RISMEDIA, May 11, 2010--"Technology is a crucial component toward any real estate agent’s success, especially in today’s market,” says Carlina Boji, broker/owner, RE/MAX Classic in Farmington Hills, Michigan. As technology continues to dominate the real estate landscape, it is maintaining its position as the pathway to an agent’s sphere of influence as well as prospective buyers and sellers as the industry is no longer dealing with a local client. “While an increasing number of agents are experiencing working with clients who are spread across the world, it is important to stay on top of the technology trends as they are the quickest and easiest way to reach out to clients,” adds Boji. 

As new technologies continue to change the way in which agents communicate with their clients, it is important that agents take the time to understand these new technologies in order to successfully communicate with their clients. “The technology that is available to our consumers today has dramatically changed the way in which our customers prefer to be communicated with,” says Boji. “Email communication has taken over that of direct mail and the Internet has become the new go-to place when prospective buyers are seeking homes. With the changing technology landscape, agents have to be willing to change along with it in order to connect with customers through the means in which they wish to be contacted.” 

Since technology is continually changing the way in which agents interact with their customers, keeping up with the latest technology trends—whether that be social networking or texting, only serves as a greater benefit. “With all of the technology that is available to agents today, having devices such as a Blackberry is a great tool to help keep up with your customers in a timely manner. In addition, being knowledgeable about your own personal website as well as your company’s is important in providing your customers with the information they are seeking.”

Technology allows agents to remain consistent with their marketing materials as well. “Any correspondence that you send to your clients should contain your contact information as well as your Web address and how to find you on the social networking sites you belong to.” All of your technology must be consistent so that your message is clear and deliverable. Having the technology in your office is the first step to creating a consistent message that can be delivered in a timely manner. “In order to keep consistency across the board, you have to make sure all of your technology is turned on and you know how to use it so that at the end of the day, it benefits you and your company.”
