Amazing Changes in Real Estate

After recently returning from the Inman conference, I am overwelmed. In 1989 I started selling real estate and all you needed was a large book with all the properties and coins for the pay phone. Not in todays market. Now we travel with smart phones, laptops, we continue going to school to get our designations, we continue to go to conferences to learn the latest in technology. For today's real estate agent we are required to blog, twitter, learn everything about everything. It appears that when the tech market slowed, many tech people believed they could conquer the real estate market.

The new real estate agent is very savvy. They keep up with everything. Today the consumer can pick up their cell phone and go to various websites and view the home of their dreams. They can learn about their agent and watch their virtual tours and videos, along with pictures of homes. With so many sites the world of print is quickly fading.

The biggest problem I face is with all the technology, what does the client want me to concentrate on, what do they want me to know?

I want to be the very best, but if I am constantly blogging and twittering etc, how do I have time to meet the client need...
