In response to current conditions, businesses and REALTORS® need to react to a new world, though temporary, where human interaction is limited or discouraged. The real estate industry, built on relationships, will be significantly impacted. But within adverse conditions come opportunities and new human behaviours. For REALTORS®, maintaining a personal connection is crucial.
The CREA REAL TIME podcast provides an opportunity to give REALTORS® insight into how they can transform to be more adept in a digital retail environment.
Representatives from various levels within the industry provide guidance, clarity and give CREA members real world tools to implement.
In Episode 3 of REAL TIME, we talk with Steve Murray, president and co-founder of REAL Trends, about the foundational elements of real estate – what’s changed, what hasn’t – and how trust and communication continue to play a vital role in safeguarding REALTOR® success.
