I just saw the latest figures on home searching on the internet. 93% of consumers start their Minneapolis home searches on the internet. For anyone one that has been around before the internet era, this is an amazing statistic and explains why the print media (StarTribune, etc.) are in a world of hurt. In this age of cyberspace, old dogs have to learn new tricks. It would appears an internet presence is part of a package of a successful marketing program for real estate agents today.

More and more folks are using the net. I am closing two loans this week where I never have spoke with the borrower. The entire transaction has been handled via. email.

It's pretty ridiculous as to how important the net is. Embrace it or use it!

Even if you look back 5 years. The internet is the only way to go. I myself have not spent any money in paper media for the last 2 years.
