Phones: The New Frontier

So in retrospect, the last 15 years has brought a lot of technology to the forefront to help real estate agents do their jobs faster and better. These technologies have been partially responsible for helping usher a new age of growth in the industry. The internet has become the home base for sites like MLS and Zoocasa to exist and has made real estate a worldwide affair. High power faxing has made signing deals easier and a quicker affair.

One of the biggest changes though in technology has been cell phones and their growth and use in the industry.

From Blackberry’s to iphones, this new technology has helped agents build their network and keep linked while working on the run. Another newfangled idea is the fact you can now get listings on your phone by texting. This superb new feature really helps agents (and buyers and sellers alike) since prospective buyers can easily view the houses.

What is the next step in phone technology? What will science broach next? What should be tackled? Only time will tell!
