Future Models of Real Estate

Notas do Editor

  1. Hello All~ I’m excited to spend the next 45 minutes with y’all exploring the future of real estate. This class is meant to be thought provoking and interactive - well the best you can while you’re eating. Just to get a feel for whose in the room, how many of you have been in business less than 5 years? 10? 20? Finish this saying if you can- “You can’t teach a old dog, new tricks.” \n\nWho in here think’s that true? Well I hope not- this class is about CHANGE- the uncomfortable kind.\n\n I want you guys to take notes and engage your selves in the possibility of what might become of our industry. You’re not allowed to say-- That’s not going to happen. Towards the end you’ll have time to engage with your table on where you see the industry going. \n\nOne last question before we get started, how many of you remember 1993? So You’ll remember..... But what about this....\n
  2. Wow- pretty close... Besides the use of the phone booth to make calls. Did you notice how heavily they predicted video on the calls? And that’s just now really trending. \n\nNow let’s look at what babies being born today will never know...\n
  3. Wow- pretty close... Except our iPads don’t come with Antinas... Did you notice how heavily they predicted video on the calls? And that’s just now really trending. \n\nThat’s what they predicted of our future, and it’s our reality today. To get en even better idea of how quickly things are changing, lets look at what technologies the babies being born today will only hear about but never experience.\n\n\n
  4. Obviously this is tv with a tube and a VHS player. But most likely babies born today will not even know what a TV is or a DVD player. We’ll see a video at the end of the class that will give you examples of tvs will be images in glass.\n
  5. When was the last time you looked at a folded up map? Who in here has used your car’s navigation or your smartphone’s map feature in the last week?\n
  6. Does anyone even know what this is? Crazy thing is- the babies today will wonder how we ever dealt with 4g wireless. They will have instant access to the information they are seeking- no wait times.\n
  7. Can we say Wikipedia? People are more reliant on google to look up information than they ever were with encyclopedias. When was the last time you were at dinner and didn’t know the answer to a question so someone at the table pulled out their smart phone to find out. \n\n I’d say with the advent of smart phones, proper etiquette at the dinner table has changed too. Think about it- who in here had there phone out at dinner at one point last night?\n
  8. Forget landlines, I’d say kids today don’t even know what a cordless phone is. Most gen Ys will never seen a phone booth, but what this slide means is the classic communication style of holding a phone up to your ear to talk. They will only know handheld devices that they hold up and see the other person and talk to them that way... and that’s if they want to talk... Based on gen Ys texting #s>>>>> INSERT >>>>>> the next generation will be even less connected verbally.\n
  9. Who in here remembers when you had an address book with all your client’s information? Now we are so reliant on our smartphones - if we loose our phone and we haven’t backed up our information- we post a request on FB for everyone to send us their information.\n
  10. This is an obvious one, but what about scanners? You know where you take a document, scan it in and e-mail it. Did you know that today you can use Scanning Apps Like “Mobile Phax” to snap a picture of the numerous pages and merge them into one document- type in the e-mail address and hit send. You no longer need to go back to your office or your home to the “scanner” to send the document.\n\n
  11. \n
  12. By today’s numbers, iPads and smart phones are out selling desk top computers, These large devices days are numbered..\n
  13. As we look at what devices generation A will never know about, we need to remember what industries have changed, and companies have morphed to stay relevant... and those that have become obsolete. \n
  14. \n
  15. When was the last time you called a travel agent to book a trip for you? \n
  16. \n
  17. With the invention of Napster- and pirating, the music industry was turned on it’s head. Add to it the introduction of the iPod and music sales have never been the same. \n\nBefore an artists popularity was reflected in record sales. Now it’s based on how many itune downloads and concert tickets they sell. Many artists, like Justin Bebber are discovered on youtube... MAYBE INSERT ELLEN VIDEO \n
  18. Kodak is an example of a company forced to morph with technology. They’ve tried to stay relevant with camera’s that you can upload to immediately after pointing and shooting. They even have an online photo share where you can make photo books and calendars. \n
  19. However they’re success of staying relevent remains to be seen with 8mgpxl cameras and video on most smart phones. \n
  20. One of the more recent companies that failed in the face of competition and technology is Blockbuster. Talk about an experience our youngest generations will never understand.... Getting in the car to drive to pick up a movie... A 30 minute adventure they’ll never understand. We all know Blockbuster is being put out of business by Netflix.... and their late arrivel to the mail-in and redbox game didn’t help.\n
  21. but with TV on Demand, Netflix and Redbox sales may head heading south as well. \n

  54. In a nation that’s had it with supersizing, and with layoffs affecting so many, it makes sense that downsizing is a real estate–related microtrend to watch.\n•With families surviving on one income, a focus on all things green and a general scorn for McMansion culture, many of us are wondering why we needed so much space in the first place.\n•Empty nesters have no need for six bedrooms.\n•According to a 2010 National Association of Home Builders report, “the median floor area of new homes started in 2010 is just above 2,100 square feet, down from 2,309 square feet in the Q1 2007.”\n•Smaller homes are easier to cool and heat, thus more green.\nLuxury is more of a miles stone marker than an everyday indulgence.\n\n
