Every year the National Association of REALTORS® distributes the annual Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers at its annual conference.  The profile is a key source of information for real estate agents and brokers who look to adapt their business plans for the new market in the upcoming year.  The profile offers incredible insight on the behavior, tendencies and activity of home buyers and sellers across the nation.  Each year as the profile is published, one thing become increasingly more clear, real estate agents must embrace technology to provide a level of service home buyers and sellers are expecting out of today's real estate agent.

For a long time the real estate agent used to be the #1 informational source for home buyers during the home search process.  According to the 2007 profile, the percentage of home buyers that used real estate agents as an information resource was the same as those who used the internet (84%). Real estate agents are now realizing that having a website to supplement their offering of skills and experience provides the greatest amount of information for home buyers. The result of this trend has real estate agents not only relying on the company website but building their own.  The NAR profile indicates that 65% of agents now have their own web sites.

Today's home buyer is bonded to the internet.  Now more than ever the real estate industry has become heavily dependent on the use of the internet in nearly every phase of the home buying and selling process. Smart real estate agent use the internet.
