Are they using any technology? 

I'm curious to know how long-term experienced agents have adapted their marketing and advertising strategies to reflect this increasingly technological era we are entering.

I don't want to minimize the importance of the photos or videos, as they are extremely important alongside a well written property listing, but the technology you should have available (phone, camera, etc.) should be more than sufficient.

What new technologies do you use for selling and renting something out?

IMO, the leaders of our industry have leveraged technology pretty well to improve customer service.  

Anyone have any ideas they are willing to share as far as automating your real estate business using technology?

Technology is better now and they seem to use legal a little less.

I may have too much on plate right now, just trying to read the instructions for my 8 inch Alpine navigation/mobile media center thing a ma jig, going in my truck, so I'm boggled at the technology while trying to figure this new change out and keep track of plug-ins at my site, well, I was born before 1969 and wasn't hardwired for all this stuff!

Technology makes it extremely easy these days.
