A few weeks ago I wrote a post titled Where are the real estate young guns? that highlighted a few very successful (and one might add “tenured”) bloggers, agents, and marketing mavericks in the real estate industry. Their stories are inspirational and serve as a benchmark for anyone looking to make an impact in the real estate spaces. If you don’t follow “The Guard” yet – you should. But this is a new era and like Emilio Estevez says in the movie “we’re gonna show these guys … Read More »

It was about a year ago today that I accepted admission into TCU’s MBA program in Fort Worth. It was a very tough decision for me at the time because I had also just decided to launch a real estate brokerage. I weighed the advantages/disadvantages carefully, and although I knew that developing a company was going to require my full attention – I decided to move forward with the MBA program for a number of reasons.   I’m fascinated by education. I’m a terrible student … Read More »

Got your attention? Good. You do realize that a 27 year old just bought out a 28 year old for a billion dollars last week? This is just the most recent W in the “win column” for the young guns of the world and there are dozens of examples of how young guns are changing industries and even changing the world for the better. Why is this phenomenon almost non-existent in the real estate industry and what will it cost us if we continue to let “The … Read More »

Mobile devices are incredible. Personally, I am in love with my Ipad. The world of information always available right at your fingertips. Well, sort of. Real estate has evolved with mobile to the benefit of consumers and agents everywhere with mobile search, messaging, and e-signatures making transactions easier for everyone. Now, if only agents could: access valuable MLS data through a feature-packed app which allowed them to research and show homes, communicate with clients and agents, link properties to clients, set up future showings, get instant … Read More »

We recently participated in an event that put our real estate company in front of hundreds of graduate students relocating to Fort Worth in the summer. I prepared as much material as possible in advance for the event, but was also really eager to just get it under my belt. Planned in conjunction with a welcome orientation on campus, the housing fair was the last stop of the day for the students. We were armed with the following: The pull up banner is a great way to reiterate branding. Since I plan … Read More »

This post outlines the market, my vision and thoughts about branding regarding the Fischer Real Estate Services website I will redesign for Geek Build 2012 to cover Fort Worth, TX. I love feedback and comments. Market: Fort Worth proper is a competitive market organically, but lacks a technologically savvy brokerage (a void I look to fill). Many of the most popular neighborhoods consist of historical housing built around 1920-1950 and are located in or around cultural centers of the city. Remodels, renovations, and new builds are prevalent and … Read More »

I have the unique opportunity to present at a housing fair for a graduate university program in Fort Worth. Actually, this has been a part of Fischer Real Estate Services business development strategy for the past couple of months. Imagine this – there are large organizations in your town who hire, fire, and admit hundreds of people to their programs every year (who are in need of housing). There is no need to imagine it (unless you live in a very tiny town), this kind of regular … Read More »
