In this episode I chat with the ZillowKiller himself, James Rembert. He and I talk in depth about how to get leads by focusing more on conversations, leveraging attention by using video to answer questions, and weaponizing the industry to so not be easily taken advantage of! James Rembert, Founder of DigitalNatives Inc & The ZillowKiller brand, is a talented designer and trained marketing strategist who began his journey as a licensed Realtor in New Jersey. His natural transition to marketing and advertising was birthed out of the misleading and confusing information offered to the real estate industry.

While setting out to solve the puzzle of lead generation for his own business, James was able to change the landscape of the real estate marketing industry by not only making lead generation easier to understand but also making it accessible.
