Are you guilty of rejecting real estate technology for these reasons?
Regardless of the industry, technology is helping mold and reshape many sectors for the future. Mobile technology has, in particular, been evolving within the real estate industry and carving many paths for real estate professionals. And while mobile technology has gained the respect and merit it deserves, some professionals are still slightly reluctant to take advantage.
But why?
-
They think it will replace them
While mobile technology is supposed to assist real estate professional and help make doing the job easier, some worry with too much reliance on it, it’ll replace agents. According Inman, “It’s not the only obvious factor that tech often misses. Human allegiance is probably the single greatest reason that businesses who seek to minimize the labor in real estate transactions fail.” In a nutshell, technology will never replace humans’ ability to interact with one another.

New technology is usually complicated and complex. With the multiple things mobile technology can do, it’s a wonder how any figured it out. Luckily though, the internet makes information easily accessible, so having to learn technology is a snap.
