Of course, the web isn't just a place for Realtors to 'reach people', but rather a place where home buyers can get the information that they need. The web is the most cost-effective way for Realtors to provide that information to the public. So it only makes sense to make the most of the internet. The relationship then develops during face-to-face meetings. There’s no doubt that behind every great real estate agent these days there needs to be a great webmaster.

This isn't about tooting their own horns...this is about being where your customers are when searching for real estate. Real estate will always be a people-based business - but you need to reach those "people" first, and the internet is a great tool for achieving that goal.
