Today, I wanted to dive into an exciting topic that’s revolutionizing our industry—technology in real estate sales.With so many new tools and platforms emerging, I'm curious to hear from everyone here about the tech solutions you’re finding the most valuable in your business.

Could this be the result of some type of maliciousness by those who work in the real estate industry?

New industry coming in?  

We have a family partnership that holds some commercial properties (light industrial) and I am looking to help resolve some family disagreements by finding a cash out refi option.  

It will teach you the industry, the buying/selling process, how to deal with contractors, scheduling, budgeting, etc. 

I typically do most of the work myself or hire my handy man who does just about everything and for a great price.I definitely have more experience in the construction industry than in the mortgage one for now, but I would love to chat further if you're willing to share some of the knowledge you have :) (up to this point it has been only my mother and I investing and we have about 6 properties collectively.)Thank you for all of the input!!

During this process, we discovered that there is an industry that resells positions in syndications on the secondary market.

So the cost was maybe even baked into the home price, which the buyer pays.Bottom line is this: the courts found that the  industry illegally conspired to keep commissions high.

Nothing was more evident than going to the mastermind earlier this month where you had people new to real estate talking and building relationships with people who have been in the industry for years.

To me the issue isn't charging fees and making profit as much as it is doing so without providing tangible value in returnA business exchange should result in value added not extracted—charging a 50% leasing fee to then only do remote showings, charging a $25/mo smart-home fee because of an added a $50 wifi-enabled thermostat My clients pay management fees as high as 20%, none lower than 13%, and in return they receive comprehensive property managementMy residents pay nothing other than rent, because they're not clientsI can't complain though, because if it weren't for the industry's standard practices becoming this way, I wouldn't have my niche
