Mitigating the Great Real Estate Brain Drain
In the wide world of housing, "brain drain" is associated with a mismatch between financial capital and human needs. When young, educated people leave an area en masse, usually seeking more affordable housing, it means less innovation in the communities left behind.
This kind of brain drain often happens in the wake of a housing bubble.
But there's also a different kind of brain drain, a kind that strikes organizations. When talented people leave, two weeks is often not enough to replace them. And even if their role gets filled, they take with them valuable insights and best practices that are undocumented.
As a result, the next person in the role takes even longer to acclimate. Depending on the situation, they might never quite reach the performance of their predecessor. Meanwhile, other members of...

From Feature To Product: How Delta Media Group's AVM Tool Helps Brokerages Win More Listings
Let's start with the basics. What is an AVM? AVM stands for Automated Valuation Model, and in today's marketplace, it is one of the best tools at a brokerage's fingertip to help win new listings. For years, I have heard real estate agents push back on the idea of providing consumers with automated home value estimates being worthwhile. After all, those automated home value estimates used to be way off and lead to more uncomfortable conversations for real estate agents than positive ones.
That status quo has most certainly flipped in the last couple of years. Automated home value estimates have only continued to get more and more accurate. Certainly, they will never beat an estimate given by a licensed professional able to see the house in person. However, the industry has learned how to turn a potential home seller'...

Are You Sending The Right Message To the Right Audience In The Right Way?
One of the best ways to create a successful marketing campaign is to segment your audience. Many agents will create "buckets" by dividing their client and prospect contacts, then focusing most of their efforts on the most likely to buy or sell soon.
That's not a bad strategy, but this approach often only yields short-term benefits. The system creates a marketing cycle of "prospect, prospect, prospect – secure leads – then process, process, process" these transactions. The challenge for agents is this becomes a roller-coaster approach to business growth. You feast after closings and famine when hunting for more business.
By leveraging the potential of the DeltaNET® 6 CRM, you can end the roller-coaster nature of your business. Delta's tech toolset allows you to create ongoing, set-and-forget marketing ca...

Be More Than Your Listings: How to Keep Marketing When Inventory is Low
In the past few months, you've probably noticed that listing inventory has been extremely low, at least in most of the country. As if it wasn't enough that current homeowners are less apt to sell during these uncertain times, labor shortages and supply chain issues have slowed new home builders down. When you're used to most of your real estate marketing being centered around new listings, it can be tough to keep the leads coming in with limited listings on the market.
But fear not, because I've laid out some tools you can use to keep marketing your brand so that when people are looking to sell again or for those that are still looking to buy now, you're the first name that comes to mind.

Even when you don't have any active listings, you can stil...

Strategies For Using Technology: Best-in-Breed VS. All-in-One
As I sit in my home office, I find myself gazing out the front bay windows staring at the bright green grass that's starting to grow, the Bartlett pear trees that are beginning to flower, the pine trees blowing in the wind and the oak trees lining the streets. Spring is finally here after what seems to have been a long Ohio winter.
The picturesque, almost mesmerizing view is perfect for clarity breaks. It makes me think of past times; it's hard to believe that Delta Media Group® turned 28-years-old this year. I don't know if there is a dog-years equivalent for technology firms, but 28 years seems like 100 in "technology years."
This got me thinking about how Delta has evolved into an all-in-one provider. In 1994, the journey started with simple real estate websites that contained property photos an...
