Do you ever wonder how you compare to other Realtors? Every year the NAR Member Profile breaks down realtors economically, demographically, by tenure, and more.
With technology being a hot topic, I found some of these statistics from both the 2009 NAR Member Profile and the 2009 Realtor Technology report interesting...
-60% of us have had a website that is an average of 5 years old
-The most common information we put on our sites is our own listings
-Over 30% of Realtors use social media
-Of the ones using social media, 76% use Facebook, 58% use LinkedIn, and 35% use Active Rain
-32% say the Blackberry is their primary mobile device, 14% use a Palm Treo, and 10% use an iPhone
