Summary

The future of real estate is up for grabs as Zillow and Trulia launch into an advertising war to capture overwhelming marketshare in 2014. What matters to agents is WHY they're doing it: simply put, as the economy recovers, major real estate players are positioning themselves to be on the ground floor of the coming boom market. It's been said that "luck" is when opportunity meets preparedness - and as industry leaders get ready for this new market's opportunities, agents should prepare as well by having the knowledge and systems in place to dominate their local real estate marketplace. In this episode, Tim & Julie Harris discuss the Zillow/Trulia battle, and why it matters to individual agents. Just like the dot-com boom, there are always bellwether events that signal opportunity. For agents, this is one of those events. Take Action Now: Schedule a Free 1-on-1 Coaching Call or Register for a Coaching Webinar Learn more about us at timandjulieharris.com

very much to today's show. We're talking about the fact that Trulia, Zillow, Realtor.com,

0:52.3

are preparing to spend tens of millions of dollars, like a massive

0:56.9

amount of money, starting radio ads and TV ads, not to get all of you to be subscribers,

1:02.5

but to get consumers to go to their sites and start dealing home.

1:06.3

So, Julie and I are going to dig deep into that, and we're going to take a stance on this

1:10.4

that, frankly, as always, is very agent-centric, and will hopefully benefit all of you as practitioners and business owners.

1:17.5

And, you know, I think it's going to be illuminating and probably a little controversial.

1:21.6

We always like to take the stance in everything we do, coaching, presenting this radio show, real estate insider

information for the agent.

1:35.9

Agent-centric is what our coaching business is all about, which means we put you first, not

1:41.2

the industry, sorry, not your broker, sorry, not the national real estate brands,

1:46.6

not doing that, nothing is going to come before what's in the best interest of the agent.

1:50.6

So with that in mind, Julie, before we get to today's topic, any interesting stories you want

1:55.0
