Most real estate brokerages focus heavily on generating leads, and for good reason. More traffic, more inquiries, and more registrations all create the possibility of new business.

Real estate brokerages spend significant time considering how to recruit agents. They evaluate compensation structures, refine their messaging around culture, and highlight the tools and support they provide. All of these elements are important, and each plays a role in attracting talent. However, before any of those conversations take place, agents have already formed an […]

Capturing a lead is often viewed as a sign that marketing efforts are working and that opportunity has been created. While that is true, it’s only the beginning of a much more important process. In a fast moving market, timing is critical. Buyers are making decisions quickly, sellers are engaging in multiple conversations, and agents […]
