In this episode he walks through his unlikely pivot from high-stakes forensic data analytics into concert production and hospitality, sharing how chasing down a Pig Latin taco food truck on a bicycle led to a 32-seat speakeasy sensation and inspired the audacious “free first” mantra that fills COATI with art, tacos and events.Along the way Aaron launched Atlas Restaurant Group as an operational umbrella for everything from a decade-old vegan juice bar to a pop-up concert series, and even tested a rum distillery pilot that never scaled, but taught him invaluable lessons in location, partnership and brand DNA.

Du möchtest günstig eine Immobilie kaufen? Dazu kann man sich als erstes mit der Immobilienpreise Karte von Immowelt einen guten Überblick verschaffen. Ebenso eignet sich der Preisspiegel der LBS der die durchschnittlichen Kaufpreise je Quadratmeter für Häuser, Wohnungen und Grundstücke für viele Städte angibt. Für Hamburg und das Umland, sowie Schleswig-Holstein gibt es außerdem den sehr ausführlichen Immobilienmarktatlas der LBS mit detaillierten Karten und Analysen. Konkreter kann der Immobilien-Kompass von Capital dir auf einer Karte die durchschnittlichen Kaufpreise je Quadratmeter für Häuser und Wohnungen auf Stadt- oder bei großen Städten sogar Stadtteilebene anzeigen. Die Wohnlage gibt es sogar bis zur Baublockebene. Im Preisatlas von Homeday werden die Wohnlage und Preise bis auf Baublockebene angezeigt. Die Immowelt Haus- und Wohnungspreise sind sogar Gebäudegenau. Informationen zu Grundstückspreisen gibt es manchmal bis zur Ebene der Stadtteile bei Immowelt. Möchtest du Bauen, so könnte der Bau- und Immobilienpreisindex des Statistischen Bundesamtes mit Entwicklungen zu Baupreisen interessant sein. Finden kannst du Anzeigen z.B. in den üblichen Portalen, bei Hausbaufirmen, in Zeitungsanzeigen, in Aushängen, in den sozialen Medien oder im Austausch mit Bekannten. Kay empfiehlt auch gerade bei den kleinen Portalen zu gucken. Etwas günstiger kann es bei geförderten Neubaugebieten oder Erbpachtgrundstücken werden, ebenso wenn du über die Grenzen beliebter Städte bzw. Stadtteile hinaus guckst oder deine Ansprüche runtersetzt. Auch kannst du Immobilien ersteigern. Hast du eine interessante Anzeige gefunden so solltest du dann sehr schnell sein und dich möglichst sofort melden und kurzfristig einen Termin ausmachen. Gut vorbereitet kannst du dann mit allen Fragen und benötigten Unterlagen ins Gespräch gehen. Empfehlenswert ist vorab die Finanzierung grob zu klären. Dann brauchst du nur noch Glück.

Kahlschlag bei den Hybrid-Maklern: Ende mit Schrecken oder kurzer Ruckler auf dem Weg zum Erfolg?Lange Zeit galt eines als sicher: Wohnimmobilien verkaufen sich wie geschnitten Brot und die Makler hangeln sich von Rekordumsatz zu Rekordumsatz. Gerade die Wachstumsstarken Hybridmakler setzten ihre Symbiose aus digitalem und analogem Geschäft gekonnt in Szene und entwickelten sich in Rekordzeit zu den (mit-)bestimmenden Akteuren am Markt. Mit dem Ukraine-Krieg und den Zinserhöhungen kommt nun die kalte Dusche – viele Hybridmakler bauen Stellen ab und von Wachstum ist erst einmal keine Rede mehr. Doch wie geht es weiter? Ist das Konzept überholt? Wurde das schnelle Wachstum zur Falle für Homeday, McMakler und Co. oder erleben wir gar eine Entdigitalisierung des Maklerberufs? Was hält die Zukunft der Hybridmakler für uns bereit? Diese Fragen diskutieren Nikolai Roth, Gründer von Maklaro und Vorstandsmitglied der German Proptech Initiative, und Björn Bialon, Gründer des Hybridmaklers CALEO, mit Jasper Radü in der aktuellen Folge des „PB3C Talks“.

Dmitri Uvarovski von Homeday spricht diese Woche mit Erik über die Disruption auf dem Immobilienmarkt. Der Immobilienmarkt galt lange als intransparent und unter-digitalisiert, doch mittlerweile transformiert sich der Markt - nicht zuletzt durch Startups die mithilfe von Technologie und kundenzentriertem Service den Markt verändern. Mit Dmitri betrachten wir die besonderen Herausforderungen im Markt, die Ausgangslage und die Marketingstrategien von Homeday. Dmitri Uvarovski (Co-Founder & CMO) verantwortet bei Homeday das Marketing. Nach seinem Studium der Betriebswirtschaftslehre an der Universität Mannheim baute er den Bereich Business Intelligence beim Musik-Streaming-Service simfy auf, wo er als erster Mitarbeiter einstieg.

Im ersten Nachmittagsinterview begrüßen wir Andreas Bodczek, CEO bei IDnow. IDnow ist ein Münchner Anbieter für Identitätsprüfungen, und deckt den Prozess der elektronischen Signatur bis zur automatisierten und videobasierten unterstützten Identitätsprüfung ab.. Anlass des Gesprächs ist die Übernahme des französischen Unternehmens Ariadnext durch IDnow. Ariadnext besteht seit 2010 und ist im gleichen Segment unterwegs. Laut Presseberichten lag der Kaufpreis bei knapp 60 Millionen US$. Mit der Übernahme kommen nicht nur 125 neue Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter an Bord, sondern auch wichtige Kunden wie die Banken Société Générale und Crédit Mutuel sowie der französische Mobilfunkanbieter Bouygues Telecom. Im zweiten Interview sprechen wir mit Christian Hellmann, Head of Brand bei Homeday. Der bundesweite Immobilienmakler Homeday hat eine Exklusiv-Partnerschaft mit Hertha BSC verkündet. Im Interview geht es vor allem um die Werbewirksamkeit dieser Maßnahme und um die erhofften Effekte für Markenbekanntheit und Branding. Zeitgleich geht es auch um die allgemeine Bedeutung von Branding-Maßnahmen, da Homeday ja mit McMakler einen direkten Mitbewerber hat.

In questo podcast ti racconto perché l'agenzia immobiliare ibrida sarà il futuro e ti spiego cosa fare per diventarlo prima che sia troppo tardi.Quando le agenzie immobiliari online sono apparse sulla scena immobiliare, molti pensavano che il settore fosse sulla strada buona per cambiare per sempre.Era il 2009, quando in UK faceva il suo ingresso sul campo la startup di Russell Quirk, Emoov.Tra l'altro, qualche tempo fa ho intervistato proprio Russell per parlare di agenzia immobiliare del futuro: clicca qui per approfondire.Le grandi promesse a livello di sconti provvigionali e la modernità di approccio in linea con gli ultimi trend tecnologici, erano tra le altre cose gli asset che posizionavano ottimamente il modello online per una scalata incredibile.Dopotutto, ormai tutti i settori - incluso quello assicurativo e quello finanziario - stavano andando verso una prepotente digitalizzazione dei propri servizi.Nel 2014 il modello riceveva la sua consacrazione: era arrivata alla ribalta Purplebricks, il nome più popolare.Fu un successo, in pochi anni una quotazione in borsa, l'apertura in diversi mercati internazionali.Ma agenzia immobiliare online non è solo UK, ci sono state - e continuano ad esistere - anche realtà differenti in diversi Stati europei e non, come:- Compass e Redfin in USA;- Meilleurs Agent in Francia;- Homeday in Germania;- Propertista in Spagna;Per approfondire visita l'articolo: micheleschirru.it/agenzia-ibrida-futuro

Micha und Maximilian sind in Berlin aufgewachsen, beide sind Herthafans und leben in Dubai. Gemeinsam sprechen wir über ihr Fanleben im Exil, das Alltagsleben in Dubai, den HERTHA DXB (Hertha BSC Fan Club Dubai) und natürlich über den Heimsieg gegen Gelsenkirchen. Insbesondere die Leistungen von Cordoba und Guendouzi haben uns dabei begeistert. Der verdiente Punktgewinn täuscht leider nicht darüber hinweg, dass Hertha Verstärkungen auf den Außenbahnen braucht, um ein anderes Manko zu beheben: Die fehlenden Konstanz.. Wir hoffen auf eine Leistungsbestätigung gegen Köln / Bielefeld und sind froh, dass man sich gegen Gelsenkirchen nicht blamiert hat. 72 Minuten für die Ohren. Bleibt gesund!

Link: https://micheleschirru.it/la-mia-intervista-a-russell-quirk-founder-di-emoov-co-founder-di-properganda-pr-investor-director-in-keller-williams/Qualche settimana fa, nell'ambito del mio podcast PropTech Italia e del portale Unissu, ho avuto il piacere di intervistare Russell Quirk.Russell, numero 1 nella Top 10 dei principali influencer nel Regno Unito. Fondatore di Emoov, co-fondatore di Properganda PR, Investor Director in Keller Williams UK e molto altro ...Per me, e sono sicuro di non essere il solo, è sempre molto piacevole stare ad ascoltarlo perché rappresenta una fonte inesauribile di risorse.È una figura molto influente, se prendiamo in considerazione il settore immobiliare nel mondo anglosassone. Per questo motivo, non sorprende che sia stato recentemente premiato come miglior influencer per il PropTech in UK.Ecco qui l'articolo che presenta la lista...Il quadro attuale del mondo PropTechNel corso degli anni, lo abbiamo visto coinvolto in diverse conferenze, eventi, spettacoli, mettendosi sempre in prima linea sulle discussioni legate al futuro del settore immobiliare e sulle implicazioni che la digital transformation avrà sulla vita di clienti e professionisti immobiliari.Diciamoci la verità: l'immobiliare è stato il settore tra i più lenti ad adottare la tecnologia.Questo è vero per il Regno Unito, ma ancora di più per il resto del mondo.I "trend-setter" per eccellenza sono sicuramente gli Stati Uniti e il Regno Unito, ma da qualche tempo anche altre regioni d'Europa stanno cercando di fare la loro parte del lavoro.Germania e Francia meritano una menzione in questo senso; sicuramente l'interesse crescente per Axel Springer in aziende proptech come Homeday, inizialmente, e Meilleurs Agents, recentemente, è un segnale forte.Qui il loro comunicato stampa al riguardo.Ma non è tutto qui, perché anche Spagna e Finlandia stanno rafforzando la loro posizione, così come l'Italia, dove grazie al PropTech Monitor siamo a conoscenza della presenza di oltre 120 aziende proptech per il solo 2019.Tra l'altro, ho recentemente scritto un articolo su Unissu - che puoi leggere qui - sull'ascesa della PropTech italiano.Ma in Italia, questi sviluppi si sono verificati circa 7 anni dopo che qualcosa ha iniziato a muoversi molto nel Regno Unito.Un cambio di paradigma?L'interesse per Axel Springer in Meilleurs Agent è un segnale che, a conferma di quanto Russell dirà più avanti nell'intervista, l'interesse si stia spostando dall'agenzia immobiliare online, fornendo servizi diretti al consumatore, ad un modello in cui i servizi sono, di contro, rivolti agli agenti ed agli operatori del settore."Penso che la strada da percorrere in modo sostenibile per le agenzie immobiliari sia sfruttare gli agenti ed il loro personal brand, aiutandoli con l'amministrazione, la conformità e così via. Questo è quello che avrei dovuto fare diversamente con Emoov. Sarei dovuto diventare un Keller Williams nel Regno Unito già nel 2018, facendo pagare un tariffa intera dell'1,5% più IVA in caso di vendita. "Era il 2009 quando Russell fondò Emoov, uno dei progetti più interessanti nell'intero spettro delle proptech, un business che ha attirato l'attenzione a livello globale. Non è stato il primo - la prima agenzia immobiliare online è stata Hatched di Adam Day, prima acquisita da Connells e poi chiusa nel 2018, ma certamente Russell ha saputo farsi strada e far crescere i risultati.All'epoca, ma anche adesso, ovviamente si stava concentrando molto sull'agenzia immobiliare online, essendo stato un agente immobiliare per molto tempo.Come forse saprai, per Emoov le cose non sono andate molto bene. Dopo 9 anni, anche dopo essersi uniti a Tepilo, Channel 4 e Urban.co.uk, dopo essere stati investiti 29 milioni di sterline all'interno del business, nel 2018 Emoov è entrata in amministrazione controllata e Russell ha dovuto trovare un modo alternativo per guadagnarsi da vivere.“Avrei dovuto esplorare in modo più aggressivo con il mio CdA la possibilità di diventare un agente a tariffa piena e che utilizzava esperti locali, utilizzava la tecnologia e la centralizzazione operativa. Ed in realtà ho chiuso il cerchio quando ho iniziato a guardare cosa diavolo avrei dovuto fare per vivere. Era il gennaio 2019, mi sono chiesto: come pago le tasse scolastiche e come posso nutrire la mia famiglia?”E qui arriva Properganda PR e così via, come ci dirà in realtà nell'intervista ...“La cosa ovvia per me era fare PR. Perché ho un profilo ed una reputazione nell'immobiliare, era naturale che lo facessi per altre persone ed ora abbiamo molti clienti che ne traggono beneficio come propaganda PR. ”Ma non andiamo oltre...

I love getting to chat with creatives I follow on instagram. I don't think I will ever tire of saying that. It is just so much fun to learn about the creative process of others and also how they fit being a creative into their daily lives. I was so honored to have Lesley on the podcast. We had a great chat about all things sewing and I really wanted to know more about how Lesley runs her handmade business. She chats about pricing, photography, products, and so much more. It was a lovely chat and I really was inspired by her design sense as well. I just love her work and I know you will too. Click to listen or find the podcast on iTunes and Stitchr.

Jeels ist Projektmanager Operations bei Homeday – einem technologiegetriebenen Maklerunternehmen. Homeday schafft für Verkäufer und Käufer ein bisher nicht dagewesenes Kundenerlebnis. Jeels schätzt Effizienz. Deshalb ist für ihn ein schlanker und für den Kunden transparenter Prozess besonders wichtig. Homeday-Makler unterstützen Immobilienverkäufer und Käufer bundesweit. Dabei verknüpft Homeday innovative Technologie mit einzigartiger Immobilienbewertungs- expertise und professioneller, persönlicher Beratung. Die gute Erfahrung für alle Beteiligten, während des gesamten Vermittlungsprozesses, steht im Vordergrund. Jeels studierte Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen dual in Kooperation mit einem großen Automobilzulieferer. Bereits als Student war er selbstständig und setze mehrere Ideen um. Fotografie und Videos zählen zu seinen großen Leidenschaften abseits des Immobiliensektors. Dein Pitch In einer der spannendsten Phasen bin ich Teil eines erfolgreichen Unternehmens. Mit Homeday machen wir den Immobilienmarkt transparenter und denken den Immobilienverkauf neu. Womit und wie verdienst Du Dein Geld? Homeday verdient Geld mit dem Verkauf von Immobilien. Hierbei setzen wir sowohl auf eigene, als auch auf Partner-Makler. Mit dem Preisatlas von Homeday gibt es erstmals vollständige Transparenz. Jeder kann nachvollziehen, was der Nachbar gezahlt hat oder was das eigene Haus wert ist. Das ist einzigartig für den deutschen Immobilienmarkt. Bislang gibt es das nur in anderen Ländern wie den USA. Verkäufer können den Preisatlas nutzen, um den richtigen Verkaufspreis zu erzielen und zu entscheiden, ob sie jetzt oder später verkaufen sollten. Käufer haben volle Preistransparenz und wissen, wann sie für ihre Traumimmobilie zu viel bezahlen. Außerdem stärkt das Wissen ihre Verhandlungsposition gegenüber Maklern und Verkäufern. Die Preisberechnungen erfolgen auf Basis des von uns selbst entwickelten Algorithmus. Der auf Machine Learning basierende Ansatz berücksichtigt über 150 Merkmale. Die Quadratmeterzahl, die Anzahl der Zimmer, der Abstand zu Nahverkehrsmitteln, die Anzahl der Schulen und die Entfernung zu Parks beeinflussen den Immobilienwert und damit den Preis innerhalb einer Wohngegend. Unser Algorithmus kombiniert alle relevanten Merkmale miteinander. Auf diese Weise sind viel genauere Preisschätzungen möglich. Wie wichtig ist für Dich Geld? / Macht Geld glücklich? Geld ist in der heutigen Gesellschaft ein notwendiges Mittel, um sich flexible Zeit und Freiheit zu ermöglichen. Es macht mich weder glücklich, noch unglücklich - es ist jedoch ein schönes Gefühl, wenn gute Leistung in interessanten Aufgaben auch finanziell belohnt wird. Leider habe ich in meinem Bekanntenkreis bereits gesehen, wie abhängig man von Geld und Statussymbolen werden kann. Ich versuche mich nach und nach davon zu lösen und zu identifizieren, was mir einzelne Dinge wert sind. Was war Dein schlimmster Moment als Investor? Eine der spannendsten Erfahrungen in meiner Vergangenheit war sicherlich ein zu perfektes Produkt auf den Markt bringen zu wollen. Man bekommt kein Feedback vom Markt und verliert viel Zeit. Zudem habe ich gelernt, wie wichtig ein gutes Team ist. Menschlich wie fachlich. Wir machen bei Homeday viele Dinge anders und versuchen Fehler von früher wenn möglich nicht zu wiederholen. Ein Thema, das uns bei Homeday sehr am Herzen liegt, sind unsere Mitarbeiter. Wir legen großen Wert und verwenden sehr viel Zeit darauf die richtigen Mitarbeiter zu finden, und eine Umgebung zu schaffen, in der sich unsere Mitarbeiter wohl fühlen und große unternehmerische Verantwortung übernehmen können. Wir suchen keine Mitarbeiter, die in unserer Firma, sondern gemeinsam mit uns an der Firma arbeiten möchten. Wie hast Du es geschafft, Deine Leidenschaft zu finden? Immobilien waren schon immer interessant für mich und ich habe mich schon früh mit dem Immobilienmarkt und den Transaktionsprozessen beschäftigt. Die ersten Erfahrungen macht man als Mieter: Informationen zu validieren ist anfangs nicht einfach. Zuletzt habe ich selbst gekauft und dabei meine ersten Erfahrungen sammeln können, wie intransparent der Markt ist und Informationen kaum, beziehungsweise nur schwer zugänglich sind (z.B. Preise). Wie triffst Du Entscheidungen? Ich versuche so viele Fakten wie möglich zu sammeln und verschiedene Personen zu konsultieren, die ich sehr für ihr breites Wissen schätze. Aufgaben in kleinere Teile aufteilen hilft mir oft. Generell ist mir wichtig Herausforderungen nicht isoliert zu betrachten. Am Ende beziehe ich alle Fakten mit ein und höre auf mein Bauchgefühl bei welcher Möglichkeit ich mich wohl fühle. Mir ist wichtig, dass ich später zurückblicken kann und keine Entscheidung bereue. Wenn ich in dem Moment und bei gegebener Informationslage davon überzeugt war, ist es einfacher rückblickend gelassen zu bleiben. Wie bekommst Du Deinen „inneren Schweinehund“ in den Griff? Es ist immer schön befreit das machen zu können worauf man wirklich Lust hat. Ich möchte in diesen schönen Momenten keine Pflichten im Kopf haben müssen, die ich aufgeschoben habe und die mich nicht entspannen lassen. Mit dem Gedanken kann ich mich motivieren auch unbequeme Aufgaben zeitnah zu erledigen und danach zu entspannen. Verabschiedung Ich habe über die letzten Jahre die Erfahrung gemacht, dass es in guten Zeiten selten so gut und in schlechten Zeiten selten so schlecht läuft wie es sich zum jeweiligen Zeitpunkt anfühlt. Sich darüber bewusst zu sein, ist wichtig und hilft in mancher Situation allzu große Euphorie oder Sorge wieder zu relativieren. https://www.homeday.de/preisatlas/de-DE Kontaktdaten des Interviewpartners kontakt@homeday.de
