The power of technology to work with clients virtually

David C. Trubey

The coronavirus pandemic brought with it a wave of opportunities for the people who enjoy working at home. The world now is split into two; the people who love working at home and the people who do not.

Some people will prefer working from home because it is more productive and fun; also, there are great saving opportunities too. With the absence of the long commute times, people are now finding it easy to make time for their families and rediscover their private life. Companies like Facebook, Twitter, Square, and Google are encouraging their workers to work from home, and in so doing, they realize that more jobs are done and have begun announcing that working from home will be permanent, as in the case of Twitter.

All this has been made possible by the power of technology. Remote working conditions to date have withstood the test of time, and many are seeing the first-hand benefits of what a true remote working landscape looks like. One of the many tools that technology has provided businesses with is the virtual reality which allows users an immersive experience like no other. In the now new world of digital processing, exciting new technologies such as virtual reality, cloud computing, big data, live video connectivity, among many others, are reshaping the way businesses conduct their day to day activities.

SO, HOW HAS TECHNOLOGY-ENABLED OR FACILITATED REMOTE WORKING OPPORTUNITIES WITH CLIENTS?

First, virtual reality can be applied in so many aspects of the real estate industry. VR training is used to train and share knowledge with the entire organizations, large or even small, and within varying fields and industries. This includes construction, manufacturing, and energy and utilities. As technology becomes more and more sophisticated, coordinating training functions and relaying information across multiple employees and their locations, departments, experience levels, and the VR devices are becoming more challenging for businesses.

But an area where we see rapid adoption of the VR technology is within home showings. According to NAR, the internet is among the top three resources for the buyers when they are looking to buy. Real estate agents can send their clients to home details, and if the client is interested, they can request for a virtual tour of the home. This is a technology that will likely stay even after the Coronavirus pandemic. Video chats today are becoming much more popular. Today, I meet many of my clients virtually rather than heading to the office. Most of the process that I am now doing at home, I could have spent time going to the office and doing it from there, but with video calls and chats, I am finding it much easier to take the tasks home.

In other industries, since the VR involves people working within a virtual platform-based, at least conceptually on real people and real scenarios, the in-person team dynamics and communication management are seamlessly maintained. Through virtual work environments, people can train and also work together harmoniously in a safe environment to tackle and familiarize themselves with some of the high-risk situations that would have otherwise involved a high cost to the employers, thus causing unnecessary danger to the employees. The coronavirus pandemic has brought out much weakness in almost all industries, but perhaps it was a good thing since we now can see the opportunities for growth. For instance, as a real estate agent, I am now able to apply technology to streamline my work processes, something I could not have done before. I take it positively, and so should you. I love being a Realtor and helping people achieve their dreams of home-ownership. Since 2001 I have lived and worked in the beautiful city of Corona, California. I remember how the city had acres and acres of orange trees and now have been replaced by beautiful communities. I went to High School here, and I arrived as the new construction in the area was nearing completion. I grew up originally in Los Angeles and lived in the City of Norwalk, CA, for 17 years.
