4 Ways in which Tech Should be used in Real Estate

You may not think “real estate” when you think about today’s technology, but several advances are responsible for the lives of home-buyers, home sellers, and agents much easier – not forgetting adding comfort with added security measures.Staying on top with all the new tech is something that is vital in the success of selling or buying your new home.

4 Ways in which Tech Should be used in Real Estate

Here are a few.

1. Drones
Fitting a tiny camera onto a helicopter drone lets agents capture aerial pictures of homes, properties and neighborhoods to feature in sales listings. Drones will also be useful for looking at things such as roof damage without having a ladder. The Federal Aviation Administration loosened its guidelines on commercial uses for drones in June, making it easier for more agents to adopt the technology.

2. Digital signature platforms
Years ago, an agent could spend hours driving back and forth to collect seller and buyer signatures on forms. Today, they can toss their pens and manage everything from the office – or wherever they may be – thanks to digital signing platforms. The government passed laws which make electronic signatures as valid as physical signatures. Platforms like DocuSign let agents securely send documents for clients to authorize using a simple click on a computer – or a phone.

3. Electronic lock-boxes
Smart lock-boxes on homes have several features that makes showing a home more secure. These new boxes allow smart phones to operate as keys, meaning they also can track who enters and leaves the property. Some boxes can even be programmed to host real-time details about the home as well as the neighborhood which visitors have access to using their smart phones.

4. Wireless video monitors
Security cams help agents (and homeowners) keep watch over vacant properties without having to physically stop by to check on things. Cameras can provide exterior and interior views, allowing agents and homeowners to observe anything from maintenance issues, like whether leaves or mail deliveries are piling up on the porch, to basic security, like seeing if somebody is parked outside.
