Barry Johnson…
Today on the show we talked about the latest in real estate news including Fed Chairman Bernake’s idea on how to overcome the housing/mortgage crisis and also comments from Warren Buffett. We interviewed Saul Klein from RealTown.com and InternetCrusades.com on this episode of Real Estate Radio USA.
In real estate news today the Fed Chairman was at it again. This time he was preaching that lenders should voluntarily be forgiving mortgage debt to relieve the burden on homeowners. Bernake may be a world class economist, but no-one ever accused him of being a stellar business person. He actually went on to say that the problems we are realizing in the economy today will continue as the housing market continues to slump. Also, we heard from Warren Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway CEO, when he sat down with CNBC. The story was short, but filled with knowledge such as this quote, “…it’s very hard to start interfering with markets without having a whole lot of unintended consequences.” Barry C had some interesting feedback on that cryptic statement.
In our interview today we had the privilege to speak with a man the NAR once named as “One of the 25th Most Influential People in Real Estate”, Mr. Saul Klein. Saul is the owner and creator of InternetCrusades.com and the real estate social networking site, RealTown.com. We talked to Saul about everything from realtors’ inability (or fear) of embracing technology to the enormous advantages of syndication. He is truly a pioneer in embracing technology to further your real estate career.
Finally we discussed the concept of “branding” again on the show. We highlighted a recent blog post by Barry C titled, ““A Lot Of You Are Building The Brand Of People Ahead Of You”. The video in the blog post is WELL worth watching and hopefully it will motivate you to start building YOUR brand today.
