In particular, I was refering to this book where he claims that technology will soon allow people to live forever.

Not pushy and leverage technology to give excellent service from a distance. 

Many of these super-lister agents are older, and may not be awesome with technology.

Would love your feedback on how you are using technology to work smarter and not harder?

By the numbers, I couldn't make sense of it and I tried (I really tried because I think it is cool and I love technology).

Pick your market, do your research, find lender(s), then start connecting with professionals in the industry for whichever area you decide.Being overseas – find a team that is utilizing the right kind of technology for you to be able to remotely track the progress of your investment – you won’t want someone who is new to this industry because you’ll need experienced professionals, when you can’t be there yourself, to be ready to handle the unexpected when it comes to flipping.Regardless of you waiting or taking the plunge now – there are a lot of pieces you’ll need to line up before you start investing.

she is too lazy to learn technology, only uses a fax, not email, we emailed the counter to her on Th or FRI as we had verbalized to her, she calls this morning wondering where it is, the other agent was almost as bad, his agent, a contract attorney, countered with a 1/4/10 date and asked him to present on 1/4/10 (which was dumb considering it was a multiple counter- his agent was smart enough to get it over to us immediately, but in violation of his client's instructions, but smart to try to get the scored touch down), so then the attorney tells him to fix it, the guy is brain dead, so I have to tell him what to do... got to love them.

@Kevin ReidI paid a technology fee and other standard fees.  

Interesting.I wonder what technology they are using. 

The terms usually undercut the realtor pretty severely while simultaneously charging the buyer 2-5% of the bid price plus a "technology fee" and some other crap.
