Simplify Your Real Estate Technology Needs

By Chad A. Johnson · January 10, 2009

OK, now that I have your attention, how do I propose you do this? Connect all of your electronic devices to your network. Printers, external hard drives, media card readers, plug them all into your network.

How does this simplify?

• You only need one printer and one external hard drive since everyone can share them easily through the network.
• Need to access your real estate partner’s files? Have them saved to a network connected drive and quit bugging them to email it to you.
• Print wirelessly from your couch (I love this one).
• All devices remain connected, so going mobile with your laptop doesn’t require disconnecting numerous USB cables.

Many printers and external drives are network-ready, but they tend to come at a premium price. Also, what if you already have USB-only devices and you don’t want the expense of replacing them? This is where the Belkin Network USB Hub comes in.

Plug the Belkin Network USB Hub into your network and virtually any of your USB devices become network devices. With 5 USB ports, this hub provides plenty of room for an all-in-one printer, laser printer, external hard drive, flash drive, card reader or any other devices that would benefit from network access.

At $100, the Belkin Network USB Hub is a lot cheaper than replacing all of your USB devices with network-capable models.

There’s nothing like breathing new life into aging technology.
