The can be no question
that the real estate industry is late to adopt Internet technologies and
business practices in the daily prosecution of business. However, there will
come a time not very far in the future when everyone has an "always
on" broadband connection on their desktop. Franchises are now being built
to capitalize on that world as it will be. Ask yourself what would have happened
to the real estate industry if the 1989 - 1993 RTC/FDIC real estate disaster
happened at the same time everyone in the industry had an "always on"
broadband connection on their desktop. Would thousands of bidders be showing up
at sports arenas to watch a big screen simulcast (the connected technology of
the time) of RTC auctions? We think not. An always on broadband connection on
everyone's desktop would have created a ubiquitous and viable auction market for
properties, financing and information that would still be with us today. Get
ready.
