Hi guys. Nice love fest!

I thought Dalton did a disservice to the brokers in the room by pandering to their fears of the internet and technology.

Instead of going for the nervous applause by going for cheap and inaccurate mischaracterizations of the Red Fin model, Dalton could have assisted the brokers in understanding how to cope with the obvious changes in the market.

Red Fin brokers are call center reps supported by technology. Brokers should aim to be professionals, supported by technology. The differentiation needs to be perceptible to the end users, or the brokers will have difficulty maintaining their pricing.

Tools like Trulia and US Condo Exchange which provide efficient platforms for the brokers to gain exposure need to be differentiated from discount brokers and other businesses focussed on taking business away from the traditional broker community.

It is highly unrealistic for the brokerage community not to expect technology to spawn new ideas and efficiencies. The question is not how to denigrate these advances, but how to leverage the change to better serve the customers, thus cementing the brokers place in the puzzle and justifying the existing margins.

All the best,

Thanks for the note of support Sellsius!
Great to have a drink with you and the other bloggers in NYC.
Will take you up on the offer next time I’m in town, and likewise when you’re in SF.
Cheers
