The 2008 CRT Technology Survey is here and ready to be taken by REALTORS®. Take the survey, and pass it on to other REALTORS® if you wish. It will remain open through July 15, 2008. One lucky respondent will be selected to win an iPod Touch.
This survey is typically sent out earlier in the year, but due to being one staff-member short during 1st quarter 2008, we’re trying to catch up now. The survey report will be available later this year at www.realtors.org/crt. I’ll make sure to alert everyone once the report is available. Stay tuned!
My embarrassing blunder….Just as I got ready to celebrate the deployment of this survey - It was brought to my attention that my U.S. state list was incomplete. (BLUSH!)
Dear REALTOR® friends in Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia, Please accept my apology for the oversight. Fortunately, LimeSurvey - the survey tool CRT uses - allowed me to go in and add these missing states. (Whew! And, thanks to the person who made us aware of this unintentional omission.)
CRT looks forward to learning about your technology usage & needs. If you have a few minutes, take the survey and let your voice be heard!
If you are attending the upcoming NAR Midyear Meetings & Expo, stop by the Omni Shoreham’s Empire Room on Thursday, May 15 at 3pm. As we seek to foster & strengthen relationships with the consumer, this session will provide a sneak peek into just how important wide-area, high-speed wireless networks will become in real estate transactions.
Add it to your calendar and Stop by. Mark Lesswing, of NAR will join
J. Lennox Scott of John L. Scott Real Estate and Errol Samuelson of REALTOR.com®, among others to talk about Understanding Real Estate in Real Time.
How would you respond to real estate professionals that ask, “What’s social media? What does it have to do with real estate? Why would I or my clients care about creating a social network?”
The Center for REALTOR® Technology is hosting an education session during the REALTORS® Annual Conference & Expo in Orlando, FL. The goal is to cultivate awareness and explore social networking & any related tools that you’ve found useful.
Share your experiences with professionals that may know very little about social networking. Tell ‘em all about being “tweeted.” It’s not as bad as it sounds, is it? If face-to-face networking will never go out of style, what do social on-line networks have to offer? How do you get started on social networks? Are there pitfalls? How do you avoid them? What about social sites that rate REALTORS®? Yep, they are out there!
For those that are already immersed in the world of social networking, how do you take it to the next level? Dare we talk about ROI & business/brand implications? How can social networks foster & grow the REALTOR®-Consumer relationship? Where do sites like LinkedIn, MySpace, etc. come in? How to address difficult situations on social networks? Really, where is social networking going?
How about keeping sane while staying connected. Are there tools that can minimize chaos while allowing you to keep pulse on all your RSS feeds, blogs, etc.? Are they del.icio.us? Others? How do you use them? Are they worth the investment? Do these tools interact with my smartphone, laptop, website, etc? How? Show them how it’s done.
