Script For Today's Rates, CoStar CEO vs Realtor.com, Buyers Consult | Knowledge Brokers Podcast 070
On this episode of the Knowledge Brokers podcast, Byron & Tom discuss Andy Florence's comments about competitors like Zillow and Realtor.com adopting the "your listing, your lead" model for Homes.com. They debate the transparency concerns around buyer representation and whether it leads to dual agency. Recent inflation data showing signs of moderating prompts a discussion on how to position rising inventory levels to buyers experiencing cold feet. They also emphasize the importance of comprehensive buyer consultations to educate clients and provide advice on facilitating a smooth contract signing process.
