In today's episode I focus on platform (or enabler) business models - both consumer-centric and agent-centric ones. Which one's will survive? Does the future belong to platform plays?  Finally I am also going to share Realty Partners’ vision for the future and 30,000 foot game plan as we reinvent ourselves, and what you can learn from this, and implement in your own business plan.

This is your opportunity to set yourself apart from 95% of all agents and provide superior value to your clients during this post COVID19 world.

In a post COVID-19 world, there will be incredible opportunities for real estate professionals who are able to shift and anticipate consumer needs and changes in consumer behavior. The real estate industry is poised to be one of the top and most important industries as we emerge, this is your opportunity to reinvent yourself.

Our economy (and stock market) has officially entered a bear market and we really are now in a recession (official definition of course is 2 quarters of decline in GDP).  The coronavirus impact cannot be underestimated and many if not most industries will be adversely affected.   During these challenging times a tremendous amount of opportunities will be created for those real estate professionals who focus on the opportunity side. What we focus on tends to manifest.  During the crash of 2008, many real estate professionals perished, while some - those that focused on the opportunity side of the crisis - created massive success for themselves.   This is another one of those pivotal moments. Crisis spells opportunity and this training session will focus on just that: How to succeed and THRIVE in a down market.

I just returned from Inman Connect in New York and in this episode I am sharing my biggest take aways in the areas of current, new and growing business models to keep an eye on, including iBuyers, Tradeup plays,  changes to lending and title, consumer vs. agent centric business models and more.
