In this Daily Dispatch, Brad is joined by Anthony Hsieh, chairman and CEO of loanDepot.

The fifth-generation owner of the 160-year-old Chicago-based brokerage identifies one issue with real estate being that people don't think agents are actually working right now.

In this Daily Dispatch, Brad is joined by CEO of Homesnap, John Mazur. The best mindset you can have right now is this: "Shit's [sic] changing, and I need to change with it." Sure, it might be a little raw, but everything is a little raw right now.

Quirarte is seeing a big divide between buyers and sellers: Buyers see an opportunity to pick up real estate on a fire sale, and sellers who are currently waiting out the market.

In this Daily Dispatch, Brad is joined by Errol Samuelson, Chief Industry Development Officer at Zillow.

When you're looking for new clients, it can be easy to focus on scoring the deal and forget the client.

High-profile real estate agent and reality TV star https://www.inman.com/2020/01/29/social-media-is-the-greatest-gift-to-agents-ryan-serhant/ (Ryan Serhant) said Tuesday that he supports ongoing protests sparked by police brutality against Black Americans, adding that people need to proactively fight racism.

With the https://www.inman.com/2020/04/08/read-all-of-inmans-coronavirus-coverage-here/ (coronavirus outbreak) slow to flatten and https://www.inman.com/2020/04/01/10-cities-best-prepared-to-weather-a-coronavirus-fueled-economic-storm/ (wreaking havoc) on the housing market, real estate agents across the country are feeling frustrated and lost. In reality, the need for their work has never been stronger, Century 21 CEO Mike Miedler said at Inman's virtual real state conference, https://www.inman.com/2020/06/02/connect-now-teaser-brad-inmans-big-ideas/ (Connect Now), on Thursday. Miedler said that signs of improvement and pent-up demand are already emerging clearly in states that opened up in the past few months. The initial panic of whether agents would have a job post-pandemic is being pushed out by a variety of new markets and housing needs that are currently emerging.
