The consumer is evolving and transforming their expectations of #realtors and how they do business when purchasing real estate. Staying ahead of the curve or at least on pace with the consumer is critical to staying relevant.
Redfin has changed the business model from commission to salary when talking about agents and brokers. It takes away the pressure for agents to convince a buyer they need to buy and by the same token convincing a seller they need to sell. It gives those agents a more secure playing field to give the right advice without a thought or care to the commission. We’ll find out what the consumer perspective is on this business model, what the real estate landscape is doing to understand it and compliment it and what the future holds for Redfin and their consumer centric business model.
We’re also going deep on the tech side here. Redfin recently introduced 3D and are heavily focused on technology to improve the experience with their brand. Karen Krupsaw, VP of Real Estate Operations joins us. #strategy #realestate #consumer #technology

2. What technology is available to agents and home buyers/sellers.
3. Where real estate technology is headed next.
