Three Things We Learned From This Episode

 

The truth about building a brand

Most agents think that they can just build a brand and business will start coming to them, but that’s not true. In order for a brand to work for you, it has to go beyond your identity in the market. It’s about how you, your agents and your business appear to consumers. They must believe that you provide an unparalleled service.

 

How working with buyers can prime you for referrals

When you work with buyers, you spend a lot of time with them. By being face-to-face with them for hours on end and helping them through the biggest transaction of their lives, there’s a connection you build that you won’t get with a seller who you deal with intermittently.

How to survive the iBuyer wave

The only way we can outlast the iBuyers that are popping up in our industry is to create value. We can complain about how we’re being disrupted, but the only factor that will ensure our survival is working hard and thinking of how we can win in a changing market.

 

In our industry, there’s so much panic about what’s going to become of us with Zillow and all the iBuyer models sweeping the market. The problem with this way of thinking is it takes our eyes off the ball. People get too caught up and concerned about all the changes in the industry instead of focusing on how they can be better. You have to just accept the rules of the game and the changes, and just play. Think about what is the best and highest use of your skills in that new setting and go after that.
