Real Estate Professionals and Technology?

Real Estate and Technology (you would think) go hand in hand. Especially with an ever increasing demand for instant information 24/7. Yet, despite the rapid acceptance and implementation of technology in all other industries, I have found the vast majority of American Real Estate professionals are using only the bare minimums. Telephone, Email, Fax and internet to search local MLS (Multiple Listing Service).

These technologies are the basics of any business, however a well developed implementation of these technologies into a comprehensive work flow is virtually nonexistent in a majority of real estate firms.

Sure almost everyone uses computers; but do they use them well and to their full potential? For example email. Everyone uses it, most only as a basic answer reply delivery system; But what about wanted automated notifications of important or relevant information?…

I will explore these and other topics related to real estate and technology within this blog and how they tie into various products and services. From tips and advice, I hope to shed some light and answer questions that many real estate professionals may have. Whether it be which phones are best to what the hot topic in real estate is to what should I have on my website.
