Sign into your accountTop 4 Real Estate Technologies Straight From Science Fiction
October 23 2014
Times, they are a changin'—new and emerging technologies are changing the way agents and brokers do business, taking the entire industry into exciting and uncharted territory. Here's some of our favorite future tech we can't wait to get our hands on.
Virtual Reality:
VR has existed in some form since the early 80s, but we are finally reaching a point where the technology has the interest of the general public and big business. This seems impractical, but virtual reality devices could very well be the next massive thing. Earlier this year, social media titan Facebook purchased the leading company in VR technology, Oculus Rift for around $2 billion.
It's use for real estate brokers is already in the pipeline. Imagine potential homebuyers and clients that can walk though all of your listings in the comfort of their own homes. No longer will agents and brokers be limited to their geographical area; out-of-state buyers can get an entire housing tour from thousands of miles away.
If VR becomes mainstream, it could change the way agents show homes. Could the digital space take over the physical? Probably not completely, but it could be a way to get buyers excited or interested in a property.
