Stop Buying Technology!

less is more 300x186 1It's the season. WAV Group is fielding satisfaction surveys to determine how agents and brokers use or don't use technology offerings. We even encounter a curious situation where we are measuring satisfaction with broker solutions and MLS solutions in the same market.
