I saw the inauguration. It seems to me that Obama is like Dr. Pepper- people either love him, or they hate him. Regardless, most change is good. And the opportunity to adapt to change- good or bad- is incredible.

I’m working from home today because my daughter is sick. This is the time of year in the Northeast when people start feeling a little cabin fever- it’s been snow, snow, snow. I’m busy with real estate stuff, as usual, but I am trying to react to the change that I see happening in the industry, and to implement the ideas that I picked up at the Inman Connect NYC conference. Ultimately, my goal is to be in that place where I am not reacting- I want to be the instrument of change.

Great article about adapting to change can be found here. And it’s true- why bother taking listings if you don’t have the marketing in place to find the buyers- if you just sink into the backdrop of the main street storefronts and don’t reach a larger consumer base.

I feel like the time for reaction is over. There is a sea change in the air; spring will be here soon; 2 million people in Washington D.C. felt hope strongly enough to brave the cold just to see one man make a public promise to the country.

It’s time to be bold. It’s time to be brave. It’s time to be an instrument of change.
