Not any more.

Hi Annette.

I am glad you posted that again about Zillow. Some members at the Re/Max office of yours are amazing. For example John Dietz. Very professional!

I do not post as much here at Active Rain due to Zillow using our data for monetary gain. I post mostly on my self-hosted Wordpress blogs.

I do not buy any leads from them using MY listings that I worked so hard to get as I am a small independent brokerage. I was with Coldwell Banker in Clearwater and Tarpon Springs for seven years and every listing I get is a struggle only to have Zillow turn around and have the audacity to charge us for our data LOL

Thank you for pointing this out yet again.

To answer your question... yes. I try to learn one new thing every day irrelevant of the topic.

Absolutely yes!!! If you are not learning and growing you are driving yourself to extinction

Annette, if you have something to say and share with the world, do it.

I would read it. I'm open to anything and willing to learn and use( if it works for the local market).

I hear a lot of real estate agents who say they're interested in learning something new.  But when you read agent blogs and comments, you get a different picture altogether.  

In general, I believe most of agents want to be lifelong learners, but are resistant to technology and many new ideas.  In part, this is the fault of brokers who pressure their agents to use "tried-and-true methods" of prospecting, rather than experiment with anything that is relatively new.

Annette,

Annette, I'm always willing to learn something new.  Especially if it allows me to work faster, cheaper, easier and better!  

I would absolutely love to learn some new approaches to the tasks we perform weekly. Technology has drastically changed the industry and how people do things. Many of the old ways don't work when they once did.

You can pubish material on google's blogger platorm, and reddit to name two...maybe even sumit it to one of the realtor manazines?

i allways want to learn something new, does not mean i will put it to work but its great to increase my knowledge.thanks Annette have a great day

Always learning.  I want to be better even when I am old

My first answer is I always want to learn someting new, and we make a point of it, every signle day.  What I don't understand is your comment re: Zillow.  How do they fit into this?  Do you think they have the time to glean materials from these Q&A's and make someting of it?  A

Always learning, always growing.

To learn is to grow. Some people do not have a desire to grow.
