I am always searching for new ways to use technology to improve Maxsell Real Estate and my personal service level to each client. I rarely get amazed by new technologies, as they all seem to be only slightly better than the last ‘new thing’. However, I must say that Microsoft Surface blew me away with the potential uses for real estate and life in general. Check out this video and let me know what you think…

Joel Burlesom at Future of Real Estate Marketing had this to say about the technology…
"t’s not hard to see the way this could impact the way real estate searches are conducted. Sitting down with your real estate agent and interfacing tactilely with an MLS data, and then loading property listings into a smartphone or microcomputer and hitting the road, could likely become the norm in the not too distant future."
Reggie at My Tech Opinion had these ideas…
"Since we focus on Real Estate Technology lets take a few guesses at how this could help real estate agents:
- Dynamically zoom in and out of neighborhoods using your finger tips to point out neighborhoods and close parks for interested buyers
- Video home tours navigated with the touch and drag of a finger. Want to zoom-in and stretch a room to see it in a bigger scale? The consumer will interact with the home.
- With Surface integrated into a conference room table, an agent could set their camera on the screen and have their new listing photos effortlessly appear. The real estate agent could stretch and zoom the photos for impact while he/she highlights the properties for fellow agents."
How do you think real estate agents or anyone else will utilize Surface?
