What's Available?
The major developments have been in IDX/MLS technologies, mapping/satellite technologies, video/picture advances and general communication systems.
Other advances which have changed the industry are Cellular Phone and GPS  technology but we will cover those in another article.

IDX/MLS
The MLS or Multiple Listing Service has long been the key to business as a Realtor. The Multiple Listing Service is a database of homes listed for sale in a particular region. Property details, pictures, documents, and confidential remarks are attached to a listing. MLS systems have long been available via the internet to home buyers but they were seldom used. the early technology was clunky and often out of date.
Today's MLS systems are clean fast and easy to navigate. Combining this with an IDX system has allowed agents and brokers to distribute MLS content directly to home buyers. IDX stand for Internet Data Exchange. IDX is a system that lets real estate brokers show MLS information about for-sale homes on their websites.

Mapping/Satellite Technology
There is no doubt that mapping and satellite technologies have evolved rapidly with the advent of the Internet. For the Real Estate professionals these advances have been a great time saver. Simply sending their client a link via Google maps can provide a wealth of information about the property. The maps provide a geographic picture showing highway access, schools, parks, hospitals and more. The satellite photos allow the client to see actual aerial shots and street level virtual tours. They can look at the neighbors houses and general street scene.

These advances has change the nature of a career as a Realtor. Today Realtors must keep up on new technology and adapt it to their industry. website programming and SEO or search engine optimizing are two critical components to a Realtor Success on the Internet. These services can be expensive so many Realtors are forced to become experts themselves.  RealEstateCentralCoast.com delivers listings and a high level of details to the client letting the buyer shop and compare without pressure.
