Real estate is evolving rapidly, but too many leaders are focused on solving yesterday’s problems instead of anticipating tomorrow’s. 

We hear a lot about tech disruption, and institutional buyers but no one has zeroed in on the most pivotal problem - the supply/demand imbalance in housing. 

What will this issue mean for real estate agents? How can leaders equip their teams for tomorrow’s hurdles? 

In today's episode, we're joined by kwELITE's new team leader and CEO, Dakotah Smith. He talks about his journey. and what leaders need to be paying attention to right now.
