Technology is Changing the Face of Real Estate


Submitted by: Ruben Cortez, Realtor - Churchill Office

Almost every day there is a new and exciting method to the madness of buying or selling Real Estate. Gone are the days when the Realtor had all the information on a property and the customer was at the mercy of the Realtor and owner of the property. With the click of a mouse, the consumer can find out as much or more information as any Realtor. Consumers demand it and they have the ability to make choices as never before. Try it! www.bradfieldproperties.com! On this site you will find out information about any property in San Antonio and the surrounding area that is listed in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Once, only Realtors had access to this information, but because of Technology, almost anyone can access this system in some fashion. There are many other systems out there to help you find information, moving to another city? Try www.realtor.com. Not always as up-to-date as direct access to MLS but better than most systems. With all the Technology today, you can buy a home over the Internet without ever seeing the actual property! Crazy? Ten years ago, who would have ever thought of buying anything under the sun on E-Bay? Crazy like a fox! Next time. Some dangers of the new and improved Technology.
