With a career spanning over 40 years, Bob has witnessed significant changes in the real estate landscape since he started in 1984. He highlights that while technology has improved efficiency and productivity, it hasn't necessarily resulted in a substantial increase in sales or transactions.Bob emphasizes that the real estate business is ultimately an information and relationship-driven industry. While technology plays a crucial role, it is only effective when high-quality and reliable data is inputted into the various technological platforms. He stresses the importance of accurate and verified data, which his team at JLL focuses on by self-producing their own data sets rather than relying on third-party aggregators.Looking ahead, Bob anticipates that the next five years will bring even more significant changes to the industry, particularly with the advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and other technologies. He mentions that AI can enhance processes and make them more efficient, but data collection should still be done by practitioners to ensure accuracy.Bob also shares some of the technologies currently being utilized by his team, such as the CRM systems Snapforce and RealNex. These systems help track and manage communication with clients, improving overall efficiency and effectiveness.  Overall, Bob's insights shed light on the evolution of technology in the real estate industry and provide valuable advice for navigating the current market challenges and opportunities. To connect with Bob and learn more about his insights and expertise, email him directly at bob.knakal@jll.com.

In this episode of CRE Radio, (audio only podcast), I interview Matt Smith, Vice President at Realnex. Matt describes Realnex as: “A one place, one stop solution….. the technology behind the deal of real estate.” Realnex, according to Matt, is essentially a commercial real estate company in a box. You grab your license and they have the “solutions to help the brokers win, from contact to close.” It is important to note that while Matt and I are involved in the business of commercial real estate, the concepts and principals expressed in our conversation are applicable to any person or business looking to boost their business through the use of social media. I originally invited Matt to discuss how he has ascended to his position of social media influencer in the commercial real estate world, (for those noncommercial real estate aficionados reading this, “CRE” is an acronym for commercial real estate). As part of the interview, we discuss his humble beginnings, natural affinity for sales, (starting with trading baseball cards) and his use of social media to help develop and increase sales as part of his business process. As part of REA, later acquired by Realnex, Matt was looking into reworking REA’s marketing process. As part of that effort, Matt explains that he started googling for information on marketing, SEO, (search engine optimization[i]) and social media. He emphasizes that, before he starts a project, he tries to educate himself on the topic. He informs himself on as much information as possible to make sure that he plans and executes the project with the greatest likelihood of success. To me, this is a key to success. It’s not that you have to be an expert or even be the person to execute every task of a project. It is, however, important to know enough of each element of a project, in order to know and understand what tasks are necessary to complete a project, the relationship of each task to other tasks and their relationship to the whole. If you are going to market online, you may not be an SEO expert, but you, at least need to know what it is and its importance to successful online marketing. Hooray for Matt’s thirst for knowledge and thoroughness. As a result of his research, Matt gained a solid understanding of SEO and the concept of backlinking in order to gain higher rankings in Google searches. He understood that through his posts and an understanding of SEO, more people would know of him, (I refer to this as “presence”). He explains that his posts were more social than strategic. According to Matt, about 8-9 years ago, of the two major social media platforms that the used for business, LinkedIn was more business focused while Twitter was much more social. He found and continues to find Twitter a great way to touch other people relevant to his business, but in a more, social way, than LinkedIn. Matt and I have found that. Twitter is really good at inciting interaction among people with similar interests. It’s not that you can’t post relevant business content, but the interaction seems more genuine and promotes relationships. You can actually like someone from Twitter interaction. To be clear, I am not talking about advertising or posting about your listings, products or services. This is a topic of another discussion. Our social media discussion includes LinkedIn, where it was, where it is and where it may be headed. Hint, more social. On my own part, as I started using Twitter, LinkedIn began losing its luster with me. I found it much easier to interact on Twitter than on LinkedIn, particularly since LinkedIn limited your network by discouraging contact with people that you didn’t already know, whereas Twitter promoted expanding your network. As a promotional tool to the wider universe, Twitter was/is more adept. With that being said, I see LinkedIn starting to adapt and change. Matt recounts a discussion with Yuhannes Watts who convinced Matt that “LinkedIn is not about you. Yuhannes explained that people don’t care about how awesome you think you are; they want to know what you can do for them.” I add, don’t tell people how awesome you are, show them. Tell stories of situations where you or your product helped people or enriched their lives. During the interview, Matt and I talk about the value of retweeting posts and whether or not you should comment when retweeting. When you retweet on Twitter, you are given the option of retweeting with or without a comment. I believe, most people appreciate when someone retweets their tweet. It spreads your post beyond your most immediate followers, and it may indicate, at least, on the surface, some level of engagement. Retweeting with a relevant comment, particularly a comment to the underlying article or post, indicates that someone has actual found the underlying article interesting enough to read, listen or watch and is a much deeper and personal form of engagement Genuine engagement is the type of engagement that can lead to relationships. Relationships can lead to trust, which is a fundamental basis for creating a business relationship and ultimately generating revenue. Matt’s Twitter posts are primarily focused on the personal and not related to his business purpose. His ultimate business purpose is to sell more RealNex subscriptions. Presence: This is also known as “branding”. He has worked towards that ultimate purpose by first becoming known on social media among his commercial real estate piers. You can’t sell anything unless people first know that you exist. Likeness: Being liked is very important in most relationships on social media. His tweets make people laugh, smile or otherwise think well of him. As a result, people like him and are more likely to follow him. We know that people do business with those that they like. Presence and likeness can create more followers. However, we know that followers alone does not necessarily translate into business. You want active followers, those that engage with you. Engagement: This is the holy grail of social media. On social media, if you are going to sell a product or service, you likely need to do more than, just be known and liked, you need engagement. Engagement occurs when two people interact with each other in a meaningful way that can lead to an ongoing relationship. Those people that engage with you on social media are active followers. It is this ongoing relationship that can lead to trust. It is trust that can lead to sales. Matt’s tweets attract followers and commercial real estate people who like him. He, of course, is a very likeable person.  This accumulation of “active” followers has garnered him some notoriety among other commercial real estate influencers, which I attribute to his increasing, social media influence. This increased exposure, presence and influence should lead to increased sales for Matt. This is not a direct sale strategy nor is it a short-term strategy. It takes time and effort. It takes an openness and willingness to be yourself and trust yourself. Howard F. Kline is a Nevada licensed real estate advisor with SVN The Equity Group, located in Las Vegas Nevada.

Jeff Finn of RealNex joins Michael via Skype to discuss the evolution of commercial real estate technology.

I am blessed to be around remarkable people. There are always Takeaways to learn. That is what I am sharing on this podcast. Takeaways – Life. Lessons. Learned. explores learning from the wisdom of others. Jeff Finn is the CEO of RealNex, a commercial real estate software company that has created a new category. Instead of just one solution, like a listing site or client relationship manager, RealNex offers a comprehensive suite of integrated solutions for the commercial real estate industry. Its the only one of its kind! That’s what Jeff does. He takes an idea and creates a new category. Like in the 1980's when he took the concept of the “commercial real estate network” and envisioned it as new category; the “managed commercial real estate network”. It was the only one of its kind. Then, seemingly out of nowhere was NAI Global, a network of commercial real estate firms comprising of 5,000 professionals and 350 offices in the US and 55 countries that is also recognized as a top 5 real estate brand in the world! Jeff sold NAI in 2012. What can you learn from a person like Jeff? Here are just a few of the Takeaways that we discussed on this episode. • What happens when you marry vision with persistence? • How are pioneers able to change the rules? • What is the best way to herd cats? Perhaps the biggest Takeaway for me appeared at about 36:00 when Jeff describes how long it took for NAI to become viable. He shared the cliché, “it never seems fast enough”. Except as he told the story back even Jeff seemed to be surprised about how quickly things actually happened. Another cliché comes to mind. “It really is about the journey not the destination”.
