Requirement: Research findings show that 60 percent of home
buyers are using the Internet to get home buying information and by 2005, that
number will be as high as 80 percent.* Why are homebuyers turning to the
Internet before talking to their local Realtors? Therefore using real estate
software makes a whole lot of sense.

How does a real estate website benefit the customer?
-
Internet technologies make searching easier. Database technologies have enabled
brokers, agents and third-parties to distribute and display more information
about listings, loans, and other home buying information than ever possible
before.
-
To make a competitive bid on a home, get the right loan at the right rate, and
appear somewhat knowledgeable before making such an investment, many buyers
feel that they have to start the information gathering process far ahead of
talking to a Realtor. Therefore Realtors who have a website have a competitive
edge.
-
Where else can buyers take a virtual tour of a home's interior, view loan
products and calculators to buy the home, find neighborhood and ask questions
of the listing agent all at the same place? This is something akin to the
personalized service they receive from a real estate agent.
-
Adding to the appeal of the Internet is its 24-hour service, enabling these
buyers to do their homework at their own pace. They can search for homes after
the children go to bed, or at work using the boss' high-speed Internet access.
Having a real estate website can help you capture this
market.
