As one reader pointed out in response to a WSJ.com post on photos in real-estate listings, "most agents are not utilizing technology efficiently." The readers explains, "We had a young agent and he did an excellent job with marketing our town home. We ended up getting three dozen offers. He also uses BlackBerry and a few other tech gadgets which many agents simply don't use or cannot afford or whatever." Lauren
