WATCH: Broker Public Portal with Homesnap - Take Charge of Your Listings

Paying too much for your leads? How does a price tag of $0 sound? That's how much agents and brokers across the country are paying, thanks to the Broker Public Portal with Homesnap.

Available to over 1,000,000 agents, the Broker Public Portal is an industry-lead initiative that's upending the dominance of portals like Zillow--and ending the need for agents to pay for leads generated from their own listings.

In a webinar last week, we learned all about the Broker Public Portal with Homesnap and what it can do for brokerages and their agents. Watch the recording below to hear from David Howell of McEnearny Associates and see a demo of Homesnap Pro and all its best features. Then, be sure to claim your share of the 1,000,000 free leads generated by Homesnap each year!
