Young Professionals Use Facebook/FaceTime to Purchase Luxury Condo Using social media to market real estate means providing information that they can access at their fingertips.

No one can be everything to everyone at all times, but with social media, we can get really close. Staying in tune with the consumer will lead the next generation of marketing to better elevate this form of customer service.

Cotton & Company’s 5th annual consumer survey is underway. The annual online report surveys prospective homebuyers throughout the US to gain insight into the current buyer’s psychology.

These interesting looking icons are “QR” Codes. QR is short for Quick Response. This technology is definitely not new, but it is becoming more popular in the United States as smart phones take over the marketplace.

Back in the late 50’s and early 60’s, the United States was trying to regain its position as a leader in technology.
