Podcasts about buzzbuzzhome

Kevin Weitzel, director of business development with Zonda, joins the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to share an overview of the company's new listing platform made exclusively for new construction homes. Weitzel sits down with host Carol Morgan to discuss the changes for real estate in the digital asset world. Zonda is well known for being the largest homebuilder and land data aggregator in the industry. In the past several years, Zonda has acquired various companies, including the Scottish satellite company Bird.i, a digital asset company called Alpha Vision (now Zonda Virtual) and Canada's BuzzBuzzHome (now Zonda Livabl). Diving into what's new in the virtual world, Weitzel explains that artificial intelligence (AI) is a major change in the digital space – especially for real estate. AI provides a more accurate searching experience for consumers and homebuilders alike. Homebuilders can look at the aggregation of data generated by AI to not only know what viewers are clicking on but also to better understand what consumers are repeatedly searching for on their websites, how much time viewers are spending on a specific page and much more. Using this data, homebuilders can develop products that are targeted more toward what consumers are searching for and can retire older plans that aren't getting much traction. Weitzel said, “AI really does help homebuilders hone in on important consumer details.” While AI tools can be beneficial to homebuilders and developers, Weitzel comments that he has witnessed businesses leaning too heavily on digital applications. Utilizing AI is a wonderful way to spark creativity but shouldn't be used to directly create website copy, social media posts and digital branding. Weitzel said, “I'm seeing the same verbiage used from builder to builder. That's lazy! If you have a unique product, tell a unique story!” Also changing in the virtual realm are visualizers. While visualizers are not new, we will probably see fewer homebuilders using this tool in the years to come. Consumers can now change cosmetic settings, such as wall color, flooring, fireplace material and baseboard shape, in real-time though virtual tours. More and more homebuilders are slowly adopting the new advances in technology. Whether it be prop tech or AI, homebuilders are starting to adapt to the applications and tools provided by the digital asset world.

Market Proof Marketing · Ep 148: Buyer Experience Tools with Kody Smith Kody Smith, President of NoviHome, joins us to discuss how to help keep the communication with buyers as transparent as possible. Plus, Kevin, Andrew, and Becca discuss Kevin's recent attempt at making a homesite reservation on a home builder's website and why the experience was less than perfect. Story Time (2:10) Becca shares her story of how she had been told that finding a daycare near her home would be easy and now they all have waitlists too. Andrew's local Starbucks changes their hours! Instead of opening at 5am they're opening at 11am and confusion has been created around the change because of the lack of context. Kevin talks about his experience signing up to reserve a homesite on a home builder's website and how his “reservation” ended up with just 1 poorly templated email…18 hours later. Plus, Kevin gives his review of his recent purchase of Eggo stuffed pancake bites and how it was the worst pancake of his life.

I think the case can be made for both, and yet I'm drawn to one over another. 1. They outperform other builders in a highly competitive market with lots of new homes sold each year as a large % of overall real estate transactions. (high volume market) 2. They outperform a small pool of competition from other builders, but they operate in a market where new home sales volume is a tiny fraction of overall real estate transactions? (low volume market) This Week's Question: Would you pay $50 a year to use FB/IG with complete privacy and no ads? Let us know your thoughts on the Market Proof Marketing Facebook group 360 Topic of the Week: Buyer Experience Tools with Kody Smith (43:18) The team talks with Kody Smith, from NoviHome, about the company's goal of guiding buyers through the sales funnel while still delivering insights and analytics. They touch on the main functions of NoviHome – NoviHome Show, NoviHome Focus, and the homebuyer app. They also discuss how the pandemic increased the need for technological and customizable solutions as well as how builders were able to show their customers value through easy communication tools.  NoviFocus isn't replacing anyone's CRM, they're adding a layer on top of your existing CRM to make it easy for agents to get buyers INTO the CRM via integrations. How buyers and sales agents have been utilizing home photos to be able to write notes on the images How they're trying to solve the problem of agents not using technology. How people need to realize websites and apps are different and how their apps control the flow of information buyers are seeing. Questions? Comments?

Zack Korn manages digital advertising for brands and Realtors on BuzzBuzzHome, North America's largest listing of all new construction homes. He's formerly worked in condo sales centres and behind the scenes in Toronto real estate. As an experienced marketer and salesperson, he understands what incentives buyers, Realtors and developers respond to. He's passionate about the real estate industry because of its impact on human happiness and quality of life. His interest in how the real estate market works started early, being raised by a real estate lawyer and an architect. In my interview with Zack, we discuss how to come out ahead when buying a pre-construction condo, ways to protect yourself as a buyer and purchasing a condo as an investment.

Josh Sherman, real estate report from online real estate portal BuzzBuzzHome gives us his market insights. How do you come up with your story ideas? Do you find it easy to pull information from your sources? Do you ever find inconsistencies with the information you’re receiving from them? Do you think a foreign buyer tax is a possibility and what your sources saying? What other impacts do you think this may have in the market? What percentage of the market do you think represents foreign buyers? Have you seen any effects on the Toronto market from the foreign buyer tax in BC? Do you think a Toronto real estate correction is coming soon? Do you think other markets would be impacted by a correction in the Toronto market? I’ve noticed over the years that the major print publications like The Globe, Macleans etc spend a lot of time generating negative headlines about the real estate market. What are your thoughts about that? Is it fear mongering? What do you think is the most affordable area across Canada? How much did Canadians spend on their homes in 2016? Has there been an affect on the Canadian market given the US election? Can you let us know what kinds of stories you’re working on now?

Matthew Slutsky founder and CEO of BuzzBuzzHome.com and Ara Mamourian Broker/Owner at SpringRealty.ca decided to sit down and talk. They thought that you'd be interested in what they had to say about various urban Toronto issues so here we are. Welcome to the #urbanizeTHIS Podcast. Share using that hashtag and we'll talk!
