355 - Creating Value Outside of the Buying/Selling Process (with Stefanie Lugo)
Stefanie Lugo is an agent from Scottsdale, AZ, not far from a hotbed of iBuyer market testing, who fully understands the impact that iBuyers have had on the real estate market. In this week’s episode, she argues that putting your value in front of prospects is critical. If agents are going to survive the onslaught of iBuyers and combat the industry’s negative image among members of the general public, then they are going to have to explain and deliver value not just during a transaction but before and after the sale as well. Stefanie does both by 1) knowing her ideal clients; 2) knowing what they are looking at on social media; and 3) using a 10x10x5 Instagram strategy that she explains during her interview.
