Leading the Charge in the Stop Zillow Movement – with Greg Hague- EP001


Online platforms like Amazon and Expedia have disrupted entire industries, taking down bookstores and travel agencies respectively in their rise to dominance. Now Zillow similarly threatens real estate—but there is one difference: Greg Hague is not going to take it lying down.

Greg recognized that had booksellers or travel agents organized under one umbrella and designed their own alternative online platforms, they might have taken back their businesses and survived the emergence of digital. He has organized the Stop Zillow Movement, an initiative to create an alternative platform for real estate that is owned and operated by realtors themselves, effectively removing the handcuffs that force agents to upload listings to a third-party site that misleads consumers and discredits the profession.

Greg is a real estate broker and attorney with 50-plus years in the industry and the founder of Real Estate Mavericks, a coaching firm that trains agents to build scalable businesses. Today, he joins Jeff to share his vision for the Stop Zillow Movement. He explains his take on why giving Zillow access to listing data was the single biggest business mistake of all time and offers his Plan to Save Real Estate, a vehicle that will attract buyers away from Zillow and give control back to real estate agents. Listen in to find out how you can get involved in the movement and gain access to the platform that celebrated its launch on February 19

    As a first time home buyer, I had many questions throughout the loan process. Not only did Michelle answer all of my questions, she also went above and beyond to ensure I understood and felt secure in my decisions. I will, happily, be recommending Michelle to everyone I know!

    Ralph is awesome to work with. He is prompt in returning messages and either had the answers to my questions or found them quickly. He is courteous, honest, direct and I trust his opinion. This is my third mortgage with Ralph and I plan on more. Honestly, there is no one else I would work with on a mortgage now!
