WATCH: Are You Undisruptable?

February 28 2020

As technology progresses, more real estate agents are worrying about being disrupted or being made irrelevant. We've got good news, however: this is not inevitable.

In fact, agents who understand their role in the marketplace will never be forced out of the industry by technology. That role? Providing great customer service. Lots of agents get bogged down in the transaction, thinking that's their main role. Instead, what clients really need is someone who understands their home buying or selling experience. Agents who understand this are the ones who are undisruptable.

So what does it take to become an "undisruptable" agent? That's what we explored in a webinar this week. Find out more in the recording below:
