WATCH: How to Solve Your Top Two Agent Challenges, Leads and Referrals, with Broker Public Portal with Homesnap

When the real estate community in the Chicago metro area joined the Broker Public Portal (BPP), a pleasant surprise happened in many agents' bottom line: they were able to save upwards of $3000 per month on lead generation.

What made that possible and how can brokerages reap the same benefits for their own agents? That's what we explored in a recent webinar with special guest Paul Wells, a Chicago area broker/owner, and executives from Homesnap, the BPP's technology partner.
