Your Guide to Real Estate Technology in 2015

Over the past several months, we've been publishing weekly guides that focus on a single type of real estate technology. Each article offers an overview of that category, helpful articles, and questions to ask before considering a new purchase.

With a new year on the horizon, now is the time to start setting goals for 2015. For many agents, achieving these goals may require new the help of new tech tools or services. If you are looking to add or upgrade technology products, the first step is to thoroughly research your options. Kick off your research by choosing the type of product you're interested in learning more about from the list below:

• Competitive Market Analysis (CMA)

• Electronic Signatures
• Real Estate Websites

The articles were written in support of our annual Technology Guide. The Tech Guide is a free resource that provides agents, brokers, and MLSs detailed information and points of contact for multiple products. We designed it be a valuable reference during your research process. Use it as your starting point whenever you're considering a new tech purchase!

The guide is available in two formats–as a PDF for download and as a web based flip book. The web version offers extra functionality by giving users the option to create and download a custom version of the guide containing only the products that interest them most.

We encourage you to research your options before making any tech purchase. Think about what features matter to you most in a product, and look into which solutions offer these features. You can use the Technology Guide's custom download feature to create a packet of similar products. Use the packet to compare products and choose the one that best fits your needs.
