Upgrade your phone system, computers or other equipment and technology.

Being a volume real estate brokerage and investment company, we have found that the best technology has helped us keep our entire staff in the loop, and the transactions are closed much faster.

I love technology, but for this I get in my car, drive around the area and call all "for rent" signs I see,

I don't do GADGETS.Companies are always trying to get brokers and agents to buy into the latest do-dads making them think it will make them rich or greatly increase business etc.I keep things basic and transact deals and rinse and repeat.The more complex you make things the more money goes out to other people and the less comes back to you.A new agent goes to the NAR convention and gets all excited about technology and buys a bunch of stuff with the little funds they have to start.

This technology, like others, won't be perfect.

The engines are very savvy to spam sites going after major keywords and they have plenty of technology in place to slap someone around.

I don't want to take your time with my picture of RE changing in front of our eyes due to technology (and social wisdom) but I wonder if I could ask what YOU think on the subject?

At one point in my day job we acquired some technology from a company based there and hired two of their employees.

After a couple of trips to Office Max to buy ink to print yet another offer, I realized that in my first deal ( I am looking for my second one now) the Realtor was really in tune with technology.

At the same time, these guys have setup significant infrastructure for maintaining these properties (not just maintenance-wise but what looks to be significant technology investments), will they just dismantle those?
