1. What has driven the recent growth in the real estate business?
Advances in technology have greatly impacted growth in the real estate business. Buyers and sellers of today are searching on the Internet before contacting a Realtor for assistance. Also, staying in touch with customers and the ability to provide immediate information via smart phones, e-mail, texts, etc. has made it easier and quicker to do business.
2. How have your marketing efforts changed over the past 3 years in your business?
Good old-fashioned marketing in local papers and face-to-face contact is still valuable. However, today's market requires reaching a larger customer base via use of the Internet. Buyers and sellers may not physically reside in the community in which a property is located and therefore rely on the Internet for initial information.
