Marketing, and winning attention as a real estate professional, is harder than ever. It's harder than it was yesterday, way harder than a year ago and ridiculously harder than five years ago.

A joke among digital marketers goes… “The best place to hide a dead body is on the second page of Google.”
Nobody looks there, right?
So when our real estate portals release new products, such as Agency Profiles, they say help us rank higher in search results, what’s the point of having our own real estate website anymore?

In this episode of Real Estate Pros, we discuss why there's no use competing on price when it comes to disruption in real estate and what New York taxi drivers can teach us about their continued success in an already disrupted industry.
