Here is a quick recommendation to check out Glenn Kelman’s post on The Next Generation of Real Estate Agents.

Glenn is the CEO of Redfin and shared the results of an agent survey his company recently commissioned.

It was an industry-wide survey and the findings are extensive. 

It covers information from agents about commissions, hours, sales volume, returns on lead-generation investments, income, career satisfaction, customer demographics, and diversity.

We’ll delve into some of the results next week, but it’s worth reading through quickly on your own.

From a high level, how do the results compare to what you’re experiencing in your company?

A big thanks to Redfin for commissioning this survey and openly sharing the results.
