Just a few years ago digital photography was a new technology but today it has gone through many innovative changes. Although most of us think of digital photography in terms of the camera we carry around, it expands into more areas including that of medical and criminal science. What used to be almost impossible even twenty years ago is possible with digital photography technology. Look at the composite drawings of suspects that police used to do—digital photography now allows this to be done on a computer with digital technology. Medical facilities use it for X-rays and other types of visual testing procedures.
When we look to the past and how far digital photography has come in the first eight years of the 21st century, we can only imagine what it might hold for us in the future. In many areas the use of digital photography has replaced methods that were far less precise and accurate, especially in the medical field. There is a definite need for this field to be expanded and constantly renovated because of the way our lives in general run. We are a very fast-paced society and with that fast pace comes for the need for more modern and innovative technology. Not only do professional photographers need to stay on top of these innovations but also anyone in any field that includes any type of digital photography.
There are some myths about real estate agents, many of which are not so flattering. But when it comes down to it, real estate agents are not too out there, and there is a logical explanation to each misconception. Let’s straighten out a couple myths and facts.
Myth #1: They have big hair.
Fact: Though occasionally real estate agents do have big hair, most are regular people who get up in the morning just like you do, and go to work just like you do. Many real estate agents, in fact, are going bald due to stress related hair loss. Same with the fancy dagger-shaped manicures; in actuality, many real estate agents have bitten their nails down to nubs.
Myth #2: Real Estate Agents drive luxury cars while talking on their cell phones.
Fact: Itâ??s true that real estate agents are often trying to do too many things at once, but they like to be careful about it. And though real estate agents would like to make a good impression on you, more often than not they drive Hondas and Toyotas and hope that their hard work will sell you, not their Lexus.
Myth #3: Real Estate Agents know your area.
Second home sales have been increasing over the last few years with more people becoming second home owners. In 2005 alone, 40 percent of the homes sold were second homes. Demographics, all time low mortgage rates, and healthy rise in home prices have contributed to this development in the second home market. Besides these, a major factor that has helped augment the buying and selling of second homes is the real estate professional.
The National Association of Realtors conducted research on the profile of second-home owners in 2006. According to the NAR report entitled ‘2006 Profile of Second-Home Owners’, a majority of second home sales transactions are conducted using the services of real estate agents.
The statistics are remarkable; 64 % of vacation home buyers purchased their home using the services of a real estate agent by the end of 2005 – a marked increase from less than 50 % of vacation-home buyers in 2003. Also, 65 % of investment-home buyers purchased their home with the help of a real estate agent – an increase from 53 % of pre-2003. In comparison, only 14 % of vacation-home buyers and 7 % of investment-home buyers purchased directly from builders from 2003 to 2005.
The growing role of the real estate professional is evident from the following figures:
1. Of vacation home sales made, 71 % of them were second homes and 74 % of the sales were made using the services of a real estate agent.
