Eric Simon is the founder of the Broke Agent, a humorous outlet for agents dealing with the stress of their work. He's also the cofounder of BAM (Broke Agent Media) and serves as the organization's chief of content. In this episode, we ask Eric about the origins of the Broke Agent and the evolution that led to the building of BAM. We also get his expert opinion about some of the hottest topics in real estate: whether AI is a threat or blessing to agents, if virtual brokerages will make traditional brokerages obsolete, and how agents should be using social media. Listen to discover the smart social media strategy that will build your audience with lightning speed, two things you should be doing to keep your content relevant and ahead of the curve, and the best social media channel for converting leads (and why it works so well).
