This week on The Real Word, Byron Lazine and Nicole White start the conversation with a couple of articles on Homes.com—one highlighting the progress it’s made in the real estate portal race, while Zillow continues to dominate, and the other focused on a BAM article by Ray Ellen where Homes.com’s CEO responds to claims that it’s “stealing leads” from agents. 

Next up is a Realtor.com article revealing “the one listing photo that can make or break a sale,” according to professional real estate photographers. 

Finally, Byron and Nicole react to a YouTube Short where Ryan Serhant—asked what he would tell someone wanting to make $1 million in real estate—advised against immediately going into real estate investing. 

Stay to the end to hear Byron’s and Nicole’s answers to the question, “What’s the quickest way to earn $1 million in real estate right now?”
