Byron Lazine and Nicole White discuss why agent professionalism has become a bigger concern for brokers than affordability and AI, and what that says about the future of the real estate industry. They also break down training and competency standards, broker accountability, how social media is shaping the reputation of agents, and what professionals need to do to prove their value to consumers.
