from Inman - ‘original sin’ at the heart of the real estate indus
Many agents I really do not respect much, or like their attitude or their level of devotion to their business.
Here is an article from Inman this am:
Key Takeaways
- The No. 1 threat to the industry is lack of competency seen in people who work in the industry.
- No. 2: Not all consumers understand the value of using a real estate agents, and the industry isn't great at educating consumers about why agents are valuable.
- No. 3: Control over listing data. Inefficiencies that stem from using multiple MLSs affect everyone -- consumers, too.
