There's a lot of BUZZ around Zillow and iBuyer. Let's just step back and see what happened. What is an iBuyer? What did Zillow do right? What did Zillow do wrong? What does this mean for the industry, Zillow, and realtors moving forward? LISTEN UP. The real estate game is changing - screw that - it already has and no-one is REALLY talking about it....until now. Real Estate of Tomorrow holds conversations on crucial topics needed to successfully navigate the shifting real estate industry. In this bi-weekly podcast we break down the massive shifts in real estate and tell you the specific steps you need to take to kick a$$ in the coming years, just like we are. We're your hosts, Edgardo Balentine and Scott DiGregorio, giving you the rundown on real estate from decades of experience and the new generation. Essentially, fin techs are trying to take over the process, and cut real estate agents out of it. Tools like iBuyer are convenient, but a risk for low balling from a consumer perspective. So why was Zillow and iBuyer an epic pair that fell apart? Zillow made real estate SEXY. iBuyer is less sexy in this current market. The market conditions right now, kind of punched them in the face, which RUINED the magic. Zillow's largest source of revenue was iBuyer, so a reunion of the two can't be ruled out. So get started on a plan. Basically, realtors now have time to change their game, tactics, and value proposition in response to fin techs taking over. The opportunity is there if you choose to see it.
