There’s no question that the Internet has transformed the real estate industry – or perhaps the
opposite is true. As industry innovators, Realtors® across the country are experimenting with new Web features and ways to provide consumers with valuable real estate information and resources at the click of a mouse, turning Web 2.0 into Real Estate 2.0.
Given the overwhelming amount of information on the Internet, buyers and sellers can now interact much more fully with Realtors® who can help them interpret and analyze all of this data. Some of the new tools cropping up on real estate sites include:
* Blogs
* Podcasts
* Video open houses
* Virtual Tours
* Live chats
* Mash-ups
* Video Links and Widgets
For me personally I find that the more information I can provide through these types of vehicles the better I can communicate my knowledge of the market and hopefully provide today’s tuned in eMarketplace HomeBuyer a place to stay awhile as they read up on market data, do research for homes, and communicate with other Buyers in our marketplace as well as provide them with inform on how to not only buy and sell real estate, but also maintain what they own to maximize future sales dollars.
