Webinars will be held in regions around the world to address conditions unique to each area. In addition, online courses are being developed that explore elements of the various models, ranging from <a href=\"real-trending-episode-18\/\">iBuyers to technology companies<\/a> to virtual brokers.<\/p>\n<p>According to Leading Real Estate Companies of the World President\/CEO Paul Boomsma, the initiative is a natural progression for the global network and its member companies.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe are a collection of the world\u2019s best brokerages, which all began as \u2018start-up\u2019 companies.&nbsp; And just like any good start-up, they keep their eyes on the latest trends. Our firms have always embraced innovation, and that is what has contributed to their enduring success. While some start-ups fail, ours found their success and continue to capitalize on it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Paul Boomsma<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In today\u2019s environment, that means being familiar not only with what these new competitors offer and what needs they are addressing for agents and consumers, but also paying close attention to claims about market share, technology offerings and more. As Boomsma notes, \u201cWith so much buzz in the industry about \u2018disruptors,\u2019 we need to focus on the facts, which is why Mike\u2019s evidence-based approach to understanding and evaluating the competitive landscape will be especially valuable for our members.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Leading Real Estate Companies of the World also keeps a pulse on current and future trends through its own global membership, which spans six continents. Events like its recent <a href=\"https:\/\/symposium.leadingre.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Global Symposium<\/a> in Barcelona, Spain and Immersion Conference in Kuala Lumpur brought the opportunity for members to share first-hand insights.
