Just wanted to give you a quick update on the diverging worlds of real estate and technology. I realize that most real estate agents are not very tech-savvy and that’s a huge benefit for my clients when either buying or selling their Smyrna Vinings homes, condos or townhomes.

To think that 92% of home buyers between the ages of 25-45 use the Internet during their home search, you can’t argue that technology has not had a huge and beneficial impact on the real estate market for the consumer.

Yesterday, I attended a conference, REtech South, with some of the top real estate technology folks in the country. It was a truly amazing event and I would like to thank Brad Nix for putting this together. Bravo.

Brad managed to bring some top talent in so that we could all share ideas, learn about products coming down the pipeline and get insight into some of the best practices being used around the country.

I personally learned some great stuff from the likes of Jonathan Washburn and Bob Stewart from ActiveRain, Mary McKnight from RSS Pieces, Rudy Bachraty from Trulia, Kevin Boer from 3Oceansrealestate.com, Pat Kitano from Transparent RE.com, Dustin Luther from 4realz.net and Jason Benesch from Real Estate Tomato. A lot of these folks are real pioneers and leaders in the world of technology and real estate convergence.

The ultimate goal is to be able to bring more functionality and better information to you, the consumer. We’re certainly hoping to provide some great new products and functionality to you in the near future that will be very beneficial to you.

But probably the most interesting perspective I took away from the conference, was that out of 40,000 some real estate agents in metro Atlanta, only a little over a hundred agents attended this inaugural event. Either the others are busy applying for another job or fail to understand how radically technology has changed the real estate market in just the past couple years and how much more impact it will have as we move forward.

Education and training is of critical importance to real estate professionals and quite literally, this was the conference to attend. But don’t fret, they’re already planning REtech South for 2009, which should be huge.

Well, we recently covered the basis of the advanced Smyrna Vinings Home Search in our last class Home Search 201. We’ve dubbed this class, Home Search 202.

In this class, we’ll cover some of the really cool functionality available to you, which is all accessible under under Search for Homes on the top menu bar, then select Home/Condo Search. We’ve covered the basics in Home Search 201, but here comes the fun stuff.

If you’d like to be more specific or perhaps less constrained by searching by the city, you have the capability with the Additional Settings section. You can choose select any of the following items to fine-tune your search:

• Area of Metro Atlanta
• Name of Subdivision
• Name of Condo/Townhome Complex
• Elementary School
• Middle School
• High School
• Style

You can also make some other selections to narrow your search, including:

• Minimum Year Built

and certain other requirements you’re looking for in your next home, including:

• Pool
• Fireplace
• Foreclosure
• Dock
• Garage
• One Story
• Waterfront

Now, obviously docks and waterfront selections will probably eliminate 99.99% of all Smyrna Vinings homes, but keep in mind that you can use this for any of your metro Atlanta home searches.

Finally, you can also limit your search by using mapcodes.

Now, before you go back and click on Submit, make sure you click on “Narrow my Search with City, Zip, Sub Area…“. Then click on Submit and and review your results.

And if you review your notes from Home Search 201, you’ll remember that we emphasized the importance of registering for the Property Organizer, which will allow you to save your searches, save your favorite Smyrna Vinings homes and receive instant email notification when a new property meeting your criteria hits the market.

And remember, if you ever have any questions on the Smyrna Vinings home search tools or on any Smyrna Vinings homes, condos or townhomes, don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re here to help you with your Smyrna Vinings real estate needs.
