Curious about how recent changes in real estate regulations could impact your next home purchase? On today’s Good Neighbor Podcast, we promise to keep you ahead of the curve. Join us as we sit down with Robert Washington, broker for Savvy Buyers Realty, to dissect the new mandates from the National Association of Realtors. Discover how the requirement for a buyer's agreement before property viewings could change the dynamics between buyers and agents. Robert also unveils his flat-fee brokerage model, designed to offer more transparent and customizable real estate services.
Ever wonder what it’s like to shift from the high-stakes world of hedge funds to the bustling real estate markets of Florida? Our guest took that leap and shares his journey from a hedge fund in Dallas to building his own brokerage in St. Petersburg. We dive into the challenges and perks of running a lean operation without a team of agents, examine the influence of real estate giants like BlackRock on property values, and debate how new regulations could reshape the industry landscape. This candid discussion offers valuable insights into the grit and commitment needed to thrive in real estate.
Looking toward the future, we explore innovative strategies for expanding a real estate business, focusing on automation and franchise models. Imagine creating a standardized, turnkey brokerage system that can seamlessly launch in new markets. We also discuss the importance of flexibility, having a backup plan, and leveraging business coaching for sustained success. Learn how collaboration and smart planning can help navigate the unpredictable waters of entrepreneurship, and get a glimpse into the personal side of business life, including how our guest unwinds in scenic St. Pete, Florida.
