Are You Ready for the New Real Estate Industry?
At the push of a button, at the speed of light (well, almost. Actually, estimated to be 30,000 miles), all the information in the world is now available to anyone who has a personal computer and access to the Internet…and that number continues to increase. Industry Standard Magazine reported in its March 2001 issue estimates:
 | Online Population
E-mail Sent Daily:
|
|
Are you ready for your 165 pieces of E-mail a day (on average)…and yes, you want that many and more because every received E-mail from a prospect or client is an opportunity to send them an e-mail in reply, and every piece of E-mail is a marketing piece…free marketing will change the paradigm for those real estate professionals willing to accept the challenge and become truly e-mail proficient.
Everyone that has access to the Internet also has access to everyone else that has access to the Internet. This creates a whole new opportunity and channel of communication for the Real Estate Professional (any professional) seeking to develop stronger relationships with clients…past, present and future. The Internet is, first and foremost, a vehicle for communication.It is the “network of networks”. Real Estate is a business of people, a business of networks. Contact with people creates opportunity and the Internet allows us to reach more people more cost effectively than ever before. Are you reaching your share of the home buying and selling public? Is it possible that with all this information being accessible to everyone, more buyers and sellers will attempt to “do this on their own” with the help of technology and the Internet?
One of the themes depended upon by real estate professionals across the country is the fact that buying and selling a home is an infrequent, emotional event in a person’s life. As a result, so the theme goes, a real estate professional will always be needed, to help fulfill the emotional need and provide support for buyers and sellers. A real estate professional will always be needed, but will the job description and compensation structure of real estate professionals change, requiring additional skill sets. The answer is undoubtedly yes.
