The Changing Real Estate Landscape
Just as the internet forever changed travel bookings, news reading, taxi hailing and so many other parts of life and business, it has also done so to real estate.
No longer do the "big name" brokerages of yesterday control the system the way they used to.
Despite making up well over 50% of the total real estate agents in the industry, the "big name" brokerages yield well under 50% of the total market share. What does this mean to you? It means they are happy to have you work for them and pay their numerous, sky-high fees (and then slip in a surprise fee when you least suspect it), but they are less than happy - or able - to provide you with access to leads and in turn real estate deals. When you need income the most - starting as a new agent - is when you are bilked for a lot more than you bargained for.
The old ways of the large office with customers walking in from the street are long over. The 21st century real estate customer is starting their search online. Instead of chasing after the "big name" brokerages as they slowly fade away into "Blockbuster" video store irrelevance, the future is with online real estate brokerages.
