The real estate industry has struggled in the past five years, with a nasty recession and housing bubble threatening the industry. But new surveys show real estate workers are some of the most satisfied in the country—and the new technologies paving the way for their success means success for anyone looking to rent, buy, or sell real estate.
Whereas gaps once existed in industry technology, the cloud is now changing the way we rent, buy, and sell real estate. More specifically, two types of tech are becoming increasingly important.
The first? Mobile tools
Mobile devices like smartphones, tablets, and other new technologies help agents to access information at anytime, anywhere. Because real estate agents are constantly on the road, these tools help to drive sales faster. Consumers are also using mobile tools to search for new homes at increasing rates.
Another important type of tech changing the game are tools for collaboration and sharing information quickly, like enterprise software. This technology leads to faster, cleaner transactions between real estate agent and buyer.
