Episode notes

When set up properly, your technology should be shaped to your real estate team’s way of doing things. It should support your vision and your dreams. It should enhance and improve your SOPs.

But often we get things turned around and allow our tech to dictate how we operate. Instead of adding efficiency and profitability, our tech can add unnecessary cost and frustration.

For advice on turning this around and to kick off Techtember, we bring you this incredibly helpful conversation with Justin Benson, Founder and CEO of Bara Agency and of Shilo.ai.

Before starting Bara, a fraction Chief Technology Officer agency, he helped build Gluch Group, helped expand it to three states, sold hundreds of homes himself, and created their tech stack.

Justin shares the three pieces of tech every team needs, ways to think about your tech budget, the most important question to ask when evaluating new and existing tech, and much more!
