In the real estate industry, people continuously speak about change and disruption. As far as I\u2019m concerned, you either embrace progress or you are out of business. \u00a0An ongoing theme shared by my company and the Better Homes and Gardens\u00ae Real Estate brand is always do better, be better and change the status quo.<\/p>\n
The one thing that remains constant is change. \u00a0Some call it disruptive forces, but I call it life. \u00a0There are many examples of external obstacles causing our industry to evolve and we have to meet them head on in order to maintain control of our future. \u00a0This can be intimidating. However, let\u2019s face it – when you are a leader, you cannot be afraid of change even though you will have some failures. \u00a0It\u2019s all a part of growth. \u00a0More importantly, it\u2019s all a part of success.<\/p>\n
Technology is the perfect example of this. \u00a0Over the years, it has made huge modifications and improvements in our industry, forcing us to move forward and change in a way that has been uncomfortable at times. \u00a0Staying up to date with new technology and adapting your business practices is the key in this day and age. \u00a0It\u2019s the essence of embracing change when the benefits start to outweigh the initial uneasiness of the learning curve.<\/p>\n
According to findings from the National Association of REALTORS\u00ae in their Real Estate in a Digital Age <\/em>2017 report, w<\/em>hile members are taking advantage of the technology that is available to them in their everyday business practices, one of the biggest challenges firms are facing in the next two years is truly keeping up with it.<\/p>\n I was recently installed as President of the Real Estate Business Institute, which is a pleasure and an honor. \u00a0I know that I would have never received that opportunity if I had remained stagnant in my business practices and ideas. \u00a0If I fought off change, not as many good things would be happening to me or my business.<\/p>\n I\u2019m also lucky to be a part of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate, where a like-minded leadership team encourages our network to embrace our future. It is inspiring to see how our vibrant brand leads the way by always looking frontward and evolving.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Change is inevitable, and those who move along with it will find that\u2019s a good thing!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n — Miguel Berger<\/p>\n Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Tech Valley<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In the real estate industry, people continuously speak about change and disruption.
