Real Estate Could Get Boost from Technology

I have been looking at becoming involved in the real estate business. Not so much going around listing and selling homes, but becoming a Internet and technology specialist for some of the local Realtors.

When we went to sell my husband Michael's home last year, I was amazed at how few of the area Realtors could be located online. I was also amazed that nothing had changed since the last time I purchased a home, 18+ years ago. Everything still has to be done by hand, including the forms.

Hardly any of the local Realtors are taking advantage of the technology available, like virtual tours, 360-degree views, hot spots for information on appliances and amenities, digital photographs that show what people want to see.

I am going to contact a GMAC real estate agent first, as GMAC is the sponsor of this post. I will take it from there.
