September means Back to Basics here at Inman. As real estate navigates the post-settlement era with new commission rules, real estate professionals from across the country will share what’s working for them, how they’ve evolved their systems and tools, and where they’re investing personally.
Pulse is a recurring column where we ask for readers’ takes on varying topics in a weekly survey and report back with our findings.

Do they need to focus more on buyers or sellers, direct mail or cold calls, social media or a shiny new website? What’s the secret to dominating today’s market, and how can you set yourself up for success in the months ahead? Let us know below:
We’ll compile a list of the top responses and post them on Inman next Tuesday.
