It’s interesting to me, when you take a step back and survey what’s happening – and not happening – in the real estate industry as these lawsuits continue.
A race to change forms – when nothing is final. A seeming lack of understanding that this change in how we conduct business is real. We tried to fight the Internet. We railed against our new competition. Our websites were bested by people from outside of the industry. We just don’t seem to deal with reality/change very well.
This time could be different.
We have an opportunity here. We have the opportunity to raise our standards. Raise our skill levels – at every level. We have an opportunity to provide guarantees of a level of skill and service throughout our companies – to be better at what we do. We can point to too few professionals that rise to these standards – what about the rest?
It’s a matter of understanding what’s at stake and the will and work involved to change the outcome.
Or not…
