The Internet is also revolutionizing the job of real estate agent — from the way agents attract clients to how they advertise and show properties. 

"They've already seen the inventory of homes for sale over the Internet, as you are doing now viewing our many homes. 

In 1995, just 2% of home buyers used the Internet to look for a home.

Last year, 80% of home shoppers went house-hunting online, and nearly one-fourth of buyers first found the property they bought on the Internet, according to the National Association of Realtors.

And, in fact, 80% of home buyers who used the Internet to look for a home also used a real estate agent.

And last year, only 13% of homes were sold directly by the owner, without an agent, down from 19% in 1991, in part because the documentation is more onerous now, according to the NAR.

Traffic on real estate websites jumped 8% in the past year — double the growth rate of Internet traffic overall, according to comScore Media Metrix .
