In this episode of the Hyper Fast Agent Podcast, host Keri Shull interviews Andrew Flachner, President and Co-Founder of RealScout. The discussion focuses on the intersection of technology and real estate, particularly how RealScout addresses the challenges faced by agents in maintaining control and visibility over their clients' online property searches. Andrew explains that RealScout was born from a need to provide a more agent and client-centric platform, contrasting traditional national service portals. He describes RealScout as a middle-of-the-funnel tool designed to incubate leads in an agent's database, keeping the agent top of mind for when clients are ready to transact. Keril emphasizes the importance of choosing specialized technology tools for different business needs, rather than looking for a single solution that tries to do everything. This episode sheds light on the evolving role of technology in enhancing the real estate business and improving agent-client interactions.   Welcome to the HyperFast Agent Podcast with Billion Dollar Real Estate Agents Dan Lesniak and Keri Shull, who are top sponsors at eXp Realty.

Andrew Flachner, President of RealScout, has dedicated his career to enhancing agent-client relationships in the real estate industry. Flachner has seen firsthand the challenges of maintaining relevant contact with everyone in a real estate agent's database. He believes that while AI has transformative potential, the focus should be on the core of a product or service and its ability to solve problems and assist agents, rather than simply boasting about AI capabilities. His company, RealScout, is committed to re-centering agents in the consumer experience and providing tools for collaboration. Join Bill Risser and Andrew Flachner on this Short Cuts episode of The Real Estate Sessions podcast to learn more about his unique perspective and innovative solutions.(00:01:23) RealScout: Enhancing Agent-Client Collaboration(00:06:46) RealScout's Collaborative Agent Experience(00:09:13) Revolutionary Real Scout Pro Plus Upgrade(00:15:04) RealScout's Rapid Growth and Agent EmpowermentQuotes(00:00:00) "It's difficult to maintain contact and relevant contact with everyone in your database frequently enough." - Andrew Flachner(00:05:06) "But one of the things that we're learning is that if you are struggling to generate new business in a slow market, there is a huge asset that you're probably ignoring, and that is your database, that is your CRM. And so everything that we've been building and announcing as of late is all geared around how to help agents take this asset and help extract dividends from it." - Andrew Flachner(00:11:54) "In terms of AI, I might have a contrarian perspective here. AI is absolutely transformative and I use it in one way or another almost every day. However, in real estate, I have seen a lot of what I'll call brochureware, where you can see a lot of people talking a big game about AI." - Andrew Flachner(00:14:22) "The core of what makes an iPhone, an iPhone or iOS, iOS is not AI, AI helps run it, it helps make it a great product, but it is not the product." - Andrew Flachner00:01:23 - Special occasionsSpecial occasions like Valentine's Day and daylight savings have traditionally been used by real estate agents to stay in touch with their clients. Andrew Flachner, the founder of RealScout, acknowledges the challenge of maintaining contact with everyone in a database. In the past, agents would send Valentine's Day cards and daylight savings reminders to increase touch points. However, Flachner believes there is now a better way, and that's where RealScout comes in. Real Scout aims to empower the relationship between agents and clients by providing a platform for collaboration and relevant touch points. This helps agents extract dividends from their database and improve their online reputation and visibility.00:06:46 - RealScout's missionRealScout, founded in May 2012, aims to put agents back at the center of the consumer experience. While national portals have helped agents at the top of the funnel, RealScout provides a safe haven for collaboration between agents and clients once they start working together. The company recently launched RealScout Pro Plus, which includes buyer and seller nurture features, as well as a flagship feature called auto nurture that automatically nurtures everyone in an agent's database. RealScout also utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) in their platform, but founder Andrew emphasizes the importance of realistic expectations and thorough testing before fully embracing AI in real estate. The core of Real Scout's success lies in their vision and problem-solving abilities to benefit agents.00:09:13 - RealScout's Pro Plus versionRealScout recently launched Pro Plus, their largest platform upgrade in over a decade. This new version not only nurtures buyers, but also potential sellers in an agent's database. One standout feature is the home value alert, which...

They discuss RealScout's new platform – RealScout Pro+, which helps attract new leads (including listing leads), and how the Auto Nurture feature helped Gary Ashton, leader of the world's #1 RE/MAX team, get 49 new seller leads in 20 days.

What does the development of in-house listing programs mean for the industry? And how will the joint venture with Opendoor impact RedfinNow? Our intrepid hosts have very different answers to these questions. On this episode of Industry Relations, Rob and Greg are discussing the impact of systematic coming soon listings. Rob makes the argument that widespread adoption will take down the MLS, moving residential real estate to the commercial model. Greg makes the case that pocket listings are nothing new and challenges the idea that the MLS will become a ‘dumping ground’ for properties that haven’t sold privately. Rob and Greg also weigh in on the new partnership between Redfin and Opendoor. Listen in for Greg’s insight around why the collaboration is a genius move that benefits both parties and learn why Rob sees it as a huge concession on Redfin’s part—a concession that will eliminate their own iBuyer operations in each and every Opendoor market.   What’s Discussed:    What Rob & Greg are looking forward to most at Inman Connect Greg’s criticism of Rob’s recent posts on RealScout’s Buyer Graph Rob’s argument that coming soon programs will take down the MLS Greg’s counter that exclusive listings are not a new phenomenon How residential real estate may be moving to a commercial model Greg’s take on the brilliance of the Redfin & Opendoor partnership How the new partnership with Opendoor will impact RedfinNow Rob’s view of the partnership as a concession on the part of Redfin   Connect with Rob and Greg:   Rob’s Website Greg’s Website     Resources:   Inman Connect Notorious R.O.B.

And if you convert more leads, then you won't likely have to do so much lead generation. This is just a snapshot as to what RealScout is doing for THOUSANDS of real estate agents nationwide. In this interview, Andrew Flachner shares a lot more than just how RealScout is helping realtors perform more efficiently and effectively.
