Commercial real estate: how brokers and lenders can get their checks in the "e-mail."
Article Abstract:
Internet offers real estate brokers and lenders an easy and practical way to deal with and pre-qualify potential clients of even the global scale. They can also virtually tour them through the buildings with the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML). Further, the online service also presents no pressure on the broker-client relationship because clients can visit the site any time they want without the element of persuasion. With an initial budget of $5000 for the design and connections, the broker can also maximize time for using the technology because it can be accessed 24 hours a day.
