Should Agents Be Working From Home?
With vaccination rates flagging and an ambiguous timeline for the end of the pandemic, the answer to this question is a resounding "Yes!"
Of all industries transformed by the pandemic, real estate moved the fastest — because it was essential to protect agents, brokers, and their clients. Giving up with the finish line in sight doesn't make sense.
But there is a flip side. Research shows many supervisors are nervous about this new work-from-home world. If they can't see people doing their work, they worry nothing is getting done. It's affecting teams in all kinds of industries.
Luckily, real estate is a little bit different.
An independent streak has always been a big part of success in real estate. Even with perks offered by the largest agencies and b...

You Can Compete With Zillow
Agents and brokers around the country are casting wary eyes on Zillow's latest moves. The number of markets in which Zillow is buying and selling property continues to grow. In an industry that has seen more change in the last 24 months than virtually any other, it's fair to respond to all of this with a groan.
Maybe it feels like "one more thing" to navigate around — and a particularly big one, at that. But don't be discouraged.

Like any other company, Zillow relies on r...

Factors are converging to make technology more prevalent:
- Shifting Buyer and Seller Preferences

Manage Your Leads With Ease
Lead management is crucial to moving your real estate business forward.
Every lead has their own story. Some are motivated to jump in and get involved with the market right away. Some want to "wait and see." But the vast majority are somewhere in between. It may take weeks or months for them to get started. Proper lead management ensures two things:
- You get to keep track of them no matter how their thinking evolves or how long it takes
- You can play an active role in helping to educate and motivate them so they take action
With a modern lead management strategy, no time is lost and continuing communication is seamless.

On the Safe Side: A Q&A with Michael Walls
Michael Walls was walking through what he thought was, at the time, a totally normal showing when things took an unexpected turn.
Walls, who recently took over as Technical Support Manager at Delta Media Group® and is also a licensed real estate agent, said he felt "something strange...and one of the guys [at the showing] was being somewhat aggressive toward me." Luckily, Walls didn't have to worry about defending himself.
A sixth-degree black belt with nearly 40 years of experience teaching self-defense, Walls knew he had the situation well in hand. But while nothing came from the moment, Walls also knew that others in the real estate industry might not be so lucky. So, the wheels started turning, and an idea began to piece...
