4 Pieces of Wearable Tech for RE Pros

Welcome to the future, agents!

Remember when Walter Cronkite predicted that “in the 21st century, it may be that no home will be complete without a computerized communications console”? And now, of course, we all carry smartphones in our pockets and tablets everywhere we go.

Well, it’s time to go even one step farther. Today we’re showing the latest in wearable tech for real estate agents. Because why should you have to dig in your purse or pocket for what you need? Nobody has time for that. It’s time to embrace computers as part of your daily wardrobe.*

4 Wearables for REALTORS®

1. Watches

Watches are the easiest way to embrace this trend. They aren’t overly expensive, they sync up with your other devices, and you might even already be used to wearing one. Better still, almost all smartwatches have the ability to call 911 and geotrack your location, providing an extra level of safety for agents in the field. These are our top 3 picks:

• Pebble: A simple, inexpensive smartwatch that works with both iOS and Android devices and apps. Plus, it has a battery that lasts for days!
• Android Wear: Android’s stylish watch can receive text messages, tell you the weather, Google anything and so much more.
• iWatch: Set to be released early in 2015 (fingers crossed for March), this is the perfect companion to the iPhone, iPad, MacBook air set up so many Apple-enthusiasts already have going.

2. Jewelry

Because not everyone enjoys wearing a clunky old watch. Today’s new generation of smart jewelry helps the wearer by tracking activity, alerting you to calls and keeping you safe.

3. Eyewear

Google Glass may be dead – for now – but that doesn’t mean other brands aren’t going ahead with the smart eyewear vision. The nice thing about a wearable computer that’s built into a set of eyeglasses is that it leaves your hands free to do other things, like update your agent website and high five your clients. Check out these alternatives by GlassUp and Optinvent.

4. Fitness

Perhaps the easiest (and healthiest way) to get started with wearable tech is through a wearable fitness monitor.
