 Okay so I just got this email from realtor.com and I just couldn't help but to laugh as I was reading this thing because they're literally throwing Zillow under the bus and they're doing the same thing if not even worse. Let me read this email to you. So I get this email and the subject of the email is disappointed by Zillow's announcement and so that's going to catch my attention right from realtor.com so open it up and it literally says 87 percent of real estate pros surveyed say Zillow entering the brokerage space is negative for the real estate industry at large at realtor.com we're dedicated to supporting your business not competing with it if you're ready to ditch impressions and focus on leads now is the time to make a switch for a limited time we're offering up to 20 off connections plus our all-in-one lead solution and then they have some testimonial here at the bottom I just think it's so funny that realtor.com is literally calling Zillow out and basically throwing him under the bus and talking a little trash I like to see this actually I like to see realtor.com throwing a little shade publicly at Zillow I want to see where this thing goes I want to see if Zillow punches back and jabs back at realtor.com but in terms of the lead generation I also did a little research on reviews for realtor.com here lately and found nothing but negative reviews if you look up reviews for realtor.com lead generations it's absolutely horrible same thing with Zillow so these two companies are doing the exact same thing okay but here lately I'm getting a few comments here and there from agents talking about what if Zillow takes over the industry what if Zillow replaces real estate agents and I'm here to tell you that that is absolutely not going to happen there's no way it could happen I see absolutely nothing on the horizon that could even challenge the existence of real estate agents all Zillow is doing is they created a brokerage okay where agents can literally work as an agent under their brokerage just like all the million other brokerages out there in the world okay if Zillow is going to take over the industry that would mean all the millions of agents would literally have to work for Zillow as an agent in their brokerage by choice do you think that all the agents a hundred percent of them are going to move their license over to Zillow as a brokerage and work for Zillow absolutely not a very small percentage of agents will actually do that I think what they're going to do is they're going to give leads only to agents that is in their brokerage okay and I think that's probably what they should do hey come to our brokerage they're going to take agents that are currently buying leads they're going to reach out to them and say hey you've been buying leads from us for a while you know we're going to start restricting it to only agents who are working for our brokerage how about just come over here to our brokerage and we'll continue to give you these leads I think that's what's going to happen and I've actually had agents reach out to me and tell me they've been approached by Zillow with that exact same lingo furthermore as far as replacing real estate agents they're actually giving real estate agents a place to work they're not doing anything even remotely close to replacing real estate agents listen guys there is no way that you can replace the work that real estate agents do for their clients for their customers for the industry okay there's no way you can replace everything that we do as a real estate agent I know a lot of people out there think that real estate agents don't do much and all they do is just wake up in the morning and sign a few documents and make thousands of dollars but that's actually not how it works it is a very grueling job it's not roofing it's not plumbing it's not working on an oil rig okay but it is very it is it's very tedious it is a lot of hard work and it's the same thing in a white collar environment it's just as hard as any blue collar job there's a lot of steps involved there's a lot of work involved there's a lot of experience that has to happen on the agents part to know how to handle certain situations there's a lot to it there's a lot of liability there's tons of things that cannot be replaced and that's why real estate agents still exist and for the most part have the same exact commission I'm still getting five and six percent just like I did back in 2002 when I started might might that go down a little sure but it's not going to go to zero and it's going to continue to be an extremely lucrative business so we'll see where this Zillow versus realtor.com thing goes it's going to be real interesting to watch if I see something out there I'm going to come right to you and let you know about it because I think it's a little fun to be honest with you but if there's anything in the world I can do for you whatsoever please reach out just shoot me a comment below or hit me up on Instagram I'm still answering all my messages there and we'll see you guys on the next video let's go
