It's no surprise that technological advances have changed our world and the way we live. Although, over the last 20 years technology has disrupted a great deal of business and even entire sectors of the economy, including real estate. Due to these changes, we now have the MLS which is a website that hosts all of the current real estate listings from all over the United States and makes them viewable to every realtor in the US. Prior to the MLS website, listings were kept on an offline ledger and word of mouth was the way to learn about new listings. Currently, there are new tools, tips, tricks, and hacks that are coming out in regards to the real estate sector that people should be paying attention to.
