How Online Collaboration is Changing the Face of Real Estate

For real estate professionals tired of the glut of emails, printouts, and post-its amassing on their desks from multitudinous clients regarding this home or that property, real estate tools allowing for online collaboration offer hope of cutting the clutter, both real and digital.

A group effort

Enabling easier and instant communication between buyers and sellers in addition to friends and family members, online collaboration is changing the face of real estate as we know it. All individuals involved in shopping for a home can now contemplate various choices far more quickly and easily, coming together to get right to the heart of the matter: selecting the perfect property.

Joining forces

Like social media, online collaboration involving real estate utilizes apps in conjunction with traditional websites, which link to feature photos and home information. Buyers can invite or share with friends, family members, and their fellow agents, allowing chosen members access to favorites lists, posting and sharing of comments on photos, videos, and features, and more.
