December 05 2016
When Gordon Moore, Founder of Intel, in 1965, observed that the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits had doubled every year since its invention, "Moore's Law" has become the predictor of what's happening in technology. Granted, in 1975, the "law" was changed to say every two years and since then, modified often to say every 18 months, but the point remains the same – technology in the lab progresses wickedly fast.
Today's Moore's Law is the moniker to describe changes in more than technology, including social and economic change, changes that technology has helped to speed up. As a novice tech junkie, I am fascinated by "what's next" and in 2017, there are seven tech innovations and trends that have my attention. The implications for real estate are fairly profound.
My Magnificent 7 for 2017:
- Automation
- Ghosting
- IoE
- Intelligent Apps

Automation
It's not that automation is new – the Automat, the first automated food restaurant dispensing food from vending machines, debuted in 1902 – it's what's happening in Automation in real estate today that's profound. A day in the life of the real estate agent is being changed forever. For marketing activities alone, agents no longer need to design flyers, postcards, single property websites or YouTube videos. Heck, they don't even need to update changes on their marketing materials when a price changes. Everything is done for them – automatically. Imprev is at the forefront of fundamentally changing that part of the agent's life, and nearly everyone in the marketing space is jumping on the automation bandwagon. It's not just a wave, it's a tsunami: automation will be pervasive in everything that touches an agent's life, from back office support, to transaction management, to driverless cars for taking their clients on home tours.
