1. What's your opinion on the health of the local market in general? Also, are there market segments doing really well, or really badly?
Our inventory is low right now. Builders are buying up vacant lots and tracks of land at a discounted price and building new homes. We're seeing multiple offers coming in again. The market is definitely moving.
2. What percentage of your agents have smartphones?
Since I am a boutique real estate company, I will speak to the membership of Emerald Coast Association of REALTORS® and take a guess that more than 85% have smartphones; all of our agents use smart phones as a basic tool.
