If you have followed my blogs here on ActiveRain in the past you'll probably know that I'm as much or more a business person then I am a real estate sales person.

That being said I / We have just completed our firth iteration in the real estate business.

Iteration 1 started on April 29, 2002 when I got licensed as an agent at Prudential Kelstrup REALTORS in Bellingham, WA.  During this time I personally built and managed my own lead generation, did my own transaction coordination, showed and negotiated purchase and sale agreements, paid my bill (with the help of my original mentor) and ultimately made a good living as a REALTOR.  

Iteration 2 - By 2003 I was starting to generate leads in multiple markets and started to refer some leads out to agents in my office and a few other Prudential Offices around the Pacific Northwest.

Iteration 3 - March 2004 - Started a couple of real estate teams inside of Keller Williams.  1 - In Bellingham, WA and another in Seattle WA.  By 2005 we added a couple more teams.

Iteration 4 - April 3, 2007 - Fully Vested in the Profit Share program in Keller Williams I decided to start my own firm, BuyerTours Realty which was essentially our team in our branded real estate firm.

Iteration 5 - October 2009 - This last week we launched eXp Realty as the World's First Fully Immersive Web 3.0 Real Estate Company.  The last three months has been the most intense 4 months of my career and its been totally worth it.  Without going into too much detail on this post, we believe that our new model will totally redefine being Virtual without feeling like you have given up any of the interaction and collaboration typical of bricks and mortar.

More to come...  Now got to get to finishing up that Press release ;) that I've been meaning to get to the last couple of weeks.
