I believe that the pressure is increasing on the real estate community to provide more “True Value” based on what the consumer sees as valuable and not what we brokers & sales executives think are great ideas.
We all know who the big players are and with out a doubt there is strength in numbers, however, without working to understand our clients we can be blinded by our own magnificence. From the broker point of view we have 2 clients: the sales executives and the end users of our services. We need to make our agents have the necessary tools to succeed in an ever changing environment and the clients see value in what we do for them.
I do not see an outward trend setter. The winners will be the companies who can implement very effective ideas that receive buy-in from the agents as well as the clients.
I believe that all consumers want to feel like they receive tremendous value for their money. They want the real estate community to do their job, which means their agent helped the client reach their goals. They also want this to be a seamless no hassle event. More then ever people are demanding all their needs and concerns be met.
This will never happen on a national or even a local association level. This has to happen on a broker level. The brokers who are truly listening to their customers and making the necessary changes will win the war. The rest will eventually go away as they should.
This is a constant changing environment. You must always work to maximize the value you offer while staying profitable through the process.
None! They need to stay out of the brokerage business and just do what they were meant to do, which is: protect and promote the REALTOR being in the center of every real estate transaction. And assure that the data used in our industry is quality and the systems stay a valuable tool.
We are working to lead our organization in the direction of setting ourselves apart from the competition, while supporting our agent base as to better deliver true value to clients.
