In summary we have 4,900,000 real estate professionals, who are no longer asking, what technology to use, andwhen/if to use it. CRE Professionals are asking, how do I use technology and how do the relationships between my technology help my businesses.
The answer is simple, each technology brings benefits to the industry, but the combination of technologies, brings a more complete tool to create the most benefit on behalf of the end user; investor, developer, broker, lender, owner, service professionals. Knowledge is power, the more we have the more value we bring to our clients.
