Making a Tech Savvy Scottsdale Real Estate Agent the Top Priority

It has long been known that the Scottsdale real estate market is going high-tech. The number of Scottsdale real estate consumers that use the internet at some point in the home buying process is continuously increasing. At a minimum, clients expect their Scottsdale real estate agents to have a website and email.

The problem is that many Scottsdale realtors may not be listening to the clamour of their cutting-edge clients. "Remember this is a profession still largely populated by the generation that came of age before personal computers."

Recent homebuyers have been shocked by how low-tech many Scottsdale real estate agents have remained. Homebuyer Dan Furman claims that he was "stunned" that his first two agents could not answer emails on a timely basis and didn't know how to send a link or attachment. Needless to say, he finally settled on an agent that was more tech-savvy.
