About Me

For the past couple of years I was the Vice President of Strategy for one of the nations largest real estate companies. My task was to create, build and prove the viability of the industries next great business model. We did it, they are switching over almost exclusively to what we created in Raleigh and now I am seeking the quite life for the next six months... OK THAT IS OVER!!! MAN I WAS MELLOW IN JANUARY WHEN I WROTE THIS BUT THE SABITICAL IS OVER!

I am putting my money and effort where everyone else just talks, we are building the real estate company of the future or at least what we think it looks like from the structure and financial models we have built. Last year I built a new model for the big company, now we are straight entrepenuer, making square pieces fit, fabricating solutions out of readily avialable resources we think, just working smarter.

We will open four new market between May 29 and July 29 2009, on a platform we think is the future of real estate, this includes space planning marketing, branding, training and hopefully laughing! Our first new market will be Southwest Michigan including New Buffalo, Kalamazoo and Portgage, we are fired up, please follow along! On my Activerain blog and here http://blog.changingstreets.com .

Ok now back to my boring prose from January!

I am now working on finding real estates inner peace! The perfect combination of home, financing and information that a client can count on through out the transaction.

By no fault of its own the housing industry is a huge mass of ineffiency, disfunction and in a few cases corruption. My goal has always been to create the ultimate consumer and company experience.

Create a company that delivers five star service to its clients. Create a company environment in which agents can thrive beyond all expectations.

Create a comany that efficently delivers Real Estate services seemlessly from initial client contact to ever! Create a company that brings back the old school definition of value.

Create a company that will endure. Create a company that is scalable in any business environment... or help someone else create it; we all need somebody!

What Is Important in Real Estate Today

Making agents more efficient & profitable than they ever thought possible. Making home buyers & sellers very happy!

A clear and consice company message, and an environment will evolve on how that message is communicated. Earning and creating trust through out all delivery platforms is crucial to operating in todays business environment...every transaction should be Smart>Easy>Sane.

Understanding Integrity and Honesty in the work environment including office, social media and blogging. Not lip service but true honesty and the power it has to make business happen in a very efficient and profitable manner. Consumers deserve a great experience while buying or selling a home, service is a given, create an experience.

An alternative to the old hire more agents to sell more theory of management. I have recruited a lot of top talent in my career, but the only way that new relationship makes sense is if the new company can make their business GROW! There are many new ways to serve clients in a unique and valuable way in relation to your competition....I enjoy finding and implementing them.

What I am working on....

We are putting our money where our mouth is!
