Don't be Myth-Taken
Myths are everywhere in the real estate industry these days — and not just for your clients. In an industry with so many resources and news sources available, it's also easy for agents to believe some common myths about their own careers.

Quality leads come from meeting an expectation of excellent service. Excellent service comes, in part, from getting the customer a prompt response from someone well equipped to help them. Unfortunately, when it comes to lead routing (and most things in life, really) there's no single solution here that is just "the way." There are too many factors to take into account from one brokerage to the next. Your market, agents, and business model all come into play, so I can't tell you exactly what's "best" for...

Generational Marketing Explained
Generational marketing is more important to real estate agents than ever.
In generational marketing, you segment and focus your marketing based on techniques and messaging relevant to an age group. For instance, Baby Boomers often respond to mailers, but Millennials require a technology-forward approach.
There are four generations in today's housing market, each with its own concerns and challenges. Generational marketing crafts customer touch-points to improve their experience and meets them where they are in terms of their unique expectations.
Let's take a closer look at the generations and how they differ.
