The value of knowledge
One day in Minneapolis, Joe woke up and his house was freezing. It was February and he discovered his furnace had stopped working! He immediately called the furnace repairman to come out. An hour or so later, there was a knock at the door. "Come on in... and thank you for getting here so fast!" said Joe. "No problem" said the repairman. He immediately went to the basement and walked over to the furnace. He put his ear up to the side... no noise. "Yep, it isn't running" he said. Joe thought "Wow, I could've done that!". Next, the repairman kneeled down and with both hands, pulled the cover off of the side of the furnace. He stuck his head in and looked around. He then opened the little tool bag he had toted down with him and pulled out a hammer. Again, he stuck his head inside the furnace and reached the hammer towards the back. With a couple of swings of his arm accompanied by a loud "Tink" "Tink" and suddenly "Whhrrrrrr..." - the furnace started up! Warm air started rushing out of the vent in the ceiling next to Joe's left ear. Joe was elated "Thank you so much!". The repairman tucked the hammer back into his toolbag and put the panel back on the furnace. Walking upstairs behind him, Joe said "Just send me your bill... and thank you again!". "No problem" murmered the repairman.
A couple of days later, Joe got the bill in the mail. It was $200. "Two Hundred Dollars!!! Is he crazy??" Joe thought. He called up the repairman thinking "Was the word 'sucker' pasted on my forehead?". When the repairman answered, Joe angrily told him to send him an ITEMIZED bill to explain the $200 charge for five minutes of work. "There weren't even any parts needed!" he reminded the repairman. So the next day about 9am, Joe's fax machine started to beep. Out came the itimized bill. It read: "Pounding on the furnace with a hammer - $1. Knowing where to pound - $199". Joe paid the bill...

A Schism in the industry
Currently, you have many ”experts” available, but they lack one side or the other’s expertise. You have technology people that are great at technology but have never been on the street selling real estate so they don’t quite understand the business the way the “end users” need them to. On the other side, you have great real estate people that try to pick up on technology, but as fast as technology moves, they can’t keep up. Put the two together and you have internet solutions that don’t reach their potential. The problem is similar to that of having a team of French speaking engineers designing an engine for a car and another team of Chinese engineers designing the body. If they don’t know each others languages, the result will probably be that the engine won’t fit into the body of the car. The same problem exists in real estate. The tech people don’t know the subtleties of what is needed for the agent on the street and the real estate people don’t know what the technology is really capable of so they don’t even know what to ask. (see an example)
We give you the tools to do that online as well as with in-person seminars and classes. Put yourself on the right path with technology. Work with the team that as been consulted by Google, the National Association of REALTORS® and more. Contact us today.
