The forward thinking Realtors are learning to get ahead with smart phones and access on the go. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) reports that the markets and real estate are finally starting to pick up. Actually 28% of Realtors were using them in 2007, in 2008 that figure jumped to 42%.
Buyers today expect Realtors to be as wired and connected as they are. Smart phones are not a luxury, they are essential. Did you realize that 80% of home searches being online. This typically generates some sort of notification to the Realtor, who in turn replies via smart phone. Today's buyer expects a response in 30 minutes or they move on to someone who is more responsive to their needs.
Most users are now seeking and asking about more mobile applications to make their job easier. At the NAR Conference recently, those surveyed said they would like to receive information on real estate productivity, MLS information, information suitable for consumers and mortgage applications.
My blackberry tour gave me the ability to stay on the road yet still be connected, "it's empowering".
