A Clear Choice for Realtors
September 30, 2009
Technology has been rapidly advancing, especially in the real estate industry. Virtual tours a few years ago were the pinnacle of marketing in the industry. Now, high definition videos are rapidly becoming the standard. Consumers are also less patient than they were a few years ago. They want access to information immediately as well as instant access to their agent.
A relatively new company could be the Realtor’s new best friend. Clearwire is an up and comer in the high speed broadband market actively competing against cable providers. Granted many Realtors already have full access to their email via a Blackberry or similar device so why should Clearwire interest them?
Clearwire is the first company to offer true mobile high speed internet access in several major cities and the list is growing. The company is already located in several major markets like Las Vegas
and Atlanta with plans to expand into 16 major cities within a year. With their mobile device and a laptop, agents can access the MLS from virtually anywhere instead of having to stop at a “hot spot” and hope for a clear connection. Add a mobile printer and there is no reason why any agent will need to stop at the office again.
Some companies have offered similar services in the past, but the speeds were much slower and the cost higher. The company also offers some bundled deals that include a home service at a higher speed and regular telephone service.
