The real estate industry has traditionally become a world of suits offices and phone calls with maybe Cadillac or Lincoln parked outside. The digital era has come and there are a few disrupters that are changing the landscape for the real estate market but not necessarily taking the jobs but making it easier for the job in the all-important customer engagement section. See a real estate agent is one person, they can only be so many places at once. The regulatory portion of real estate makes it scary affair to enter with only normal trading between each other because of the scam. See real estate law came about because there was always some Ponzi schemer who would buy your house and not pay your or sell you a house with no house on the land but a small action figure. Hence why there is now an organization and a body that facilitates real estate affairs. 

The problem is time, an agent can only touch so many people at once there is not a broad brush that can be painted and there aren't 20 Cadillacs that can pick up and drive folks around to every location with only so many agents and so much time here comes the digital era and how it can pay dividends. 

ZEN has introduced a technology one that allows the agent to be multiple places at once with a Robot. Most homes have a digital entry system that means you punch a code and you're in electronically (Electronic lockbox), this has been taken to a whole new level with the ecosystem of a Robot in the home. A digital transfer of a house showing a Robot that sits in for you at all times ready to show the home and answer your deepest questions. This tool is magnificent while scary at the same time, the actual most important job of the agent is negotiating the deal and being sure all the regulations are in place so why waste time with the gas driving, and dressing up have one outfit a tablet and roller derby and your life is made simple.

Here are some others trying to change the game

The savings come at the expense of no open houses or real estate connections relying on catching more people clicking on a per click advertisment campaign to connect buyers and sellers.
