Hi Taunya,
The statistics of on-line real estate client activity are always interesting and powerful. I had not seen the stat about 79% of internet real estate buyers picking their real estate agent online, or the stat about a virtual tour adding 12% higher value to a home than a similar home without a virtual tour. Very interesting!
Do you know where the stats originated?
Thanks in advance,
Ryan.
Thanks for the comment. I believe it was from Realtor.com.
