Giant tech companies have introduced business models with fancy tools that encourage home buyers and sellers to go it alone, without the guidance of an agent.

Use the one tool and the one method that gives you an accurate price based on real time MLS data to create trust in pricing.
Book Excerpt
The Future of Real Estate Home Pricing
Though accurately pricing properties is a big part of real estate agents’ jobs, their role in real estate transactions is multifaceted on both sides of a deal—buying and selling. They share their knowledge of the character and amenities of the different neighborhoods. They manage the negotiations and paperwork of a property transaction. They preview and stage homes. They assist buyers and sellers with a variety of property-related tasks. They often help solve critical issues with a property’s title, appraisals, inspections, loans, etc. However, all of this value can become overshadowed if agents cannot convince their clients that they know what they are doing when it comes to pricing their property. This is why it is critical that we find a viable pricing model for real estate agents to use.
