Here’s a take away
from NAR’s Managing Director of Data
Analytics Todd Carpenter at the NAR Annual Conference in New Orleans this
past weekend. Todd said:
“Realtors® should educate themselves about big data and be
knowledgeable of how it’s being collected through mobile devices,” said
Carpenter. “Buyers will increasingly use their smartphone during the search
process – often times before first talking to an agent. Realtors® who adapt and
embrace big data will add considerable value to their relationship with clients.” Learn more here
