Are You Leveraging Technology
Fisk & Nagle | 22nd March, 2012
Before the internet and smartphones in Cooma, all we had to help us with house hunting was newspapers, real estate agents and word of mouth communication. Now that we have all this technology readily available, are we using it effectively?
According to the new survey by real estate portal realestateview.com.au (www.realestateview.com.au), nearly 50% of house hunters still use pen and paper to organise and manage their house-hunting process, and 10% admitted they look at newspapers, walk around suburbs and rely on real estate agents’ help.
There were over 2000 people included in the survey and the results were interesting. I seriously doubt that 50% of these people were not busy and therefore could afford to waste some time on inefficient house hunting. The real reason must be in the mindset, and how quickly people can adapt to the new tools available.
