Realtors view technology as increasingly valuable for business, competition
As technology continues to
transform and modernize the
real estate industry, Realtors,
members of the National Association
of Realtors, are focused on
adapting to and remaining at the forefront
of this change. Last month, NAR
kicked-off the inaugural Innovation,
Opportunity & Investment Summit in
San Francisco, where Realtors joined
real estate technology companies and
the investment community to discuss
evolutions in real estate technology
and strategies for Realtors to keep up
with these trends.
“During the iOi Summit, Realtors
collaborated with leading technology
firms to identify Realtor-friendly technology
tools and resources. The summit
is a part of an ongoing process of creating
a dynamic, competitive real estate
market that will help NAR advance
our members-first mission for years to
come,” said NAR CEO Bob Goldberg.
Following the iOi Summit, NAR
developed a survey focused on Realtors
day-to-day use of technology and
analyzed ways technology continues
to change how Realtors and real
estate businesses operate. According
to the 2018 REALTOR Technology
Survey, Realtors have spent countless
hours and millions of dollars advancing
real estate technologies and keeping
up with the latest trends in order
to further their business.
“The iOi Summit and the Realtor
Technology Survey are both initiatives
that help us better understand Realtors
use of technology, embrace change
and identify the business technology
tools of the future. Both are part
of my vision as CEO, advocating for
technologies that are Realtor-centric
and ensure a competitive market for
consumers throughout the real estate
transaction,” said Goldberg.
According to the survey, Realtors
continue to find the most value in
current technology tools that increase
efficiency and enhance remote work
capabilities. The three most valuable
technology tools Realtors used in
their businesses, excluding email and
cell phones, were local MLS websites/
apps (64 percent), lockbox/smart
key devices (39 percent), and social
media platforms (28 percent).
As the real estate market becomes
more dynamic and competitive with advances
like smart technology, Realtors
are becoming more familiar with smart
home and Internet connected devices.
Realtors always stay in touch with
the latest trends buyers want in their
homes. The survey found that Realtors
are most familiar with security
devices (19 percent), home-connected
wearable devices (12 percent), and
home comfort devices (12 percent).
While the majority of agents are
satisfied with the technology tools
provided by their broker, they do
want some additional tools. When
asked what additional technology
tools Realtors would like to see their
broker provide in the future, respondents
most wanted to see predictive
analytics (36 percent), CRM tools (35
percent), and transaction management
software (25 percent).
According to the survey, 41 percent
of Realtors were somewhat satisfied
with MLS-provided technology
and nearly 29 percent were extremely
satisfied with their MLS’s technology
offerings. Only two percent of
respondents do not use any of the
technology tools or services that their
MLS offers.
The tech tools that have given
respondents or their agents the highest
number of quality business leads in the
last year were social media (47 percent),
their MLS site (32 percent), their
brokerage’s website (29 percent), and
listing aggregator sites (29 percent).
The 2018 Realtor Technology
Survey was based on data collected in
March 2018. The survey was e-mailed
to NAR members, including Realtor
brokers, managers and agents, and
generated 2,525 usable responses.
