Building A Personal Brand Online With Brian Gardner

Technology and social media have completely changed the landscape for buyers, sellers, and agents, causing a seismic shift.

On the one hand, younger entrepreneurs are entering the real estate market and bringing their digital expertise with them. Simultaneously, millennials have become the single largest buyer demographic, accounting for nearly 25% of all sellers, and relying on the Internet to get things done. If you, as a real estate agent, aren’t keeping up with this shift, you run the risk of fading to the background and not being seen.

Personal branding, and branding in general are now more important than ever. Your competition is moving quickly building out their websites and social media presence and making a name for themselves.

Brian Gardner is co-founder of Agent Engine. They assist real estate agents and other industry professionals in establishing a digital presence, utilising the power of technology and social media to build (and grow) their business. Brian joins The Weekly Boost to discuss his personal branding expertise as well as his thoughts on the future of the real estate industry and developing a strong online presence.
