Real estate stands at a critical crossroads where traditional models crumble while the industry debates what truly serves consumers best. As Michelle and Ashley dive into the aftermath of the NAR conference in DC, they unpack the heated battle between industry giants over how properties should be marketed.
The clear cooperation controversy has Zillow advocating for all listings to remain on the MLS while Compass champions seller choice – but which approach truly puts clients first? Beyond the corporate posturing lies a deeper question about whether we're legislating against bad behavior at the expense of legitimate business practices. When policy creates situations where agents can show properties but not write offers, something has clearly gone awry.
Meanwhile, the traditional brokerage model faces extinction. With vanishing profit margins, brokerages can no longer provide the leadership, education, and support agents desperately need. This vacuum contributes to "quiet quitting" – with an estimated 50% of realtors disengaging from their careers due to inadequate training and mentorship. Professional organizations like the Women's Council of Realtors and local associations are stepping up to fill this void, leveraging their collective bargaining power to negotiate better deals on technology and services.
For agents navigating this shifting landscape, the message is clear: if you're not receiving adequate support from your broker, seek it elsewhere – whether through realtor organizations or coaching programs. As Michelle puts it, "Success leaves clues," and following those who've successfully adapted may be your best path forward in this rapidly evolving industry.
