Brokerages run on agent productivity
There are 110k+ US brokerages - RE/MAX, Keller Williams, Compass, eXp, Side, plus 80% independent. Broker-owners care about three things: (1) recruiting and retaining producing agents, (2) compliance + transaction management, (3) per-agent margin. Pitch software in those terms or get ignored.
CRE is a separate story
On the commercial side, office vacancy hit 21% in Q1 2026 - the highest in tracked history. Class B+C office in second-tier downtowns is above 30%. Brokerages handling commercial leasing are restructuring around this; the residential side keeps eating the commercial side's lunch.
MLS + transaction integration is mandatory
Dotloop, Skyslope, BackAgent, Lone Wolf - name them by name in your pitch. Generic "MLS integration" doesn't convince a designated broker who is responsible for compliance.
