The California Association of Realtors released its "2005 Use of Technology Survey" Tuesday during the "Tech Tuesday" opening session of their Centennial Realtor Expo in San Diego. The survey found that 33 percent of realtors' business is coming from the Internet.
While just 33 percent of their business comes from the Internet, 67 percent of realtors reported that the Internet extremely or very important in the marketing and promotion of their business and 61 percent of realtors post listings to their own Web site. Other results of the "2005 Use of Technology Survey" found that 90 percent of realtors have a high-speed Internet connection at home, an increase from 82 percent a year ago and 71 percent in 2003; and 46 percent of realtors use e-mail as their primary form of communication with their client.
