In the last few years, the use of technology on the internet as a tool to share information has impacted many industries. Generally speaking, we are transitioning from "hard copy" consumers to "digitally astute" media consumers. The days of reading the newspaper to obtain information is coming to a close.
The real estate industry in the United States has been impacted by this trend to the extent that buyers and sellers can review properties from the privacy of their own homes, without the need to conduct the "house hunting" execercise of the past. Now, home buyer can narrow searches on the internet by entering parameters that can select home size, geographic areas, tax rates and much more.
Today's technically savvy consumer can view photo galleries online, conduct virtual tours of listings and obtain informational breakdowns related to apexes of a specific property. This process in the past could take days or weeks and now had been reduced to a few strokes of the keyboard.
This development has given buyers and sellers a sense of empowerment. It allows buyers and seller to cross reference "like" properties to determine home values as well as identifying good deals in the market. It allows consumers to conduct research on their own before ever picking up the phone to speak with a broker.
As a result, this is causing agents and brokers to adapt to the information highway and participate in new technologies. Agents and brokers are now faced with the reality of having to produce real time information that can be disseminated to end users in a virtual world and available via mobile devices.
