How Brokerages Can Use Automation to Retain Top Talent
With about 10% of agents switching brokerages annually, retention isn't something to take for granted in real estate. When there's an abundance of brokerages within a given market touting that they have better support and better technology than the next, you have to keep innovating if you wish to retain top talent.
One of the most effective ways brokerages can deliver this value is through strategic automation. Modern technology and communication tools not only help agents save time and keep their clients engaged, but they also help you stay organized and connected with them.
