Change is Inevitable
As Summer moves into Fall, it is apparent that change is inevitable. The change of season is a necessary phenomenon as is change in our industry. Due to the cooperative nature of our industry, successful adoption of change depends on how well we work together in our market. Nothing has demonstrated change to me more than my most recent trip on behalf of SIBOR.
Sandy Krueger and I just returned from NAR's new technology conference called iOi (Innovation, Opportunity, and Investment), August 28-30 in San Francisco.

There is No 'I' in TEAM
You know the scenario because you have heard it so many times before. Licensees at a firm decide they will join forces and work as a Team. They start the relationship without memorializing their understanding and what is to occur in the event a member of the Team leaves either the Team or the firm. There is no written agreement as to how commissions are split, the status of the transactions when a Team member departs, how the commission is to be paid in that event, under what circumstances can a Team member be asked to leave the Team and who has the authority to make that determination.

August 2018
Rising home prices, higher interest rates and increased building material costs have pressured housing affordability to a ten-year low, according to the National Association of Home Builders. Keen market observers have been watching this situation take shape for quite some time. Nationally, median household income has risen 2.6% in the last 12 months, while home prices are up 6.0%. That kind of gap will eventually create fewer sales due to affordability concerns, which is happening in several markets, especially in the middle to high-middle price ranges.

How to Boost Your Value Proposition Internationally
As a Frenchman, wine has always been part of my culture, and the French have watched with interest at how wine drinking has become "a thing" in the U.S.
The French are also aware of Napa Valley, and we know this to be a luxurious area near San Francisco. For this reason, I thought Napa Valley would be a wonderful example of why U.S. luxury agents should share much more than just listings with international agents.

Tips for Using Instagram and Facebook Stories
The real estate agents and brokers who are making the most out of Instagram and Facebook are not just posting in the feed periodically.
Even when posting consistently, one of the things that will help you get more traction overall with Facebook and Instagram is to use Stories.
Those little bubbles at the top of your social media news feeds are prime real estate and a great opportunity to showcase your story behind the story.
