Real Estate Marketing & Beyond
In the dark ages before widespread high-speed internet was a thing, people had to get their knowledge from physical sources. They had to travel, sometimes long distances, to borrow books from the library, to consult with advisors, to attend lectures and conferences, and so on. Nowadays, people are utterly spoiled with information. Every question you have, you can find the answer on the internet.
There is one caveat, however: the internet is thoroughly saturated with information, and not all of that information is dependable. While there are a lot of brilliant minds to be found and picked online, there are also just as many, if not more, quacks and frauds spreading mediocre advice or even misinformation with undue confidence. No industry is safe from bad advice, whether it be health, relationships, or—you guessed it—real estate.
