Virtually every industry is making changes to reach customers with social media as competition increases. Real Estate technology tools are critical for realtors and agents in any capacity; residential and commercial, not only to build relationships with prospective customers, but to maintain those relationships.
International buyers are now a lucrative segment of the U.S. Real Estate market. If you want to target these clients, check out the latest statistics compiled by the National Association of Realtors for 2013.
One of a Realtor’s most common awkward moments presents itself when, while showing a house, the clients point to the house with the for-sale sign across the street and ask, “How about that one?” While the Realtor may not be prepared, she can turn to the RedFin mobile app, which allows users to quickly pull up homes that are active or pending within a 1-mile radius of where they are standing.
Clients of million dollar listings can often afford expensive upgrades. Overly specialized amenities can pose serious challenges for a Real Estate agent. Not everyone wants a regulation-size NBA basketball court. Few buyers require an in-home aesthetician room for facials and waxing. Slides, climbing walls and skating ramps instead of stairs shrink the potential market even further.
Remember the days when a pager was the “must-have” technology for real estate agents? Clients could reach you at the drop of a hat with a simple buzz. That is, after you tracked down the nearest phone, checked the number and called your client back. A decade ago, when the National Association of Realtors surveyed members about their use of technology, smartphones weren't even listed as a choice. Now, smartphones, GPS and other technology are standard in the industry.
They’ve been used by the military for years, but when online retailer Amazon went public recently with its plans to use drones for quick-turnaround deliveries, the country learned that the aircraft — remote-controlled helicopters equipped with high-resolution cameras, image stabilization, GPS and more — are already being used commercially in the Real Estate industry.
This week Google announced it's acquisition of Nest, a service that allows residents to remotely control anything from the thermostat, to blinds, lights and security. While the onset of so-called "smart homes" was inevitable, the Google purchase will undoubtedly speed up the process by which these properties are sold by Real Estate agents and Realtors.
The latest Real Estate news should bring a collective sigh of relief to agents and Realtors throughout the United States. After the past few years of stabilization in market across the U.S., experts predict that 2014 may be the year the overall industry may turn the corner. But, the market does continue to face significant challenges, including rising home prices and tight lending standards.
It's no secret that buyers and sellers prefer the summer for their activities. Better weather and longer daylight hours means more opportunities for open houses and viewing homes. However, people still buy homes in the winter. Maybe they got a new job. Maybe they want to leave their neighborhood. Or maybe it's because they saw your listing, staged in the snow. These tips for selling more real estate in the winter can improve your Realtors' or agents' transactions during the colder months.
