I found some time to check out the Google Wave Developer preview on youtube <\/a>a few days ago. And darn if I haven’t thought to myself: “This’ll be way easier and more fun to do once Wave comes” at least 10 times since.<\/p>\n

So here are some possible applications that have crept into my head. Keep in mind these are all based on the little “taste” this “junkie” got from the preview video, so I’m not even sure a few of these will be doable, but what better place to toss this stuff out than here at BHB?<\/p>\n

What Will Change In Real Estate Brokerage Once Google Wave Takes Over The World?<\/h2>\n

Single Property Websties<\/strong>
\nI imagine a Wave template that pictures, documents, videos, maps, etc are all dragged into from the desktop or the web. I’m assuming here that we’ll then be able to purchase a domain name for each property and map it to a public url for the “public” version of the wave. <\/p>\n

Listing and Conveyancing Folders<\/strong>
\nSave the trees baby! Can you see creating a wave for a listing or pending sales folder, then inviting other parties to the transaction to participate in the Wave? Need a copy of the Seller’s Disclosure? It’s in the Wave? How about the listing contract? In the Wave. (But only sharable to parties who should see it.) <\/p>\n

Buyer Presentations?<\/strong>
\nGot a new buyer. Drag in the pre-approval letter. Add some links to the Wave MLS Single Property Pages for the listings you’ll be touring tomorrow. Answer the buyer’s questions about agency, marketing conditions, financing, or whatever, from right within the wave, in real time! Heck, even drag in those Google Voice Text Transcriptions! Can you imagine how comprehensive this search-able record of the whole interaction from web lead to settlement will be? Don’t do or say anything stupid! It’ll be in the Wave! (And don’t try to delete your shannanigans either, cause Wave records all edits. Freaky…)<\/p>\n

Company Training \/ Office Procedures \/ Systems Manuals<\/strong>
\nAlive, breathing, dynamic, EASILY ENHANCED AND IMPROVED UPON …. In a Wave!<\/p>\n

Company Intranet?<\/strong>
\nWave. Enough said?<\/p>\n
