The one personal value that almost no one talks about may be the most important to your life and career. Location, location, location. As a professor of self-discovery at NYU Stern School of Business, I am literally in the business of helping people figure out what to do with their lives. And I’ll be honest, I did that for years before I learned (the hard way) that every conversation about purpose should actually start with a simple question. Where do you want to live? Then and only then can you get on with gathering all the other important data you need, such as an individual’s values, aptitudes, and interests. Because people can be flexible about a lot of things. They understand trade-offs. A lesser job for a better boss. A cooler company for lower pay. But when it comes to the location of home-sweet-home, you start hearing terms like “non-negotiable” and “must-have.” Values are always personal. They are core to our identity. But as a person who studies values formation and expression for a living, I would make the case that none is quite as fiercely defended as where we want and need to live. Just try to get me out of New York City, for instance. Not happening. This The Wall Street Journal article about small towns being desperate for workers left me shaking my head. There is no easy fix. Because location is not a variable, it's a value, and often the last (or only!) one that money can’t buy. https://lnkd.in/euCNGxjh

I agree with this -- location is closely tied to industrial networks and ecosystems. For example, if you want to work in the special effects industry, it helps to be near where the creative companies doing this kind of work are established. Same goes for music engineering and production -- there are basically still three centers of the music industry in the USA: New York, Nashville, and Los Angeles.

Your dream home may be a home you want to build yourself on land you already own. If you’re hiring a builder to create that dream home, it is important for you to know what you should expect from them.

Particularly in Houston, a job change taking you to the other side of town could make a significant change in your commute time. If you are fortunate enough to be able to work remotely, you might be able to move further away from the city and land in a more rural location. Also, changes in the household's financial situation, such as an increase or decrease in income, could impact the ability to afford current housing or prompt a move to a more affordable location. #KellerWilliamsPremier #BuyerAgent #BlueEyedRealtor #TheHomeToLove #ListingAgent #KatyRealtor#Moving #HoustonHomes #HomeBuying #LicensedToSell #NewJob #Repairs #Renovations #FamilyNeeds #ChangingFamily #HoustonRealtors #TexasHomes #LicensedRealtor H.J. “Hutch” Lango (281) 685-9327 HLango@kw.com

Tenants don't want you ghosting them.   "My tenants just want to be left alone."   Heard that before?   It's wrong, and here's why.   They want to know someone is thinking of them.   Asking how they are, how is their community, anything they need.   "They'll just dump on me."   How true! Yes, the first time, but don't you want to know the issue?   If you can't fix it or it's not your issue, they still like that you asked.   "I want a roof over my car", "I want someone to walk my dog", "I want a Ring doorbell", "I want more storage".   Hearing any opportunities to upsell?   But here's the kicker.   "Hey Sally, we have a great unit coming available soon . Know anybody who might be interested?"   You're talking, they're friendly, it's easy to slide this in.   What do you learn from your tenants? Ever learned anything that just completely transformed your property?

Sucking people into housing? 1) We know the tools to assist people during rising housing pressure, but how do communities leverage resources to move their neighbors home during softer markets? 2) How do we encourage softening markets to keep building for a season to develop the light touch middle? 3) How do we celebrate neighbors and resource housing re-entry with newly available housing? Austin and Nashville are prime communities to lead the way with new solutions. Will they do it? 4) What are your recommendations? https://lnkd.in/erb5M6uf

For homebuilders, managing the complexities of building new homes is challenging due to data silos, regulations and regional or localized strategies. In this blog post, we outline how homebuilders can build operational efficiencies and enhance data-driven precision throughout the community development lifecycle with Dealpath: https://bit.ly/3QLfyIi #homebuilders #cre #newconstruction

How likely is it that the legislature will recognize that the policies they are pursuing are directly responsible for the housing shortage getting worse and workforce housing developers bolting these jurisdictions? Places with massive shortages of housing should be a magnet for developers looking to fill that demand. The fact that things are getting worse falls squarely at the feet of policymakers.

Give My View isn’t just for Property Developers. It’s for anyone, from any business, within any industry, who simply wants to find out more about their local communities. By engaging with them digitally, on a much deeper level, we increase diversity by accessing younger audiences, providing much more detailed feedback about how people really feel. We recently Partnered with a Local Authority who wanted to find out more about how they could make females safer in their communities, after 97% of women had reported experiencing harassment in public, which was causing serious safety concerns. The results (below) speak for themselves. The Local Authority has since installed more CCTV and street lighting to the affected community in turn making females feel more safe. This is one that we’re really proud of! Whether you’re a property developer and want to find out how your local community will react to your next site, or whether you’re a Local Authority trying to establish how to make your communities feel safer, or anyone in between, we’ve got you covered. #givemyview #proptech #accountmanagement #saassales #communityengagement
