Real Estate Mobility – Mobile Offices for Real Estate

It’s a tough economy for business right now.  And, I can see more hard times for business rental space, even after the economy picks up again.  This mobile world we live in is creating opportunity for business to cut space and overhead costs by going mobile where it’s appropriate:

• Onsite service
• Sales not requiring a physical showroom
• Real estate
• Mortgage brokerage
• Insurance

There are many more, and it’s getting easier to take an office mobile, with netbook computers and cellular broadband connections.  Using an online intranet and a netbook over cell broadband, virtually every office management function can be accomplished in the mobile environment.

And, we’re talking about an up-front equipment investment for netbook and printer of less than $500, with ongoing costs under $60/month for cell broadband.  Can you rent office space for that, and keep the utilities on?  I’ll be doing an extensive series on Intranets and the mobile office, so subscribe to my feed or newsletter to keep up.  You’ll be glad you did if a mobile office is something you’d like to do.

With the right Intranet service, and I’ll show you which one, you can create custom databases for your business.  Then you can do everything from billing to inventory right from your netbook in the field.  Ain’t technology great?!
