Roger Pettingell to Represent Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate at Consumer Electronics Show
Selected from 84,000 sales associates worldwide, Pettingell will serve on a panel of five smart home savvy agents
SARASOTA, FL (Jan. 8, 2018) – The Consumer Electronics Show (CES), held annually, is the launch platform for the globe’s next-generation technological innovations. Hosted in Las Vegas, the conference spans four days of speakers, consumer-facing product launches and global networking opportunities. Roger Pettingell, the number one producing individual sales associate in Sarasota County, is in attendance and reporting live on trends affecting local home buyers and sellers on behalf of Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate.
Pettingell was selected from over 84,000 sales associates worldwide to serve on the Blue Crew, a panel of five smart home savvy agents, to broadcast content live from the show floor via Coldwell Banker’s social media channels. Pettingell and the Blue Crew will discuss smart home technology, technology impacting today’s home buyers and sellers and its relevance to the Sarasota marketplace. Pettingell will be sharing photos and updates from his social media channels.
Technology has made the process of home buying and selling simpler, smarter and faster. A new survey from Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC, conducted online by Harris Poll among over 3,000 U.S. adults, suggests VR is poised to become the next big thing in real estate. Americans appear to be ready to embrace VR as a resource to visualize what is normally left to the home buyer’s imagination. In fact, the desire for VR house tours is almost on par with traditional video tours. For those considering a home purchase in the future, 84 percent of respondents would like to see video footage, while 77 percent would like the ability to be able to take VR house tours before actually visiting prospective homes.
