Control and Command … Do You Know What They Have in Common?

They can both make your day-to-day work life much easier! Anyone who knows me knows I am a bit of a control freak about a “few” things, but I'm not talking about that kind of control! I'm talking about using keyboard shortcuts— CONTROL on a PC and COMMAND on a Mac. Try all of the shortcuts ,and let me know which is your favorite. 

For the Win

Find

You have a contract open, and you need to check the closing date, or you have a prelim title report up, and you want to find the easements, or you are browsing a webpage and need to search a specific topic….use the shortcuts .

By hitting Ctrl + F (PC) or Command ⌘ + F (Mac) you can —

  1. Find Text in a Document: It opens a search bar in web browsers, word processors, PDFs, and other text-based applications, allowing you to search for specific words or phrases within the document.

  2. Navigate Quickly: By finding specific text, you can quickly jump to different parts of a document or webpage without scrolling manually.

  3. Replace Text: In some applications (like Microsoft Word), using "Ctrl + F" can also open a find and replace dialog, allowing you to replace one word or phrase with another throughout the document.

Undo

Oh my goodness…..you just copied and pasted the wrong language into an addendum, or you changed your mind, and what you previously wrote was better than what you just wrote. Worse, what if you accidentally deleted the paragraph of text that took you 30 minutes to write? No problem!

Use Ctrl + Z (PC) or Command ⌘ + Z (Mac) to —

  1. Undo the Last Action: It reverses the most recent action or command you performed. You can undo typing, deletions, moves, and more.

  2. Multiple Undo: You can often press "Ctrl + Z" repeatedly to undo multiple previous actions, moving backward through your action history step-by-step.

  3. Quickly Correct Errors: This is a quick way to correct mistakes, such as accidental deletions, incorrect data entries, or other unintended actions.

  1. Interest rates are just not coming down anytime soon. Both buyers and sellers need to know this, so let's talk to them about what this means for their current situation. Let's stop saying marry the house, date the rate. There is a solution to almost every problem. Our job is figuring out how to help put all the puzzle pieces together!

  2. Inventory of available homes for sale will likely remain low throughout 2024. This presents a unique opportunity for sellers. With less competition, homes can sell quicker and potentially at higher prices. However, competitive pricing remains crucial. For buyers, patience is key. They might need to wait longer to find the right property or work with agents who are proactive in seeking off-market opportunities. Are you one of those agents?

  3. There are no indications that home values will go down in 2024. Some markets may see a continual increase, and others stabilize but not decline.
