Golf, Gadgets and The Root of Realtor Problems

Social Media and any other “quick fix” that’s promised to you by a Facebook or magazine ad isn’t going to cure an ailing real estate career any more than my $200 driver did my golf game. In fact, COACHING isn’t going to fix your career either unless you are willing to do the work OUTSIDE of coaching to advance your career.

Advising the Face of Real Estate Today

You are a real estate professional. You have taken an oath to serve your clients and advise them to the best of your ability. This “advising” is not limited to the negotiation of the property and searching of the MLS, you are in the truest form, a financial planner for their current and future home situation.

Five Things I’d Like from Inman Connect ‘09

Gimme big, bad, cutting edge innovation… I have naughty-hot dreams about this kind of thing at home. But give me some case studies with metrics and analytics as to HOW you have implemented it and WHAT your clients think of it.

About

Matthew Dollinger I would like to consider myself a real estate martyr, but I think that's a little drastic.


How I would like to position myself in the industry is somewhat of a "conduit" between agents/brokers and those continually innovating tomorrow's real estate model. I believe that Real Estate needs to ditch the mentality that it's "more than a business" and truly look to innovative companies, (regardless of industry), and learn from them. It's how we will grow and succeed in this marketplace.


I am constantly looking for new partners that share a passion for learning, innovating and implementing ideas. If you have a thought, idea, or would like to share, simply reach out to me.
