Hot Take
Inman Connect New York was an idea buffet and we loaded our plates with plenty of takeaways! In our tech-drenched world, real estate industry leaders are chanting the mantra of ‘delegate to liberate’. Automation and smart use of software aren’t simply extras on the buffet — they’re now the main course for any aspiring business.
When it comes to talent, it’s a two-way street with a hefty toll for companies in real estate. Yes, you want rock stars on your team, but the panel insists that you need to ensure they can play nice with the rest of the choir, too! Injecting time, effort, and funding into their growth is as vital as watering your favorite houseplant (just avoid overwatering!).
Adding value, for clients and team members, isn’t as simple as stuffing a pinata with more candy. Instead, it’s about uncovering their unique love language and then speaking it fluently. Yes, this might involve memorizing a few phrases and buying some flowers.
Remember, folks, riding the rollercoaster that is real estate ain’t no walk in the park. As long as you keep your sense of humor (and maybe a stash of margaritas), these lessons will help you navigate the curveballs and enjoy the ride. Now, go forth, use your tech magic wands, and charm your clients into a real estate trance!
