If you are reading a real estate blog and are in the real estate business, odds are that you are looking to do something different, trying to get a jump up on your competition.
Or applying innovation to a traditional model and marketplace.
Examples are everywhere with the rise of Zillow, Redfin, and the internet as a whole. The toolkit available to a real estate agent today is completely different than the one you used 10 years ago.
And you do not need to create a Zillow to innovate. There are many ways you can do this in your local market.
If you are looking to innovate, then I heartily recommend watching the hour long presentation by Guy Kawasaki. Guy is cool. He is funny, but underneath this funny cool guy is someone who can explain innovation in a way that you do not need an MBA to understand.
As a real estate professional, you also need to present. Take the lessons in the video to heart.
- Don’t pound you prospects with reems of data. Make a short compelling case.
- Make your presentation legible. Mouse type for a 50 year old is never fun. Save that for the contracts.

While innovation helps, nothing beat good old fashion service to customers
Louis:
HomeGain lacks anything resembling customer service. Your company fleeced me of thousands of dollars and never returned my repeated phone calls.
Do not use HomeGain if you have any respect for yourself as a professional.
