Three Untapped MLS Growth Opportunities?

To improve a business, it is common to focus on customer expansion, or delivering a wider array of services that your customers will pay for.

Three untapped areas for growth where most MLSs have not been successful are rentals, new home marketing, and commercial real estate. These are enormous categories in the real estate industry that have been asymmetrical because of the MLS core basis of cooperation and offer of compensation.

Make 2019 the Year You Really Pay Attention to Your Customers

There isn’t a company in real estate that does not believe that it pays attention to the needs of its customers.  We all want to think that every one of our customers would give us a 5-star rating, but we know deep down inside that is not the case.
