The housing industry in general is at least a decade back from any other industry because of regulation. I work in the apartment industry and can concur that tech could improve it 10 fold. However; this sector along with the industry has an old mindset and are against change.

I totally agree. It's not that new tools need to be made for the existing brokers, but new companies need to completely redefine what a "real estate agent" looks like and does. Only then will then will regulation come close to catching up with most industries.
