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.

Lovecats, Likeability, and a Plan to Save the World

We are being forced, whether you like it or not, to embrace a genuinely authentic brand that carries into both our personal and professional lives. And as we adapt to emerging technologies and spread our network of influence further each day, the Lovecat mentality becomes all the more important for one reason if nothing else.

The Real Estate Office… and Company… Of Today

A note of thanks to Marc and Brian of 1000Watt Consulting, Joel Burslem of FOREM, and Ash Munshi of Terabitz for their contributions to this topic.

Picture this…

You own a brokerage in a major city. You are an established name. And like everyone around you, you currently suffer at the hands of the real estate downturn.

Business is down 40% and your costs are spiraling out of control. Costs that include:

Print advertising. A surplus of marketing, IT, managers and support staff. And a lease for office space that provides too much room for too many agents who have no need for 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.
