, just call us, we can help you.    We’re always open for  suggestions and comments so please don’t be shy.

Where am I?

September 8, 2014 by

I have been missing in action!  I know, you’ve really missed me!

But in case you really have missed me I thought I’d give you a quick update on what’s been happening in my life.

I ended up taking a position with BHHS Verani Realty where everyday I get to do what I love- sharing and training.  While this position keeps me busy, I still teach for NHAR, The Vermont Association and some local boards.

If you are a real estate agent and need some NH CEU credits send me an e-mail and I will let you know where and what I am teaching.

If you’d like to keep up with me on NH Real Estate Blog simply follow this link >>>  http://NHrealtyscoops.com

I plan on updating this site but not everyday!

Ipad Apps for Real Estate

May 15, 2012 by

ipad appsUpdated (2012)Apps for Real Estate

I’ve had an ipad for a little over 2 years now and upgraded to the ipad 2 when it came out.  Mainly because I do a lot of teaching and wanted to be able to project my Key Note presentations and my entire ipad screen using a projector. The first ipad does not allow that but the ipad 2 and 3 does.  My husband Jay inherited my original ipad and he loves it.

I originally wrote a post about my Favorite apps for REALTORS shortly after I got my ipad 1 and thought I’d dust it off and update it here.

I use my iPad for real estate and for keeping in touch via social media. I find it easy to use and very easy to travel with.  I’m continuously searching for apps that I can use, enjoy and utilize for my business and I must admit that Drop Box and Evernote are my top two favorites… I don’t think I can live with out them!  I also use Dragon Dictation and love the voice recognition and how easy it is to talk into it and have my message transcribed and sent to where ever I want…it’s great for the blogger or to do Twitter status updates too.

I also love taking pictures  and shooting video so I LOVE using the Camera+ app as my camera app of choice for photos, love the features it has! I also do a lot of video and use iMovie11 for all my video editing on my ipad.  I would also suggest the following photo related apps:

1.  ProHDR  (love this for still shots)

2. Intsagram (photo social media sharing site)

3. PS Express (photo shop express)


For reading and keeping up with my favorite news sites I use Flipboard and totally love it but other people also recommend Zite. My husband Jay prefers Zite so be sure to check them both out.

I have iAnnotate PDF and so far like it very much. For some sites like YouTube, Facebook and our state wide MLS system I  just use the web version by bookmarking them in Safari.  There are always new apps coming out and it can be very addictive and costly cruising the the App Store!

The list below is my updated list and I would not remove any of them!

My Top Apps for REALTORS

All of these apps are located in my “productivity folder” and are pretty well used all the time.

1. Dropbox This app is my absolute favorite. I can share things like documents, pictures and even videos and have them accessible on my laptop, desktop, smartphone as you can install DropBox on multiple devices and you can share folders with friends or your office. I have a share folder with NHAR and with my husband Jay plus some family members too. I love Dropbox and it’s free… you can sign up here if you’d like and I get extra free space if you do >>> get your DropBox

2.DocsToGo This app is a must for those of us who use Microsoft office. You can add your PDF files, Powerpoint, Excel, and Word documents and better yet it allows you to edit or work on those documents while on the iPad. At a recent board meeting I dropped all my electronic meeting info into my dropbox and shared them via DocTtoGo and was able to take notes on the documents and make changes. I’m sure I saved a few tress using it! Love DocsToGo and this is one app that I opted to pay for the premium version which was 15.00

3. Evernote This app claims to help you remember everything and it does. Evernote is pretty cool, you can copy and clip things that you find interesting on a note or you can dictate a note. I have Evernote on my Droid and Laptop too so that I can always have access to those notes. You can tag your notes and use key words so that you have an easy system for locating and filing all those notes. I’m using the free version but there is a premium version too with more options. Check out Evernote.

4. KeyNote This is Apple’s version of Power Point but with more bells and whistles and is much easier to use. Using this app I can create awesome listing presentations or any type of presentation or slide show. I love how slick it looks and how easy it is to create a professional looking presentation and of course how impressive it is! This app costs 9.99 at the itunes store… Get it- it’s worth every penny!

5. Pages This app creates awesome fliers, newsletters, listing sheets or any type of documents you might need. It’s a cool publishing app that works well with Keynote when putting together a listing presentation. This app costs 9.99 at the itunes store.

6. Dragon Dictation This app is fun and free and maybe I can do without it but every now and then you might just not want to write out a note or tweet or facebook status update… with this app I just speak into the mic on my ipad and it types out what I am saying and then I just select where I want to send the not to and it’s all done. Dragon Dictation is pretty cool.

7. WordPress This app is a must for any Blogger using the wordpress platform as it will allow you to blog, pretty well maintain your blog and work in the dashboard all from your iPad. You can find The WordPress app at the itunes store.

8. HomeSnap  I love this app when out in the field and want info about a home.

9. Openhouse pro  If you do open houses then this is a MUST GET app!

10. Ibook  This app is an Apple app and makes saving and e-mailing attachments out of my ipad a breeze but it offers much more than a place to download and save attachments!

NH MLS- NNEREN ~ Northern New England Real Estate Network app-less

If you are a New Hampshire REALTOR please note that our MLS, NNEREN does not as of yet have a cool app but I have created an MLS folder on the home screen of my iPad where I have book marked the NNEREN log in site and added the Zillow, Realtor.com & ZipRealty apps.

I’d love it if you’d let me know what your favorite iPad apps are…by sharing we all get better!

Happy New Year

May Training 2012

April 25, 2012 by

Monika McGillicuddyWednesday, May 9th at the Clubhouse at Woodland Pond, 3024 Countryside Boulevard,  in Manchester, NH.

Ethics Class is full-  9:00AM  – 12:15 PM :  NAR Code of Ethics- Quadrennial (all REALTORS have this by the end of 2012)

This is a fast moving, highly engaging class with case studies that focus on actual NH Ethical dilemmas! (ETHICS Class is FULL)

12:15PM – 1:00 PM:  LUNCH!  Yes, feeding you as always, at the Model at Highland Homes, courtesy of Market Street Settlement Group

1:00PM – 4:15PM:  Agency in the Trenches

Take the gloves off and let’s play nice in the sandbox starting with understanding your agency choices and obligations you have to the consumer and to each either. 1:15 -4:30 –  3 hour NH CE credits

Respectfully, these two courses cannot be free at this time, but they are BOTH yours for only $30.00.  Much less than the price you typically pay for one.  If you take either course alone, the fee will be $20.00…modest no matter how you look at it and well worth the investment.
