Takeaways + Tactics

1. Be specific and intentional with the metrics you use to measure whether you’re actually performing or growing the business the right way.
2. Technology is equipping the consumer with more knowledge and that’s making them seek out true professionals.
3. Agents have to list properties, get the listings sold and put buyers on their contracts. In this market, focusing on number 1 allows 2 and 3 to happen automatically.
