Technology is changing real estate and information sharing. Well-paid realtors can’t just sit back and wait for buyers and sellers to show up. How do they remain relevant and fundamental in transactions? Today, Toby Mathis of Anderson Business Advisors talks to Justin Stoddart of Think Bigger Real Estate. Justin focuses on business development by serving as a business consultant to help real estate agents better serve their clients.
