Whistle while you Real Estate: The Inman Intel Index
–
The Inman Intel Index broadens its scope from mere sentiment and trends, by incorporating views from the most engaged real estate industry community.
–
In an effort to strengthen the connection between industry professionals and the wider community, this fresh initiative doubles as the most ambitious monthly survey in the field.
–
The idea is to lend ears to the otherwise voiceless participants in the industry, be it budding real estate agents, experienced moguls, or homebuyers navigating the shark-infested waters of property purchase.
–
Everyone gets to add their voice and to help paint a clearer picture of the state of the industry – unfiltered, raw, and authentic.
It’s Office Space, Not Gladiatorial Combat: Resolving Workplace Conflicts
–
Interpersonal confrontations in the office are inevitable, but per world-renowned leadership coach, Fred Kofman, they don’t have to result in a ‘300’-esque battle scenario.
–
Kofman offers a rather Zen solution to resolving conflicts – approach them with a learning mindset instead of an advocating one.
–
The concept is straightforward yet thought-provoking – listen to learn, not to win. Hit the pause button on your inner lawyer, and activate your inner counsellor.
–
By embracing a learner’s mindset, you dissipate the dark storm clouds of confrontation and allow the sun’s rays of understanding to shine through.
And now for the wittiest hot take the Internet will ever spawn…
Real estate has always been this monstrous entity that causes normal human beings to turn into calculating, anxiety-ridden creatures. Ah, the sweet chaos of negotiations, appraisals, and loan pre-approvals. But with the introduction of The Inman Intel Index, it seems like the realm of real estate is set to look less like a scene from ‘Jaws’ and more like Bob Ross painting a friendly cluster of houses, complete with a ‘happy little tree’ in each yard. Coupling this with Fred Kofman’s sage advice, it won’t be long till property negotiations spark a meditative ‘om’ more than a bourgeoning ulcer.
Oh, what a time to be alive in the corporate world! Office confrontations turned into enlightenment sessions, courtesy of the Kofman philosophy. So now, when Jim from accounting rubs you the wrong way, you can sit him down and kindly ask him to listen, learn and metamorphose into a nirvana-infused being.
So buckle up, prospective homebuyers and office workers. With these strides in real estate and corporate philosophy, maybe sanity will make a comeback after all!
