The only thing that hurts more than seeing someone in our database choose to work with another agent is seeing them opt to pay a 9% convenience fee to iBuyers when we’re debating dropping our commissions just to stay afloat. 

The reality is, tech companies are coming for our business, and getting results while doing it. What can traditional agents do to combat their attempts? Is there a way to beat them at their own game?
