Buyer’s agents need to stand out to attract clients. This has always been true to a certain extent. But, I believe this will become even more important on August 17th and in the future.
A strong Unique Client Value (UCV) is essential for success, especially with the upcoming changes in compensation. Let’s explore how to define and communicate your UCV to win over buyers.
