Who is the Center of Your Real Estate Business?
In a recent conversation during the Virtual ReBarCamp, Joe Ferraro was talking about the future of real estate brokerages, which he thought would be an Agent Centric Model. Rob Hahn of 7DS Consulting immediately chimed in that if the real estate industry became any more agent centric, it would put brokerages out of business because of their low profit margins. ...
We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Websites
Real estate agents and real estate brokerages are obsessed with their websites. We spend hours on thinking about them, discussing them, and attend seminars about how to make them better.

Living with the HVCC
The implementation of the Home Valuation Code of Conduct (HVCC) impacts a number of stakeholders in the real estate industry.

Fear And Uncertainty In The Face Of Change
Ever been frozen by fear? This past week, I made a change. I moved brokers for the first time in my career and to be honest about the situation, I was scared to death as I considered the possibility. Change brings with it a lot of fear and uncertainty and probably ten times as much when you’re a new agent. ...

Are You A Professional?
What Makes You Professional? There is a lot of discussion about what makes people professional. We have the Code of Ethics to help us determine the standards that we need to apply to our real estate practices. But in a contact intensive business like ours, the manner in which you interact with others is often the matter of courtesy (or ...
Why I Write for AG
Recently, there’s been a bit of bickering going on in the real estate blogosphere and there’s been some blanket statements made about AgentGenius contributors. It got me to thinking about why I do this (usually) once a week. The pay sucks, I still haven’t seen a check. Benn & Lani only live in the 10th Greenest City in the country ...
