A broker friend told me this morning that her biggest take-away from the Prudential RE Convention earlier this week in Vegas was simply; get to work....the "old school" way. I had actually been thinking the same.
Has "innovation(s)" in the real estate business "jumped the shark"?
An agent wrote for Inman today exclaiming - syndication, who cares? Gahlord Dewald, a popular real estate strategist, wrote this week asking whether there had been any real innovation in the real estate industry that had benefited the consumer.
We asked a similar question recently, when we asked, has there been any real innovation that is putting more money in the agent/brokers pocket(s)?
Hmmmm........maybe those shiny objects are just reflecting what we already know?
Old school eh?

I have noticed in my time as a real estate agent that the vast majority of learning we do benefits ourselves and not the consumer. With all this technology that supposedly helps buyers and sellers find the right property at the touch of a button, why hasn't the "average days on market" of a property decreased substantially?

Only so many ways to spin the wheel. Somehow I think door knocking and dialing for dollars may come back.

Malcom and Bill,
Good point and I agree. You'd think that those of us actually doing the business would know what we need to be successful and it's looking like it's the basics - or somewhere close to it :)
Thanks'
