- 0:00So the inventory is very low right now, but that is primarily driven by
- 0:06the high interest right environment. And the connection between the two is as follows.
- 0:11If I built my house three years ago, five years ago, and
- 0:15I have a three percent interest mortgage, then I can't afoord to move.
- 0:21So if I make a lateral move, the cost is going to be astronomic.
- 0:24I'm gonna go. I'm paying three percent to playing eight percent. So

- 1:02hey, we're going to talk to somebody about Florida real estate, but more
- 1:06importantly about technology how it has changed the business. Ze fredis He's a neighbor
- 1:11of mine down in a Boca Raton, Florida, and the background of his
- 1:17picture is actually I want to call a shopping set entertainment center. It's kind
- 1:23of evolved into shopping center to an office complex called Meisner Park. If any
- 1:27of you were familiar with it, and Zev, you have a background in
- 1:33technology, you once upon a time worked for a GEU pretty much marketing software,
- 1:41and then you got into real estate. Kind of an interesting story.
- 1:45How did that happen? Right? So? I relocated from New York to
- 1:51Florida in the late nineties, and I had a goal of investing in real
- 1:55estate, residential real estate, just buying multiple and etch properties and renting them.
- 2:01So I bought a couple and I ran out of down payment money.
- 2:05So I took a day job in the field that I was trained in.
- 2:10So I kind a job with a local company. They ended up getting acquired
- 2:14by ge I climbed the ladder. I ended up being a product marketing manager
- 2:17for quite a successful launch enterprise software product. As I did that for a
- 2:23number of years, I traveled all around the world for them, and I
- 2:27realized that in doing so, I had put my real estate goals on back
- 2:32burner, and a number of years had gone by I had not bought another
- 2:36investment property. All the while my co workers were always picking my brain for
- 2:42I'm not going there. I was still trying to buy my first house.
- 2:44I heard Joe on three How'd you do it? Two thousand and five.
- 2:50I just decided to quit my day job and just focus on our real estate.
- 2:54So I kind of just fell into it, like most realtors do.
- 3:00I figured, if people ask me advice, if I can collect a commission,
- 3:02then I can deter or of ament my job search. So I did
- 3:12that a few times, and then I ran out of people to sell houses
- 3:14too. So I realized that I need to reach the masses. So I
- 3:17turned to what I know, which is technology. I put together a website,
- 3:21I did some search engine optimization that I started generating some leads, and
- 3:24the rest, as they say, is history. I built a huge business
- 3:29around that, all right. And so at one point you said, using
- 3:34technology, you were able to generate more leads than you could even deal with.
- 3:40Yeah. Sure, yeah, most people are trying to rely on the
- 3:45history of influence. But regard, no matter how big of a networker you
- 3:50are, no matter how big your social circles are, there still only so
- 3:53many people that you know personally, and after they all are settled into their
- 3:57new homes. You still need to make a living, but if you can
- 3:59reach some asses and the Internet is the way to do that, and then
- 4:02the sky's the limit. Really, So I just got people off the Internet
- 4:06wanting to see Holmes. I would go make them show them homes off the
- 4:10MLS, sell it to them like the commission, and then I would turn
- 4:13around and recruit the listing agent whose home I just sold with the promise of
- 4:17I'll give you leads because I have more than I can handle. And that's
- 4:23why I built the business. Fifty percent of all the deals in that company
- 4:28were company generated at these versus if you're looking in the brokeradge, it's ninety
- 4:32nine point nine nine percent agent generated. So most people, most agents,
- 4:38like we were talking pre call, like your average realtor didn't when he was
- 4:43three years old, you know, and kids are saying, I want to
- 4:46be a cop, but I want to be a fireman. He didn't say,
- 4:49gee, I want to be a a realtor, you know, a
- 4:53real estate right. So so you deal with a lot of and I'm not
- 4:59being to sparranging at all here, but you really deal with with like a
- 5:03lot of misfits, don't you you mean the realtors. Yeah, the realtors
- 5:06themselves. Yeah, yeah, yes, and yes. But you know,
- 5:11I'll tell you there's always, there's always you just have to look at it
- 5:15differently. So I come from New York. The work ethic in New York
- 5:18is much different than than yeah, here in Florida. He's gonna be New
- 5:25Yorker. As a fellow New Yorker, I'm laughing, Well, how long
- 5:30have you been down here? Well, I've been coming down since I was
- 5:33six. But but you know, it's always been my second home. My
- 5:39family lived here. My grandparents moved down in the sixties, my mother and
- 5:44sister moved here in the early eighties, and you know, it was always
- 5:48a lot like land of the slackers, right right, Dan. I think
- 5:54you know it's changing now, especially in the last three years with so many
- 5:58people migrating here from New York. I think that, you know, we've
- 6:00stepped up a lot. But but for many years, I agree, and
- 6:03younger people too, because it was always hey, God's waiting room, right
- 6:10correct. So the thing is, you know, coming down here from New
- 6:14York with my work ethic and everybody here's wearing flip flops and shorts. The
- 6:17short you know, there's a lot of misfits to deal with. But the
- 6:20flip side of that is it made it so much easier to be better than
- 6:26that. I simply put it, the real church community year was like the
- 6:31real church community in New York City. I think it would have been a
- 6:34lot harder for me to break into this business. Yeah, yeah, well,
- 6:41without saying anything disparaging. Look, Florida is a leisure based lifestyle,
- 6:46right, I mean I used to spend eighty percent of my time figuring out
- 6:51how to better my career, improve my career, make more money, and
- 6:57twenty percent on leisure activities. Now I spend eighty percent of my time planning
- 7:03my next fun outing and I spend twenty percent of my time on career.
- 7:09But I'm a lot better at this career than I used to be, So
- 7:14I don't need to spend the amount of time and I don't want to,
- 7:16you know, in different days of life. So I've been really successful.
- 7:21Competition is lacking, But nowadays, can you still use the same formula that
- 7:29you used back in twenty fourteen and achieve the same results. Is it more
- 7:33costly or do you have to change things? Right? So I believe that
- 7:39you can. I believe it's not as easy as it was back then.
- 7:43Competition certainly is more furious, but the reward is still there. And I
- 7:49know that because last time around I built my business, it was completely built
- 7:55on generating real estate leads online. The way you do that is through search
- 8:03engine optimization. So you try to rank on particular keywords related to the to
- 8:07the areas we're working. And there's something called keyword research, which we do
- 8:13when we're trying to identify the correct keywords. And the bottom line is,
- 8:16if you take the predominant keywords in this area for real estate and you do
- 8:20the keyword research, there's still the approximately the same amount of volume every month
- 8:26as there was twenty years ago. So the same amount of people pretty much
- 8:30go to Google every month and search for real estate, boat or a tone
- 8:33of or in any other made club as they did in two thousand and five.
- 8:39And there is still real estate companies like mine that are ranking. Yes,
- 8:43there's some big portal sites like the Real gen are common zero in those
- 8:46sites that dominate the first page of Google, but there's always a few local
- 8:50companies also on the first page of Google. So if if there are small,
- 8:56independent, local companies that are able to make it to the first page,
- 9:00and there's the surge volume is still there. The only stands to region
- 9:03the reason that if you can get yourself a seat at that table, you're
- 9:07on the same the same results and we did last Do you have to spend
- 9:11more money though to get the same results you used to? Yeah, more,
- 9:16more time, more money, and you got to be better, all
- 9:18right, So so more time, more money, but it's still profitable.
- 9:24Yeah, I mean, because think about it. Search engine optimization is all
- 9:26relative, right, There is not a magic formula that gets you the number
- 9:31one spot in Google. You just to be the number one spot. You
- 9:33just have to be better than the number two spot. It's relative relative,
- 9:37so every someone is trying to outrank someone else. So the so the stakes
- 9:43are ready awesome. How much could just give us? For instance, you
- 9:48don't get to the nitty gritty, we don't want to trade secrets, but
- 9:52how much could a lead costs nowadays? So I mean, look, the
- 9:58best way to put a number on that is to look at the big portal
- 10:01site to sell eads and see what they charge. It could easily be one
- 10:05hundred dollars a lead, like the this is the loads of the world,
- 10:09and and they all have the distance models. Either they charge you, you
- 10:15know, monthly fee for x amount you know range of leads, or they
- 10:18charge you per lead, or they charge you sometimes a percentage of the commission
- 10:24that you make from that. They did a lot of different ways to demonetize
- 10:26it, but one way or another, Elite is worth easy one hundred dollars.
- 10:33And I mean a lot of these places who sell you leads for giver
- 10:35take that amount. They'll sell the same leads and multiple people. Yeah,
- 10:39Like the second you click that you're interested in a mortgage, your phone starts
- 10:45ringing off the hook. That's what they do right now. The flip side
- 10:50of that, if you can from the realtor perspective, because I talked to
- 10:54real churs every day. I hire realtors and they say, oh, I
- 10:56signed up for this on that one and I get leads, but I could
- 11:00never get them on the phone. The line is always busy. The reason
- 11:03the line is busy is because that person, like you said, they clicked
- 11:07the button and then the company that captured the lead, they sent it out
- 11:13automatically to I don't know four or five different agents, so by the time
- 11:18you can dial the phone, you know somebody beat you to it. Okay,
- 11:22And and let's not forget that also people don't answer their phones like they
- 11:28once did. That is true, But I think the bigger challenge is that
- 11:33the that they give the same lead to multiple agents. And I know for
- 11:37a fact that there are some brokerages that buy these leads and have automated systems
- 11:43to dial all the customer as soon as the lead comes in. Yeah,
- 11:46predictive dialers, right, like like some software that the email or text message
- 11:52that comes from the lead provider and then dials the bone and then connects it
- 11:56to a live person pull center. So if you're if you're just an agent
- 12:01riding around town with customers in your car, and you want to buy leads
- 12:05from one of these providers, and they're also selling it to one of those
- 12:07companies with call center and an autodialer, you're never going to get an You're
- 12:11at a real so you got an auto dialer there and you've got people sitting
- 12:16at the phone. So h me, I don't because I just build a
- 12:20few things. I don't buy leads from these providers because I'm not interesting leads
- 12:24I go to other people. I generally lease myself. And my promise to
- 12:28my agents is I will not give If I give you a lead, I
- 12:33give it to you all the head. I'm not going to get a ten
- 12:33dios right, Okay. So so your agents get a better deal because you're
- 12:43generating the leads, and you get more value for your dollars spent. By
- 12:48generating leads from my agents, I do two things. I create a value
- 12:50proposition from my agents. Right, if half of their business is coming from
- 12:56they're broker, they're not, they wouldn't even think about switching broker because they
- 13:00leave their business behind. So that's number one, it's great for hiring and
- 13:05retaining agents. And number two, I just grow the bottom line because if
- 13:09my agents sell, lare I make more? Right? Yeah, So it's
- 13:13a cosanguinity of interest there. And because we know that brokers otherwise, we'll
- 13:22just go to the highest bidder where they get the highest commission rate. Right,
- 13:26I mean you right, agents, So the terminologies they have one cls
- 13:31agents right, right, So the agents will just go, We'll just go
- 13:33and there's there's brokers that do it for one hundred percent. You know,
- 13:37and so if you know the old the old saying in this business, when
- 13:41you become the broker, right, when you first you're an agent working under
- 13:46broker, then if you become the broker, the joke is that you become
- 13:50broke or the client became broker, like stock market broke, right, right.
- 14:01But that's it. But that's because most brokers are competing on price,
- 14:05and when you compete on price, it's just a race to the bottom because
- 14:07there's always somebody willing to work for less than you. So if you ask
- 14:11value, it's different. So let's look at a different business model. When
- 14:15you're talking about discount brokers. Here in real estate, we think of redfin,
- 14:20right, Oh, has that model proven successful for them? So the
- 14:28redfin model is actually a little different. The redfin model is very dependent on
- 14:33lead generation. But then how they monetize it as different. So they take
- 14:37the lead, they hire agents, and they pay them not a salary,
- 14:43but they pay them, say per showing let's say anything orders to go open
- 14:48the door. So they generate a lead off the internet and they then send
- 14:52it to an agent to go open the door and let them see the house.
- 14:56And they don't have to pay the agent because they paid the agent as
- 15:01they went, you know, to open the door. So the house gets
- 15:05the broker, I guess keep the whole commission. Now, Yeah, could
- 15:07be a discounting commission because they give back some of the commissions to the client
- 15:11and that's just their incentive on how to get the clients to work with them.
- 15:16But ultimately it's very profitable for the broker because they don't have to pay
- 15:20out the commissions to the agients. Right. Okay, So so you don't
- 15:28sound super enthusiastic about it, is that the it's very profitable for dvand Redgens,
- 15:35a very good company. I think that the I mean, look,
- 15:39it's a trade off if you as an agent, if you want a more
- 15:45sure, steady income, you can do that, but they're not going to
- 15:48make the upside that a commission based agent. Right, So less risk,
- 15:54less reward right, a lot of guaranteed income. Buzz you Your income is
- 16:00your guarantee is less? Right? Yeah, like most things, right,
- 16:06risk versus rewarding. Yeah, it's fascinating. So, hey, what I
- 16:11really wanted to get John was talk about the state of Florida real estate,
- 16:15because all we hear about is higher interest rates, and you know, basically
- 16:23Florida real estate is going to go down. Florida sales are down year over
- 16:27year. I'm not sure if that's more an issue of inventory or if it's
- 16:33just an issue of interest rates. What's your take there, So it's both
- 16:37and they're connected to each other. So inventory is very low right now,
- 16:44but that is primarily driven by the high interest rate environment. And the connection
- 16:48between the two is as follows. If I bought my house three years ago,
- 16:53five years ago, and I have a three percent interest mortgage, then
- 16:59I can't afford to move. So if I make a lateral move, the
- 17:03cost is going to be astronomical. I'm gonna I'm playing three percent to playing
- 17:06eight percent. So people just saying, but anyone who has a low interesting
- 17:10mortgage would be foolish to sell their house. That's abolutely for sure. Yeah,
- 17:15like, why would you do it? Right? Three percent mortgage you
- 17:18can't get them. The mortgage rates are over seven percent now, So that's
- 17:25artificially constricting sales. And it's a question of right, how much you need
- 17:33to move right? Right? Well? And then and then you have the
- 17:37the hall owners who do not have mortgages right who paid cash on their most
- 17:41spring. They don't want to move either, and that's simply because of how
- 17:48Mutch prices have gone up in Florida. If you move again, take them
- 17:53mortgage out out of the picture. But if I sell my house, I'm
- 17:56going to have a huge COUNTITAL again. I'm gonna pay the i RS a
- 18:00big chunk of that, and my real estate taxes are gonna quadruple if I
- 18:04make a lateral mood. I never even thought of that. So yeah,
- 18:08because you're going to buy a new home at current market value, and when
- 18:12you move in, the tax appraiser basically equalizes your rate to current market value
- 18:18or below it, but still maxes go up substantially pretty much. But it
- 18:23all basically comes back to the homestead laws in Florida, which are a good
- 18:29thing. So homestead laws are when you when you have your primary residence in
- 18:33Florida, right, they cannot raise the assessed back value more than three percent
- 18:40a year. Correct. I say, you know, twenty years ago,
- 18:44if a million dollars, they can only bump it up three percent a year.
- 18:48But now it's worth and million dollars and I'm hanging on one point by
- 18:52one point three. Some some much much, you know, a fraction of
- 18:56what it's really worth if I move next door to the to the identical house.
- 19:00Now, now they have portability, so you can take some of that
- 19:04protection with you, but it's only half a million dollars, just like the
- 19:07half get on the capital gains. But in this market here where houses are
- 19:11you know, five million, ten million, twenty million dollars, that half
- 19:17a million does nothing for you. So it's just it's just the cost they
- 19:22to move right now. M okay, so uh so that's yet another reason.
- 19:27And then the insurance insurance, yes, insurances or is bad news here.
- 19:33That's a big problem here. And that one I don't really know what's
- 19:37a solution. The other ones there are solutions, like the homestead situation.
- 19:41I believe there's a simple thing that that the government can do that will really
- 19:45help the market and help the people, which is there should be no cap
- 19:49to portability right now, the thing from home to home. You will be
- 19:56able to take this right And now there are even guessed if they need the
- 20:00revenue, but the reality the revenue they had a twenty billion dollar surplus last
- 20:06year. I mean, like you need more money and I need more money.
- 20:11But not like they're going to go broke without it true. But even
- 20:15besides that, I think that logic is wrong because they're not going to get
- 20:19the revenue anyway, because no one's going to move under those conditions. And
- 20:26when people don't love, they lose a lot more revenue than the hypothetical tremendous
- 20:32tax bill that they're never going to get anyway. They lose all of the
- 20:37will or somebody else will come in from New York or from one of the
- 20:42failing over tax states and buy it anyway, so we don't have to do
- 20:48anything. But it's not always like that. This probably is temporary phenomena,
- 20:52don't you think, Well, whether timber or not depends on what they do
- 20:57going forward. But me adjust that that scenario of someone wealthy coming from New
- 21:03York and buying it anyway, I'll tell you why that logic doesn't work.
- 21:07Someone from New York might be willing to come here and buy ten million dollars
- 21:11house and pay a two percent annual real estate tax, pay two hundred thousand
- 21:15dollars a year. Someone might be willing to do that, but what house
- 21:18is he going to buy? For every buyer, you need to sell her,
- 21:22and the guy living in that house who's paying fifty thousand a year now
- 21:26is not going to sell it to the guy in New York is willing to
- 21:29pay. So they're not going to get that anyway. Yeah, unless they
- 21:32want to downsize for whatever reason. But downsizing doesn't make any sense because if
- 21:37you op, you know you're just going to pay more in taxes, and
- 21:42you wind up paying more in taxes for a house that's double or triple the
- 21:47size. So why bother right right now? If they had unlimited portability,
- 21:55then people who are here will move and that will make more inventory for new
- 22:00money to come in, which ultimately will help actually having him. I see
- 22:04your point, totally agree. So my grandparents moved here in nineteen sixty seven
- 22:11or sixty eight, and I think they moved for the weather, mostly because
- 22:17back then New Jersey wasn't really a high tax state. It was a low
- 22:21tax state. We didn't have a state income tax in New Jersey. But
- 22:25certainly the weather. But my point is, we go back to nineteen sixty
- 22:30there were five million people in the state in nineteen fifty. I think there
- 22:37were two million or one point seven million in twenty twenty three. It's getting
- 22:42close to twenty three million. So this trend really of people fleeing is only
- 22:49increasing taxes in the high tax states. No one could tell me that people
- 22:56a major factor in your decision to move to Florida isn't because the high taxes,
- 23:04all Right, the difference why you move to Florida as opposed to why
- 23:10you moved to Alaska, which has no state income tax either it's clear,
- 23:15or to North Dakota, say, which is still in the fifty the lower
- 23:18forty eight. Uh, you're going to move to Florida unless you love you
- 23:25have this love of snow and unlimited amounts of it. Right, Oh yeah,
- 23:30And there's there's a few states for sure in the country that have favorable
- 23:33attacks. But but but most of the other state sepo in that category don't
- 23:40have our weather. But but the thing is affordability in the state. Even
- 23:47before interest rates went up, you know, due to the pandemic and the
- 23:52people fleeing more restrictive pandemic regulations controls, that number only went up. But
- 24:02is there a limit to how many people can live in Florida? Heres of
- 24:04so, I think that it is certainly overpopulated, at least in South Florida.
- 24:10It's certainly frustrating for someone at first, someone like myself that lives here.
- 24:12I moved here in the nineteen nineties from New York looking for a more
- 24:18quieter, slower lifestyle, and now everything I left has followed me here.
- 24:23I'm not for business, you know, there's a lot of good that came
- 24:29from all the migration, but it's certainly it's certainly getting crowded here. But
- 24:34price wise, you know, ices are so much harder than they used to
- 24:38be here. But I don't I don't see them coming, you know,
- 24:42crashing like like some people think. And I'll tell you what a few reasons.
- 24:48First of all, if you compare Florida prices with the rest of the
- 24:52country, it's it's still far more horrible than maybe other major cities. So
- 24:59anyone kin you know from New York, delish any of these places. They've
- 25:03also gone out, so well, we're still a better deal. You still
- 25:07get more house here for your my name do in those places. And also
- 25:14something that you have to adjust your you're thinking too, is the value of
- 25:18the dollar. It's just not what it used to be. So you know,
- 25:22I like to joke that a million dollars. It's just not worth a
- 25:25million dollars anymore. Now it's worth it's worth a tenth set of the twenty
- 25:30thirty year thirty forty years ago. Maybe forty years ago, it's worth about
- 25:34ten percent perhaps, Okay, right, So take the value of your house
- 25:38and take a zero zero. Yeah, and then I ask yourself as it
- 25:42over, pray, Hey, and taxes are less here, for sure,
- 25:48real estate taxes. When I left the Westchester County, New York, we
- 25:52were blessed with the highest real estate taxes in the country. That was our
- 25:56claim to fame. And they were still paying forty percent of what I paid
- 26:02there a lesser house. Well maybe the house isn't really lesser, but maybe
- 26:07it's twenty percent less house than I had in Westchester. So I'm paying a
- 26:11fraction of what I paid there, and no staying income tax. And I
- 26:15realize that that says are not considered to be low. I'm not by any
- 26:18of the percent of the eye of the home. It's not it's not,
- 26:22you know, it's not that low. Where we really make up for it
- 26:25is the lack of income tax. Yeah, lack of income tax. And
- 26:29yeah, food is pretty much the same cost as it is their guests probably
- 26:34about the same. Yeah, pretty much income tax and you know, well
- 26:42I was going to say lower tolls, but we're getting lots of tolls now,
- 26:47so yeah, but not like me, not like twenty bucks to go
- 26:52over a bridge. Actually, yeah, I remember. I feel like the
- 26:56old timer. I remember when it was twenty five cents to go each way
- 27:00through the Lincoln or Holland Tunnel or over the GW bridge, and now it's
- 27:04it's forty times that say, so much for inflation. You know, tolls,
- 27:10road tolls have gone up as fast as healthcare expenses and college educations,
- 27:15you know, and both of those things also went up a lot more than
- 27:19they should. Yeah, hey, so prognosis. There's got to be a
- 27:25limit though, because look, go what happened last two winters ago, where
- 27:30or I should say summers ago where people stayed here after the winter because they
- 27:36didn't go back to lockdowns, right, you know, it really disrupted the
- 27:41supply chain of your supermarkets. And the supply chain was already disrupted, but
- 27:45you saw it in the stores. So the question is how much longer can
- 27:49the party go on? Zev are you asking our price is going to crash.
- 27:55No, I'm saying, what are you're asking? How long can more
- 27:57people get motivating? Yeah? Yeah, that's what can the population go?
- 28:02Can we go to thirty million like Texas? Yeah? So here's what I
- 28:06think will happen. I think other other parts of Florida have yet to see
- 28:12the best of it yet. There are parts of Florida that are still much
- 28:17more affordable than where we are sure and still have all the benefits that we're
- 28:22talking about again, Still Florida lot, it's large Texas, it's Florida weather
- 28:26on places like Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville. These areas have plenty of room
- 28:33to grow, and they're not as overpopulated as South Florida. I think those
- 28:37will be the areas that will see huge upside in the next few years.
- 28:42Okay, so new home builders they seem to have slowed down a bit here
- 28:48though, where they're cutting stuff and trying to make it more affordable by cutting
- 28:56out stuff and I guess adding more extras. Right. Home builders are kind
- 29:03of a trickier business because of the lean time it takes from from when you
- 29:10buy the land till you get approvals, till you put the shineers build the
- 29:14development ten years, right, So so what they try to do is and
- 29:18you know, it's all done with financing, right that it's these builders aren't
- 29:22buying land for cash and building everything out of their own pocket. It's all
- 29:25construction loans and all kinds of financing. So so there's a time cost of
- 29:30money. So they try to and then they have to predict, you know,
- 29:33what prices will be at the completion of the project. So, I
- 29:38mean they've all done very good over the past few years because whatever their business
- 29:41plans, well they did better, so you know, there was no surprises
- 29:45to the downside. But they still need to think about what's going to be
- 29:48a few years out and what's going to cost to get from here to there.
- 29:52So I think they're just being extra cautious. They will. If you
- 29:55couldn't make money as a home builder in Florida over the past say five years,
- 30:02four or five years, then you had some serious serious issues going on
- 30:07in your business plan and your quality and everything else. Even with bad quality,
- 30:11you could sell anything the past few years. Maybe now it's a little
- 30:15more difficult. So hey, Zev, really appreciate you coming on. How
