"Real Estate Confronts the Future!"

In his most recent interview on Real Estate CyberSpace Radio Swanepoel discusses the future and how Real Estate and the Internet will be affected.

Swanepoel's Look into the Future:

1. The effect of the Internet will be magnified by the fact that upcoming  generations will grow up being comfortable with the Internet and are expected to spend a quarter to a third of their time online.

2. The impact of the Internet will be astounding, changing the way people communicate, socialize and do business; the NEED to move great distances will be eliminated because of cyberspace connections.

3. The Internet will also have profound impact on how real estate is practiced; many of the traditional services will lessen in importance or become obsolete as Internet automation takes over.

4. However, agents will continue to add value through irreplaceable skills, such as interpreting and sharing information and negotiating.
