“Real estate is a year-round opportunity to help countless people realize the American dream” (“Why Real Estate”, 2012). Eighty-five percent of buyers believe that home purchases are good financial investments, and a majority of homebuyers and sellers rely on the services and expertise of real estate professionals to assist them with their transactions (Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, 2010). “The primary job description for an agent is communicating with potential clients to determine what kind of property they are looking for” (Richard, 2012).

When a client engages a real estate agent for a property they have seen in the media, they already have a mental picture of the property they are interested to buy. The information provided on the internet and other technology supported media can be inaccurate or deceiving. Clients get frustrated by such incidences and thus it is difficult to deal with them. As a real estate agent encountering such clients is inevitable. In one situation a client toured the property they viewed on the internet. After the tour, the client was disappointed since the property was not as it was described. This situation can create mistrust between the client and the agent. Technology thus contributes negatively to the growth of the agent's brand. Such a client is difficult to handle since their expectations are diminished (Ferrell, Fraedrich, & Ferrell 2011).

I felt as if I was contributing
