Hot Take
The real estate industry, just like any 90’s pop star, must reinvent itself to stay relevant in an ever-changing world. Sure, some methods may still approach gold status (shiny communication skills, anyone?); but integrating technology? That’s platinum! It’s about time agents said sayonara to stone-age practises and embraced the smorgasbord of social media, personalized service, and advanced tech.
This panel discussion highlights that staying on top of market trends ain’t no cakewalk, but who said making millions was easy? So, pull up your socks (or not, casual is in) and dive into the era of tech-savvy realty, where carrying a floppy disk could mean the difference between selling a house and hearing crickets.
And remember folks, in this real estate game, flexibility’s the name and adaptability… well, that’s the game itself. After all, in the words (kind of) of Julia Boland, “No one wants to buy a house from a stiff mannequin. They’d rather take their chances with the friendly bot on Instagram!”
Welcome to the new era of real estate! Where holographic showings are the norm, and properties are more likely to sell on TikTok than the classifieds! Who knows? Maybe the next multimillion-dollar property will be sold via a tweet. Now wouldn’t that be something to retweet about?
