Those that choose not to use a professional do so at their own peril based upon their own ability to understand and move through the process. I don't think a semantic web will completely remove the real estate professional from the process, it will however require them to have a completely different skill set when it comes to marketing and understanding their role in the creation and distribution of data and listing enhancements. I don't believe that aggregation will completely supplant the human element of the relationship.Michael Pricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11962207944257689881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29074506.post-39482757427050694602007-07-06T14:52:00.000-05:002007-07-06T14:52:00.000-05:00The sematics model is inevitable in the online space.
