Are you aware of the advanced marketing trends of the new technology age of Real Estate?  As a member of the Baby Boomer Generation (1943-1964) I have lived a life of change. We are after all the generation that started it all! Boomers are associated with expressing individual freedom, the civil rights movement, gay rights, handicapped rights, right to privacy and the important feminist cause of the 1970's.  I don't call that slacking and I don't call it out of the loop.  Those movements taught us how change was good, how it could improve our lives and how it would lead to great things. 

If I was one year younger I could be considered a member of Generation X.  Generation X (1960-1979) is the most tech friendly of all the generations so far.  This generation has driven the majority of the Internet's growth.  Google, Yahoo, MySpace, Youtube and other tech companies were all founded by people who belong to Generation X. 

Finally, we come to Generation Y.  Generation Y (1981-1995) or sometimes called the "Net Generation" is the first generation to grow up fully surrounded by a total digital and Internet driven world.  They are the ones that keep us on our toes when it comes to all the latest tricks and trends.

As a Real Estate Professional it is imperative to keep abreast of all the latest marketing and sales trends.  There are over 15 different free websites just to market a listing on.  There are several networking sites to reach out to other Real Estate Professionals to help make a relocation transaction less stressful. 

Do you know what these companies do? Are you aware how much information is out there when it comes to buying or selling real estate?  You want to make sure you have an agent that knows this information like I do. 

Zillow -  provides free real estate information including homes for sale, comparable homes, historical sales, home valuation tools and more. ...

Trulia -Use Trulia to find real estate, homes for sale, recently sold properties, local school information and much more. Trulia is a free unbiased real estate...

ActiveRain-ActiveRain real estate network allows real estate agents, mortgage professionals and brokers create a customized profile. ...

 

Do you know what a BLOG is?  From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:  A blog (a portmanteauof web log) is a website where entries are commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning tomaintain or add content to a blog.  Click on any of these three pictures to be directed to one of my three different blogs.  When I list your home it will be displayed on all of these sites along with all of the other free flyer sites - Yes, and even CraigsList.  CraigsList flyers seem to show up very quickly on the first page of Google for some awesome exposure.

As a real estate consumer whether you are buying or selling you want to make sure your agent is "tech-no savvy" so be sure to ask some questions about their online presence. Ask about their social networking and see if you can make a connection!

Jo, great post. I think many consumers today don't realize exactly how much technology there is which can work in their favor. You aren't "tech-NO savvy" you are "tech-SO savvy" HA! Sorry, I couldn't resist ;-)

Colleen, you are so right - and of course when I say "tech-no savvy" I do it in that "DEVO" type outfit with that some kind of beat!! hahaha!!!

JO, I would come from that baby boom generation also but I am smack in the middle of it.  My children are Generation Y and part of me becomine web savvy was to keep up with my kids (lol).  It is funny but in a lot of things I have passed them by.

Marchel, My boys are in their mid 20's and I know I have passed them by. They don't even like to text - and if I mention SEO they have no clue. But then they don't work in the type of profession that needs it.
