Real estate leaders across the U.S. have had to confront new ways of doing business in 2024, as the policies relating to the class-action compensation lawsuit went into effect. This chapter presents the playbook for how leaders of brokerages, MLSs and Realtor associations can win in the new landscape.
Many in the industry have been waiting for the market to return to a pre-pandemic normal. However, years-long low inventory, low affordability, high demand, rising interest rates and reformulated buyer compensation structure are, taken together, requiring a fresh look at how the market works. This chapter identifies the metrics to focus on and what they suggest is in real estate's future.
T3 Sixty has embarked on a foundational piece of new research, as an update to the landmark DANGER Report, that uncovers the opportunities today's leaders have to create a more profitable, resilient industry for years to come. Insights will be distilled from dozens of the industry's most powerful leaders.
In the age of AI, data has become extremely valuable currency. MLSs and brokerages face an immense opportunity to uncover new business opportunities and better serve their customers and clients with smart, clear applications of data in new ways. This chapter outlines a smart conceptual framework for understanding real estate data, its uses, players and current and future applications.
