On today’s show we feature a site that anyone, especially those in the real estate industry, should visit. We also had another marathon conversation with Stefan Swanepoel from RETRends.com. We talked about real estate issues ranging from the role of GenX and GenY in the industry to Real Estate Wiki.
We opened the show talking about a website called OpenForum.com and a number of videos and stories they are hosting regarding their “Inside the Entrepreneurial Mind”. Check out this clip featuring Seth Godin and Sean Parker. They give some valuable insight to any business owner (that means YOU too Realtors) regarding blogging and interaction with “Social Networks“. Also, while you are there, make sure you take a look at this as well. “Transparency” is quickly becoming the new buzz word for Web 2.0 and the real estate industry better catch up quick.
Our featured interview today was with Stefan Swanepoel from RETRends.com. If you listened to the last interview with Stefan, you know what a knowledgeable and visionary guy he is. We covered topics such as the role that GenX and GenY are taking in the real estate industry, how women over the last few years have moved into prominent roles in ever facet of the industry, and one of his new projects, Real Estate Wiki. Make SURE you check out that site, I promise you will be hearing much more about that in real estate circles. By the way, there was one statement Stefan made that stands out for me, he said that he looks at real estate as “An adult self-help industry”. There may never have been truer words spoken in the history of man…
In addition to having Eric Wesoloski on with the “SideBar” segment today, Barry C threw Lindsay the Producer under the bus and came of with a new experiment. You will definitely have to listen to this episode. I will give you a hint, we are taking Lindsay and initiating “Operation Agent Rockstar”. We have already lined up some expert talent for this endeavour.
