Hi there! I am the Community Manager here at Inman.com. If you have any questions about the site or anything at Inman, feel free to get in touch. I am happy to help however I can, or at least point you in the right direction.

When I'm not mixing it up here at Inman.com you can find me on my blog at RealEstateZebra.com. There, you will find my take on all things real estate. While I try to focus on issues related to technology and social media, the conversation wanders all over from time to time. I try to have a little something for everyone, blog posts, videos, anything to address industry issues in a fun and interesting way.

  • Bravo! As I often tell

    Bravo! As I often tell audiences when I talk about technology-- you won't go out of business because you don't use twitter. Seriously. If you are doing good business and satisfying your clients, keep doing what you're doing. If there are tools out there that could help you do that even better, then consider implementing some of them, where it is appropriate. If you are an uber-geek, and you want to dive deep into the sea of technology, you can do that, too. We are diverse enough as professionals, and our clients are diverse enough, that there is room for success all over the place. Whatever you choose to do, commit to it and do it to the best of your ability. That lesson applies regardless of the technology. http://www.RealEstateZebra.com

    Eileen, You should definitely join in! And hey, when you are looking for that priceless, face-to-face interaction, don't miss out on RE Barcamp San Francisco. It is always the day before Inman Connect. Be on the lookout for next year! http://www.RealEstateZebra.com

  • Bernice, I'm glad you found

    Bernice, I'm glad you found the video informative and enjoyable! I know that Bill and I had a blast leading that discussion at RE Barcamp VA Beach. One of the things that I am seeing more and more in this business is that people choose their agents for numerous different reasons. All of those reasons can be boiled down to TRUST. People work with those whom they trust the most. Building relationships is all about building trust. Whether you call trust "whuffie" or "social capital" is irrelevant. What matters is the more of it you build, the better off you are. If people are interested in the background of that session, my motivation came from this blog post I wrote: http://danielrothamel.com/my-quest-to-become-a-whuffieaire http://www.RealEstateZebra.com
