Internet competition

The 2006 REALTOR® Technology Survey by the NAR reported increased spending and activity on the Internet by REALTORS®.

The survey showed 30 percent of agents spent $2,000 or more annually on technology. More so, 16 percent of agents and 28 percent of brokers spend more than $1,000 annually on their websites. In 2002, only 31 percent of REALTORS® said they had a personal real estate website - that number is now 71 percent.

If you currently have a website, then you are undoubtedly already feeling the increased competition for visitor attention. If you don't yet have a website, then you need to quickly get a website and begin its promotion on the Internet.
