Hello Everyone,
I just wanted to touch on a trend that has been happening and yet people haven't realized the real impact of it yet. It's the fact that in our society most trends like the cell phone, email, and netflix, are all a result of our fast paced lives that cause us to seek better and more efficient ways to do things. How does this affect Real Estate?
The ability to predict trends and watch their impact on the world is very powerful. In Real Estate I remember when virtual tours first came out. They were a novelty for a small group of agents, now they are the norm. The fact is people don't have the time to get loaded up with the kids and waste time and gas to look at only a few properties only to find out that it smells like cat urine, the carpets are damaged, the rooms are too small, or the roof is falling apart.
People can go online and view homes along with information right from their home computer sipping on a latte. The days of wasting time are over. This is better for the Realtors and for the Home shoppers because by the time they want to go see a home, they know more about it and will view less homes but homes they are more likely to buy.
This is where good Home Shopping Tools come in and websites with rich data and virtual tours. Home Buyers are demanding it and if you don't offer it you will be left driving around looking for clients instead of showing homes. We use a Home Search Suite that lets our clients get all the information and pictures, maps, payment calculators, and a password to log in so they aren't bothered by a bunch of agents trying to solicit them. It's called the Home Scouting site. Click the link below to see a demo or visit our Spokane Real Estate Website for more info.

Yeah I have seen this. Yet there are some goods to open houses, the fact is how efficient are they. The internet is a controlled environment that works on your schedule. Tought to beat.
Good thought Rick, I believe also that we need to be well rounded in the webmospher along with the old fashoin showings. Thanks for the info.
Yes change is coming and you can be ahead of it or behind it. Virtual tours make sense.
