DALLAS – April 26, 2011 – Generation Y – the population segment born between 1980 and the early 2000s – is different from its predecessors, requiring real estate agents to shift their marketing approach.
Agents hoping to reach Gen Y buyers must be tech savvy, having an up-to-date Web site as well as e-mail and text messaging skills. They should not require site visitors to register, as prospects will seek out a different agent; and they must respond to e-mails and phone calls quickly because these potential buyers do not want to waste any time.
While Gen Y buyers likely will not friend them on Facebook or “like” their pages, agents must have an understanding of social media to show that they keep abreast of new technology.

Embrace Change: The use of computers will continue to grow. People are becoming Tech Savvy. Want to keep Relevant and sell homes then you have to learn how to market to The New Generations.
Don’t worry! They will get theirs! When they are our age then they will have to learn to market to their Kids and Grandkids. HA HA That is going to be fun to watch.
Remember when:
We had to pay for electricity? ooops that hasn't happened yet.
People watch TV on TV instead of their phones.
I remember when People talked to each other on the phone! LMAO
Gas was $1 (&*#^&*#%# oil companies= ZERO RESPECT FOR THEM...don’t get me started *Frakers*)
Yoda, Leader of the Jedi Council, Teacher and Wise Mentor. ALSO TOTALLY AWESOME!
Computers were used in the home only.
You had to go to a store to play video games!
The time before Spell Check!
We paid for thing with Cash or Checks! What can plastic buy?
Reality Show? What’s that?
Star Trek on TV! Time to Bring it Back! Where is Q when you need him/her? Resistance is Futile!
A time Before WAl Mart?
I remember caring a Pager in my pocket to stay in touch.
Best President Ever? Regan! Changed the World and ended the Cold War!
First Cell Phones used to be Bricks and you Paid out the WHo WHo each minute.
It used to be that Mobile Phones Could only be carried in Cars.
Movie theaters only had TWO Screens!
Yoda Who?
E Ticket Rides! Nuff Said!
Remember when Phones were attached to walls and you dialed them?
I can remember when there was only 3 TV channels and you were LUCKY to get that many. You were rich if you had color TV!
I remember when we had to walk 2 miles to school each day...Uphill both ways. In a snow storm in Daytona Beach.
