The old success models are bringing fewer results. Agents can not afford, physically or mentally, to do more, harder, faster. Especially when are getting less and less success. Nor should they. The agent who will find success with the Internet-empowered consumer has strategies that focus on the consumer's style and desires and buying preferences.
Many sellers believe that all an agent does is put a sign in the yard, run an ad and wait.
Unfortunately, sometimes this is true. So the sellers figure they can do that themselves and save thousands of dollars. You really can't blame them. As an industry, we haven't always communicated well the myriad of services that we provide behind the scenes. If you haven't redesigned business strategies for the Internet-empowered consumer, now is the time to do it.
