Giving Back – the sinister Triple Dog Dare

Being this movie is one of my all time favorites, I couldn’t resist the quote. This time of year, we all are beyond super busy it seems. Whether you’re trying to wrap up any closings, finalize your year end sales #’s, or maybe it’s just finishing up the purchasing of any last minute gifts on your list. As I reflect back on 2009, one topic that has really been ingrained into me is this: giving back. At the Geek Estate Blog, the community loves to give back to each other. Unlike the clip below when Flick gets abandoned and stuck to the frozen pole, the community here at Geek Estate wants to help you.

Over the course of our career(s), we’ve all gained valuable skills in the real estate niche. Some of us have been in the business longer than others, and some of us are more technical than others. That being said, as you reflect on 2009 and look toward 2010, I want to offer you a challenge: look at ways you can give back.

Maybe for you it’s mentoring someone that is new in the Real Estate niche, or maybe it’s sharing your technical knowledge with someone that hasn’t experienced as much as you have on the web. Whatever it might be for you, I encourage you start thinking about how you can give back in 2010. There is always someone out there that needs your help. You just need to figure out the best way to find them.

As always, my door is always open on the technology side if anyone wants to bounce any ideas off me. I’m more than happy to help out! Have a great holiday season all, and a great 2010. A special thanks to Drew and the Zillow team for the great asset that we’re all a part of – the Geek Estate Blog – without you, the contributing authors of Geek Estate, and Drew (+ team), we wouldn’t have this great collaborative resource where we can all learn from each other.

Cheers, Matthew

Happy 2010 everyone!
