What Zillow’s Recent 2020 Announcement Means For You
Episode 15
Monday, 3 January, 2022
In this episode, Wesley and Stephen talk about Zillow’s recent announcement that they have become a full-fledged broker.They explain how it is that we got to this point. The reason is that our industry professionals have failed.We did this to ourselves by not calling customers back. However, there is a silver lining to all of this. In order to combat Zillow, agents need to become community experts. Their benefit is that they have personal brands and have the time to put into community efforts.Therefore, Wesley and Stephen say to build relationships with your customers, especially relationships that don’t end once you receive the commission check. Additionally, protect yourself going into the future by innovating.Some ideas for innovating are to create different levels of services such as good, better, and best packages. Buyers who have less time than money will be willing to pay for extra services that save them time and you won’t have to wait to get paid until you sell the house.Show notes:Zillow recently made a big announcement.They have become a full-fledged broker.You may be wondering what this means for you as a real estate agent.
