2. Tyler Cornu of the Nevada Real Estate Group

After months of declining Zillow ROI, the Nevada Real Estate Group analyzed their data at the end of Q4 2023. Their ROI had dropped from 10% to -7%, prompting them to cut Zillow from their paid campaigns entirely. Without Zillow, their monthly costs dropped, but conversion rates and ROI remained steady or even improved with Sierra. They redirected part of their Zillow budget to Sierra, allowing them to expand into a new market, Las Vegas.

Take a closer look at their journey and the impressive results they experienced after making the switch.

4. Kyle Chernetsky of C2 Realty Group

C2 Realty Group of Real Brokerage, led by Kyle Chernetsky, was initially a small team of 6 agents who quickly found success in their local market. With bigger goals in mind, Kyle expanded the team to 60 agents over the past year. This growth brought challenges: recruiting new agents, providing leads, nurturing those leads to conversion and scaling operations efficiently. To address these, C2 Realty Group switched from Follow Up Boss to Sierra Interactive as their CRM.

Rodney and Amanda Heard, founders of The Heard Team of eXp Realty, faced a challenge with the upcoming National Association of Realtors (NAR) Settlement, highlighting the need for strong marketing focused on listings and sellers, who currently dominate the market. After finding Zillow too buyer-focused, they sought a solution to prioritize sellers and enhance their efforts to attract home sellers.
