If you compare the statistics by NAR on the technology habits of Real Estate Industry professionals vs. 1st time homebuyers..keep in mind..the stats are very different.
Think about the average age of a real estate industry professional (Generation Baby Boomers) vs. the 1st time homebuyer (Generation Y) ..again their is big differences. In habits...in generations..and in the methods in which we all choose to communicate.
And web 2.0 isn't going anywhere! As a matter of fact..just like everything else..it seems to change..and many are struggling to keep up with the changes.
As I talk to real estate professionals I find that some say many of the same things..."I can't keep up"..."I don't understand this"..."and maybe my time in real estate is near the end!" Yes I heard it all!
Wait a minute and hold tight...something profound I got out of sitting in a E-PRO class a couple of years ago...and its stuck in my mind and it might help you the really busy real estate industry professional....who can't seem to grasp Web 2.0 or you just can't and won't be bothered because they lack the time!
Remember 1 thing...100% of the college students are online today!
Wouldn't it be great to get them to work...to pay back their student loans? After all they are the next wave of buyers and sellers!
