  • How much of the real estate industry is broken and just needs to be fixed?

    By Daniel Rothamel, the Real Estate Zebra, Tuesday, April 21, 2009

    I came across the following video of a Seth Godin presentation as a result of a post on his blog.  The video is about 20 minutes long, but as is the case with Seth Godin, it is worth every minute of your time:

     


    Seth Godin at Gel 2006 from Gel Conference on Vimeo.

    This got me to thinking ...

    The real estate and mortgage lending industries have received a whole lot of attention recently, mainly for all the wrong reasons.  I'm wondering how much of this attention is simply the result of things that are broken and could easily be fixed. 

    What are the things out there that are broken, and how can we fix them?  

    And, perhaps more importantly, what things out there really need to be broken?
