Internet Knowledge is a must for Real Estate Agents

Although I am not directly connected with real estate selling, I was able to work with several real estate agents in the company where I'm currently working.

I was lucky enough to be able to work in a Property Management company here in Fort Bonifacio Global City, Philippines. The company manages several commercial centers and Hotels in Metro Manila, Cebu City and Davao City. They are also engaged in Leasing and Brokerage, selling prime real estate properties, house and lot and condominiums around the Metro and other parts of the Country.

When I was hired as an SEO Specialist, I was expecting to be assigned in their main office in Global City, but instead I was assigned in one of their project in Quezon City, the Cherry Orchard Suites Condominium. I found out later on that the reason why I was assigned there is because, I will also serve as a technical support for the real estate agents of the said project.

I was really surprised that most of the agents of that project are not too familiar with the Internet yet. Some of them do not even know how to send emails to their client. When a client asks for pictures of the model units, I'm the one doing it since they don't even know how to attach files or pictures in their emails.

I really realized the importance of Internet to real estate agents. I was able to witness how the Internet helped the agents facilitate some of their task, sell more and earn more. I even remember this one lady agent who doesn't know how to create an email account since I'm the one who create one for her, but later on became one of the top sellers.

With those experiences, I realized that Internet knowledge is really a must for real estate agents who wants to sell and earn more.
