When I used to write for a real estate magazine four years ago, these social networking sites hadn't really caught on, and some agents/realtors didn't even use e-mail. I'd have to write articles about the usefulness of the Blackberry or other PDA devices. But now it seems that more and more, an agent's business can't thrive without these tools and the Internet. Today, it's all about convenience, and it's way more convenient to do everything online than to do the whole song and dance face to face. It'll be interesting to see how business is done 10 years from now...

Now they're connecting with an agent online and building a relationship, then using that agent to buy or sell. I've had one closing that I can attribute directly to Trulia Voices, and another client I'm working with currently. Both were middle aged women with children in college. The parents are embracing technology today just as much as the kids!
