With so much housing data available, how do you decide what might be relevant or interesting to your clients? How do you use data to better understand the market and communicate your expertise to home shoppers? Join in our next Twitter chat to explore these questions and share learnings with fellow agents.

Why a Twitter chat?

Zillow's #NextGenAgent Twitter chats are a positive forum where agents can freely discuss today's industry hot topics, hear actionable advice and be part of an elite community of real estate professionals.

When?

Zillow's next Twitter chat is scheduled for Wednesday, April 29, from 10:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. PT / 1:30 to 2:00 p.m. ET.

Who?

You! All are welcome to participate. This chat will be hosted by Stan Humphries (@StanHumphries), Zillow chief economist, and Kevin Lisota (@KevinListoa), a tech- and social-savvy broker from Seattle. Listen and contribute to a discussion of what it means to be a successful "Next-Generation Agent," and learn about harnessing the power of data..
