The Notorious POD Ep 18: Agent Teams, Zillow, Competition with Jeff Sibbach and Phil Sexton

In this episode, I speak with Jeff Sibbach and Phil Sexton of the Sibbach Team in Phoenix, AZ.

We talk about the realities of today’s real estate, how top agent teams are functioning today, and why he believes Zillow is in fact a competitor. We get into a lot of issues including data, IDX, competition in real estate, technology, big aggregators, and consumer behavior. We debate and disagree, and agree, and hopefully educate ourselves and others.

In fact, there’s rather a lot of civil debate in this one, because both Phil and Jeff are smart, kind and civil individuals who don’t agree with me on everything. That’s exactly how things should be.

Once called "a revolutionary in a really nice suit", people often wonder what I do for a living because I have the temerity to not talk about my clients and my work for clients. Suffice to say that I do strategy work for some of the largest organizations and companies in real estate, as well as some of the smallest startups and agent teams, but usually only on projects that interest me with big implications for reforming this wonderful, crazy, lovable yet frustrating real estate industry of ours.

  1. There is a lot of ‘woulda-coulda-shoulda’ from these two.

    It’s rampant in Realtor Land.

    Whining, that for years ‘Tech’ projected the next logical step = Data-ibuyer…..

    Brokerages are just relics of a maladaptive, largely tech-illiterate trade industry full of idiots that cling to the Bullshit “as a realtor I bring VALUE with my Bullshit, Bloated fees. Oh, you found a property to buy, OFF OF THE MLS, and I really need to do nothing? My fee just raised .25% more….”

    Now take your 90 hours of education to become a licensed real agent… take that ANYWHERE else and try to clear 50k a year….. Not happening.

    Get a clue clones. You can be replaced by Python script.
