Parade of Techniques: 1. You know how you're supposed to work out? You're supposed to move your body. We've got someone who's moving his body, for 45 minutes every single day on the treadmill. So, that takes time away from real estate! 2. According to T3 Sixty, “A decoupling of a buyer-broker presentation from listing-broker compensation, to some degree, will most likely occur sooner rather than later.” Ask the Experts: 1. My number one goal is to have those kinds of numbers that you just reported… I went from twelve pending transactions down to zero. I'm making my calls but it's like the whole business just went… stopped. So what do I do? 2. What's the other big issue these days? Remember when the pandemic hit and we're all talking about becoming a virtual or remote agent? Well, AI has been much in the news and much on people's tongues.

**** NOTICE: We recorded this pod using Zoom audio but had a few technical issues. The audio quality wasn’t great and at some point, Zoom stopped recording all together. We were able to piece together a good episode but not the whole conversation. I’m super bummed, but we all agreed, even if its not the full conversation, it’s still something we wanted to put out there. **** Systemic racism has its roots in housing. Government policies deliberately disadvantaged Black and Brown people, and that’s led to segregated communities, educational inequalities and a substantial wealth gap. So, what can we do as an industry to address these disparities and better serve ALL of our clients? On this episode of Industry Relations, Emily Chenevert, CEO of the Austin Board of Realtors, and Kenya Burrell-VanWormer, SVP of Diversity Solutions at T3 Sixty, join Rob and Greg to discuss the history of race discrimination in real estate, explaining how practices like redlining have stunted the Black community’s capacity to build generational wealth and why industry organizations need to recognize and publicly denounce the racism of the past. Emily and Kenya share how the industry has improved, describing NAR’s shift to prioritize diversity and inclusion and exploring what organized real estate might do to further educate association members around equity moving forward. Listen in for insight on tackling home ownership disparities and learn what is (and what isn’t) our responsibility to do as an industry to address racial inequality in America. What’s Discussed: The history of race discrimination in real estate (i.e.: redlining, racist land use patterns) How racism around housing has stunted the Black community’s ability to build generational wealth The government’s role in creating a wealth gap in the US Why organizations like NAREB exist independently from NAR Greg’s call for industry organizations to recognize and denounce the racism of the past (and what that might look like) The shift from diversity and inclusion as an afterthought to a need within NAR How we might educate association members around issues of equity The lack of diversity among the leadership in real estate associations and MLSs Why 25 of the 26 agents caught steering on Long Island are still working Kenya’s insight on tackling home ownership disparity by way of education, opportunity and resources Emily’s experience with difficult conversations on race as Austin overhauls its land development code What it’s our responsibility to do as an industry to address racial inequality (and what’s not in our lane) Connect with Emily: Austin Board of Realtors Emily on LinkedIn Scratch That Podcast Connect with Kenya: T3 Sixty Kenya on LinkedIn Connect with Rob and Greg: Rob’s Website Greg’s Website Resources: Michelle Mills Clement The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America by Richard Rothstein How the GI Bill’s Promise Was Denied to a Million Black WWII Veterans’ in History Discrimination in Levittown National Association of Real Estate Brokers Richard Rothstein Eddie S.

Out of 565 Multiple Listing Services nationwide, 82 serve less than 100 brokers and agents. Unsurprisingly, this means that the nation’s 20 largest Multiple Listing Services serve over 50 percent of the nation’s total MLS subscribers. These statistics didn’t exist a year ago, but thanks to the Real Estate Almanac, the disparity is clear. Now that we understand the scale of the issue, how can we make changes to better serve agents, brokers, and their clients?

T3 Sixty is an industry-leading management consultancy and research company that focuses on residential real estate brokerage.

In 2018, he joined T3 Sixty. On this episode of Listing Bits, Clint discusses T3 Sixty’s latest undertaking: Real Estate Almanac. He explains where the idea for a comprehensive list of MLSs and associations came from and talks about some of the surprises that came out of that list. Listen in for Clint’s insight on the future of the Real Estate Almanac and how the data it consolidates will impact the industry, and the nation as a whole. What’s Discussed: How Clint got involved in T3 Sixty What the Real Estate Almanac is and what it says about the industry Why T3 Sixty put the latest MLS and association list together What issues MLSs and associations are facing nationwide Whether Clint thinks NAR membership will stagnate, drop, or continue increasing How the list of MLSs and associations has shrunken in five years Why MLSs choose not to consolidate How smaller MLSs might tackle some of the issues they face What’s next for the Real Estate Almanac Resources: T3 Sixty Real Estate Almanac Top Associations/MLS Connect with Clint: Follow Clint on Twitter Follow Clint on LinkedIn

Over My 13 years of helping Realtors build #MindShare, I have seen many people come an go in this business.Not having the right plan, the right goals, or any goals for that matter, and not setting themselves up with the right systems was the downfall for most of them. Over the past number of years, the concept of a Real Estate Team has grown exponentially. And now many Realtors are looking over at 'The Jones's' thinking "I want that too", "they look like they're having so much fun over there", and "they seem like they do a lot of business". These are all lines I have heard many times, and I don't fault the perception. As Humans, we like to be with other people - its purely the idea of not feeling so alone. It's comforting. On the other hand there are those who figure, "hey if I can Team up, then I don't have to work so hard", and to you I say WRONG!How many times I have been approached by 2 people or more who want to Team up or Partner up, whatever you want to call it, yet they have no idea where to start, or even why they're doing it.
