The more things change, the more they remain the same. Yes, technology is changing the way we do business in real estate. And a lot of us abandoned the practice of nurturing our database in favor of portal leads that offered instant gratification. But as platforms like Realtor.com and Zillow demand more and more of our commissions, the agents who survive will be the ones who diversify their lead sources and combine the old principle of building relationships with tech advancements like artificial intelligence and automation to stay in front of their audience for the long haul. Today, I m having a round table discussion with several big names in the industry, including Howard Tager and Jeufeng Ge of Ylopo as well as top producers Mike Bjorkman, Mike Bernier and Gary Ashton. We begin with RDC s acquisition of Opcity, examining how the portals are shifting to become brokerages and why agents MUST diversify their lead sources to avoid big-time disruption. We debate the idea of being an extension of a brand like Zillow versus building your own brand with support from a marketing service like Ylopo. We also explain how agents can compete with portals by  swimming upstream,  leveraging AI and automation to nurture leads who are further out from a transaction and providing VALUE by offering sellers multiple options once they do raise their hand. Listen in to understand how the HUD lawsuit will impact your Facebook ads and learn why becoming a marketing specialist and building your own brand is more crucial now than ever!
