Adapt or Die: 4 New Technologies Real Estate Agents Need To Know

Four innovative technologies are changing the real estate landscape, yet many in the real estate industry are still several years behind. To celebrate the one year anniversary of his real estate marketing blog, active agent Michael LaPeter has put together for speedy summaries to help agents adapt and thrive in a rapidly evolving real estate market.

San Francisco (PRWEB) July 13, 2009 — Too many real estate agents still using websites and technologies from five years ago, making the entire real estate profession look outdated in the process. For one blogger, enough is enough.

To celebrate the one year anniversary of Virtual Tours / single property websites for each of your listings, complete with a custom domain name (ex. www. 690marketst .com ).

"Before your next listing presentation, go to Bold Tours, a leading virtual tour provider, and create a free virtual tour for listing presentations. They’ve made it easy, and if you’ve got your info about the house ready it can be done in ten minutes or less. Put in some stock photos, and show your seller right from your laptop during the presentation.

When you win the listing, publish your with a click for only $29 flat, including your custom domain and hosting for a year. No pain, all gain."

Twitter

Twitter is not only the newest technology, it’s also the most confusing for real estate agents. Twitter is basically a way to broadcast texts to several people at the same time, to answer the question: what are you doing? Already, some buyers are starting their home search by visiting twitter and searching for local real estate messages.

"It’s as easy as Facebook: just go to twitter.com, create an account, and it will walk you through the steps to add your friends. Then just try to send out one "tweet" (the Twitter term for messages) a day for a week. If you decide it’s not for you, that’s fine – the whole point is you need to at least be aware of what your competitors and customers are using."
