WATCH: What's Your 2021 Zillow Plan?
The real estate landscape has shifted tremendously in the past year with a major new brokerage entering the space. That's right, we're talking about Zillow.
Since this development, we've heard from brokerages and agents who are worried about how to compete. The key, as Marilyn Wilson mentioned in this recent webinar, is that you "have to pull yourself up by your bootstraps" and remember that individual brokerages and agents have unique skills, serve in a unique position, and have personal relationships with people in their communities. In the webinar recording below, we'll show you exactly how to leverage those strengths.
Joining us on this webinar is special guest Franklin Stoffer of Delta Media Group. He shared five tips and strategies that brokerages and agents can use to compete against Zillow and other disruptors in 2021. Watch the video below to learn more:

WATCH: Get to Know Your Brokerage's Secret Weapon, the All-New Broker Public Portal with Homesnap
If you felt the ground shake earlier this month, don't worry -- that was just the All-New Homesnap Pro making landfall.
On February 10, Homesnap launched a massive update to its platform, including its most notable new feature, the Likelihood to List score. This feature uses data science to predict which current homeowners are most likely to move soon. That means real estate pros can save time and money by ditching the old "spray and pray" approach to marketing and targeting only those homeowners who are likely to list in the near future.
We took a deep dive into the Likelihood to List score, as well as Homesnap's other new features and its Broker Productivity Platform in a webinar this week. Learn more about how the All-New Broker Public Portal with Homesnap can become your brokerage's secret weapon for national listing exposure and lead generation.

WATCH: Join the Broker Public Portal Movement -- Find Out What the Buzz Is All About
Property portals dominate the consumer search landscape, but they're an ever-increasing expense for brokers and agents. In fact, Zillow's latest quarterly report said that agents spending $5k per month or more increased 58 percent!
There's got to be a better way--and there is. It's called the Broker Public Portal (BPP), an industry-run portal built by "the people who sell homes, not ads." Leads are free to agents, and the BPP operates under Fair Display Guidelines.
We explored the Broker Public Portal movement last week in webinar with broker and association guests from MRED, NWMLS and Homesnap, the BPP's technology partner and consumer-facing brand.
Watch the recorded webinar below to learn what the BPP is, how you can join the movement, and how the BPP revolution is already well underway--BPP with Homesnap is already available to 900,00 agents nationwide. Check out the video to learn more!

[Video] Are Competitors Eating Your Lunch?
Are competing brokerages getting leads off your listings? You may want to look at your systems and processes. But if you run an otherwise tight ship, it's probably time to think about what's happening with your listings online.
The online listing landscape is shifting rapidly, though. With the looming termination of ListHub's relationship with Zillow and Trulia, brokers and MLSs are looking at alternatives to syndication to get their listings to portals. One of those methods is direct data feeds.
On Wednesday, we hosted a panel discussion of four industry experts to explore the ins and outs of direct-to-portal listing feeds. If you weren't able to attend the event, you catch what you missed via the recording below:
