Each year, new innovative tools come on the market, and 2012 is no different!  Although it can seem nearly impossible to keep up with the latest and greatest thing out there, it’s worth it if you find something you know you’ll use all the time.

As a team of Real Estate Virtual Assistants, we enjoy being your eyes and ears for the latest in marketing and technology. Our goal is to help make your life easier.  Below are a few new gadgets that may spark your interest.  Take a look!

Cutting Edge Video

Product:  Dot

Company: Kogeto

Description:  A 360 degree camera for the iPhone 4 and 4s

Imagine taking panoramic, high resolution videos of your latest listing and sharing them instantaneously on Facebook and Twitter… Dot makes this a reality!  This attachment easily snaps on to your iPhone 4 or 4s and, with brilliant quality imaging and two microphones to capture audio, you’ll create stunning videos with ease.

As real estate agents, you can seamlessly amp up your marketing with quality videos of your listings, your community or any up to the minute real estate advice you want to share.  Dot comes with Kogeto’s free Looker app as well as Dotspots web service which allows you to share videos in real time on Facebook, Twitter and even over email.

Cutting Edge Presentation

Product: (Still in the works)

Company: Mezmerize Inc.

Description:  A projector that’s small enough to embed in a mobile phone

Although this product is still in the works, we thought we’d let you in on this innovative commodity that should be hitting the market sometime this year.  The goal is that this product will allow you to project images and videos from your mobile phone onto any surface!

Think of those times you’ve bumped into a past client who’s looking for a new home and you don’t have your laptop with you or you awkwardly try to scroll through pictures of your latest listing on your phone.  With this tool, you can easily show off the photos or even video of your new listing right from your phone by projecting them onto a table, wall or even the ground!

This is an impressive, fun and convenient tool that’s sure to wow clients.  Be sure to check out more information on Mezmerize Inc.’s website.

We hope this sneak peek at some of the latest technological tools has sparked some interest in how you can more effectively reach your past, current and potential clients this year!

If you’re looking for more ideas and ways to build your business in 2012, your real estate virtual assistant can help!

Have a great day!
