Inman Connect’s Post

Heading to the airport soon to begin the 1789 mile journey home. These past three days have been JAM PACKED with learning, teaching, networking at Inman Connect. I’m exhausted, but very fulfilled. I will write more on this when my head clears a bit, but the main takeaway for me at this moment is that our industry is facing 6-8 months of confusion and chaos. To those who have stuck their head in the sand regarding the coming rule changes, I say “Good Luck to You.” If you are a leader who has refused to develop extensive and personalized directed training to guide your agents, I say “SHAME ON YOU!” Your laziness will cost some of your agents their careers. And thats on you! Scott Rowland and I commented often over the past few days that most of the sessions sounded like our own office conversations we have been having for over a year and a half as we diligently focused on developing Benchmark Realty, LLC’s strategy for getting through these changes. Based on what I saw, I would stack our position, education, training, and agent knowledge base against any brokerage in the country. Yep, the ENTIRE country. Well done to the Benchmark team for being diligent and methodical in these preparations. We are ready, and there will be no chaos in our house. #BeBetterBeBenchmark #DiscoverBenchmark #benchmarkrealtytn
