Brokers need to grasp expectations for both groups while balancing needs of their established ranks.<\/p>\n<p>This was the topic of discussion at our debut <a href=\"http:\/\/nextgenbrokerage.com\/\">Beta Broker<\/a> Hangout earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bhgrealestate.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"homepage noopener\">Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate<\/a> President and CEO Sherry Chris hosted two brokers, Vanessa Bergmark of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redoakrealty.com\/home\/\">Red Oak Realty<\/a> in the San Francisco Bay Area and Leighton Dees of <a href=\"http:\/\/bhggo.com\/\">Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Generations<\/a> in Mobile, AL.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bhgrecareer.com\/bebetterblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2013\/06\/beta-broker-hangout.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-9522\" alt=\"beta broker hangout\" src=\"https:\/\/bhgrecareer.com\/bebetterblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2013\/06\/beta-broker-hangout-300x193.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"323\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>During the hour-long discussion, the brokers talked about interesting ways they&#8217;ve <strong>engaged agents and consumers<\/strong> and what has worked for them.<\/p>\n<h1>What is &#8220;Next Generation&#8221;?<\/h1>\n<p>Leighton pointed out that the term is not necessarily defined by age. Rather, it&#8217;s more of a mindset.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;This group of people have been influenced by technology and use it in their everyday interactions,&#8221; he said. \u201cAnd because of this, they&#8217;ve grown to expect it in all facets of their lives, including their communication and transactions.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>They also value collaboration and new ways of thinking.<\/p>\n<h1>Open Workspace<\/h1>\n<p>Both Vanessa and Leighton operate what we call &#8220;next generation&#8221; brokerages. While Leighton&#8217;s brokerage is fairly new, technology-centered and made up primarily of younger agents, Red Oak&#8217;s story is a little different.<\/p>\n<p>Red Oak was already an established local brokerage in the San Francisco East Bay Area when Vanessa and her business partner took over the company in 2010. Since then they&#8217;ve created a blended culture of old and new.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;We have about 77 agents right now, and about 35-40 of them have been with the brokerage for 20-35 years,&#8221; Vanessa said.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>One of the things Vanessa&#8217;s team did to harvest this culture was <strong>create an open workspace.<\/strong>They moved one of their main offices to a new space and literally knocked down walls.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, the Red Oak office has become less of a quiet, working zone and more of a meeting and collaboration hub.<\/p>\n<p>Leighton also has a new workspace at Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Generations. The office has more of an open coffee shop feel than a standard office setting, he said.<\/p>\n<p>In this scenario, <strong>more collaboration is inevitable<\/strong>, which helps foster new ideas that lead to positive influence and efficiencies that can bring the industry forward.<\/p>\n<h1>Recruiting<\/h1>\n<p>For recruiting, Vanessa said she&#8217;s found that her <em>agents are her best recruiting tool.<\/em> When your agents are happy, others will notice. The environment you build will attract the right type of agent.<\/p>\n<p>Leighton has turned most of his marketing attention toward agents rather than consumers. &#8220;Focusing on them has given us more results in the end,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, he&#8217;s looked for ways to make agents feel special. In a recent marketing campaign, he featured individual agents as the stars of the ad. &#8220;We brought on about five new agents after that campaign,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Leighton also uses <a href=\"https:\/\/bhgrealestateblog.com\/2013\/04\/17\/leveraging-social-media-for-online-lead-generation\/\">social media<\/a> in his recruiting. He&#8217;s created various groups on Facebook, which have become effective ways to reach people. However, he made it clear that social media should not replace, but rather enhance interpersonal, one-on-one communications.<\/p>\n<h1>Position Your Brokerage as Next Generation<\/h1>\n<p>Red Oak has had a lot of success with public relations (PR) this year as a method for reaching consumers.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;We actively seek to get our brokerage in local market news stories,&#8221; Vanessa said. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>And it&#8217;s working. Red Oak was recently featured on CBS and has received a lot of additional press highlighting the brokerage\u2019s insights on local trends.<\/p>\n<p>That extra effort to try to relate to the consumer and help them understand what is happening in the California and local markets has made a big difference. It helps to build trust for a group that&#8217;s been highly suspicious since the downturn in 2007.<\/p>\n<p>PR also gives a brokerage the opportunity to show consumers that there&#8217;s still an art to what real estate professionals do, Vanessa added.<\/p>\n<p>PR is one of the best ways to position a brokerage as experts at what they do. And the cost associated with it is minimal in comparison to advertising.<\/p>\n<h1>Customer service<\/h1>\n<p>At Red Oak, Vanessa&#8217;s team has pulled a lot of responsibilities off their agents&#8217; shoulders to instead create solid resources they can take advantage of in-house.<\/p>\n<p>They have an advisory team that meets every month to go over what their agents need to serve customers in the best ways possible.<\/p>\n<p>Red Oak also conducts surveys at the end of every transaction to discover what they did right and what they could&#8217;ve done better.<\/p>\n<p>Leighton&#8217;s team consists of an in-house staff that focuses on producing assets for agents to help them get their job done, and done well. For example, they produce a video for every listing and send it to the agent who can then send to the client directly.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It makes clients feel special about their listing,&#8221; he said, as they do this for every home regardless of size or value.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h1>Bottom line<\/h1>\n<p>The <strong>next generation is the future of the real estate business.<\/strong> We received some great success strategies and tidbits from the participating brokerages. We&#8217;ll continue to post on this topic and others related to growing and evolving with changing times.<\/p>\n<h3>Join us for our next <a title=\"beta broker hangout\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/b\/115360806748002908670\/events\/c3d1be9s34kt2d9m81qfcnqpt2k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Beta Broker Hangout<\/a> Monday, July 1, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. ET\/ 11:00 a.m. PT on Winning Mobile Strategies.<\/h3>\n<p>For more information on the Beta Brokerage Project, see NextGenBrokerage.com<\/p>\n<p>[ois skin=&#8221;Subscribe 1&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the top challenges brokers face today is attracting next gen\u00a0consumers and agents.
