Drones are part of my marketing and have been for a good while. Truly I think we need less technology and more heart. We have plenty of technology, so much is not worth a damn.

We've been using a Drone long before one needed to be licensed....now we pay our photographer for aerial photos....
I agree with Candice A. Donofrio there's more than enough technology to choose from.... some of it is junk.... we need more face to face; people to people marketing...not everyone is online.... listings come from offline marketing....and we're fortunate that so many depend on online marketing.... I'll pay the money and continue with offline.... we get new listings every week....

My biggest need is being able to mark TEXT MESSAGES as unread like we can emails. I will check texts at stop lights and then what I read gets covered up with new texts.
Know of any such animal?

On the whole, we have more than enough technology. Our clients want a personal touch. There is more technology out there than most of us can absorb or become proficient at. And it will be a cold day in hell before an Alexa is spying on me in my house or office!

I think we have too much technology as it is... and most of it (like Aug Reality) is just too gimmicky.

I can't wait for self-driving cars. How about a droid that can show homes when I am on vacation? Even better, how about an AI bot that can invest my money and make me rich while I nap.

When people go to one of the online portals to get a value on their home, I'd like to see a pop-up come up that says: "A computer algorithm cannot give you an accurate value on your home. Call a local expert."

Such data is worth paying for.
I once sat in on a meeting and the broker stated, "I have $25,000 to spend on anything you agents want. I'm open to take your suggestions."
Office copier, coffee maker....all really stupid stuff without a eye to growing business or positioning for the future. If you are intending on selling something to veteran real estate agents you should be advised they only pay for these things: a way to do it easier, a way to do it faster, a way to do it cheaper, and way to do it better. In that list is not LEARN SOMETHING NEW.
So, John, knowing nothing about you I don't know if you are collecting innovative stuff to include as your ideas in a pitch you are about to make to someone else or if you work for a marketing company or even you may be the technology developer for Zdevil or KW! Gasp!!!!
Is your intent to make agents more comfortable on cross new horizons?
Are you seeking to integrate into the process of the old-timers or equip the new agent to tilt the axis?
More data needed regarding your question.
I suggest understanding that what agents need is a value added way to generate more quality leads, not coddling the clients already on board or working with other agents. Don't over look the phrase VALUE ADDED.

Annette, you've figured me out. I am looking for ideas for real estate software that are new or innovative yes. I am not associated with any big company, and do work freelance.
I know about 5 real estate agents, all with different experience (owner/broker, or works for Long and Foster etc) and have floated the idea of building something for them but they renegged because they already pay for a suite of tools or the tools are provided by the company they work for.
All of the tools are similar to the ones mentioned in my other question, and they all have problems with the software not working well, or they all dont talk to one another.
To that end I felt like asking a community of real estate agents what they use, to see if there is a common pain point among the tools, or ways to make things BETTER.
Automating comps, for example, could be done with machine learning and take the guess work and time of printing out sheets and reviewing 3-5 comps by hand. Creating facebook ADs, that lead to a landing page for lead collecting, then automating an email saying 'thank you', all the while inputting that automatically into a CRM for future tracking.
You have any other ideas?
