Paper-Thin Papertab PC

This first time is a realtor’s dream and the next hottest home selling tool on the market. This PC has Touch Tab capabilities which allow the agent to tap from listing to listing, making it easy to blow up images and listings. You can show the examples to the full screen, which has the same dimensions as a piece of paper. It’s the skinniest product of its kind, and it makes sharing information much more accessible for clients and realtors alike. Another benefit of this remarkable device is its ability to be stacked just like paper on top of each other and its super light-weight. Just picture how impressed your home buyers will be when they see the agent is sure to prepare. That's why he or she is polished and well advanced. Nonetheless, you’ll start to see this technology introduced at the beginning of 2018.

Now onto Wrist Band Computers. These devices transfer data to big screen televisions and computer monitors for quick and easy display. The gadget is a perfect companion for realtors as it keeps track of appointments and meetings. The features are simple to use as they can be tapped or used with voice commands. It also acts like a wallet and stores credit cards, driver’s licenses and insurance and more. Another aspect of this innovation is its use with digital entryways such as your office or front door. The watch-like computer has a brilliant design which looks chic and is still functional. For the snowbirds looking to change the temperature or turn on the lights before your home arrival, the device creates a comfortable environment. We’re not sure what the outcome is with this latest PC, but we’re sure the invention is a solid one.

For those who love the smart home, Ecobee smart thermostats save up to 12% to 23% energy and bills. Things like air conditioning and lighting are at one spot as well as monitoring sent to your mobile or tablet for easy manageability. This household product is also known as Nest, is also WiFi friendly, check to see if rebates are available. The extra money is only right, while supplies last. However, we hear Black Friday will pay a visit to the website for Ecobee and may provide additional savings. Regardless of the cost, the Ecobee is an excellent solution that only takes 30 minutes to install and it’s perfect for estates to luxury condominiums.

Other than the smart home technologies, we dropped by House Beautiful and found for 2018, dual finishes on cabinetry will be the significant trend. Don’t be surprised if you found a country club home that has two different colors and styles. The mix and match interior design are sweeping the nation which ads versatility to a kitchen or any other room. While this may not be technology, it’s innovative. However, the trend got started a few years ago, but it’s gaining popularity by the minute.

Many home sellers today insist on using the latest video production for selling their home or property. 3D video production created by Matterport technology is making its way into brokers’ offices everywhere. This capable camera takes 3D imagery of the interior of a home. Realtors can then offer a Real Estate experience by sharing the listing to a potential buyer with the use of Virtual Reality. Not only is this type of interactive creation magnificent, but it’s also helping to sell a lot of real estate in Boca Raton. We certainly think the Palm Beach County agencies are happy with these contraptions.

Other than the use of 3D and Virtual Reality, when it comes to working around the house, you’ll enjoy augmented reality. This next techie trend is expected to take off exponentially and is quite useful, so there’s no wondering why. The reason why it’s so helpful is its functional features where you can use your iPad or tablet and measure the walls of the room. When out shopping you’ll have exact dimensions from floor to ceiling. How useful is that when buying a beautiful piece of art or measuring for a couch? On the opposite end of the spectrum, when realtors deal with objections from potential clients they can now show instead of telling whether an antique will fit on a wall. In some cases, that could be a deal-breaker. Top-notch real estate agents are always prepared and show proof rather than just nonsense.

These are just a few of the discoveries you can use for either homeowners or realtors. While there’s plenty of excellent ideas, they are still new and may need some time to develop or become advanced. However, when it comes to the real estate agent who knows about and uses ingenuity, technology is just another useful tool. Although an agent who is resourceful is right, an agent who uses technology to strengthen relationships with his clients is even better.
