First Dream Resolution

We resolve to actually resolve! Why not? If we don't, others assuredly will and are. From the top floor (NAR), to the mezzanine (local associations), to our market models (owner-controlled companies) we resolve to take back the industry in favor of the consumer. We need a popular uprising, fueled by steely determination that does something, anything almost, to create meaningful and practical change.

Second Dream Resolution

We resolve as an industry to write the new rules for the real estate industry ourselves, rather than assuming a passive, spectator position that relinquishes the front line battle and its command-and-control to Non-Brokers.

Third Dream Resolution

We resolve, once and for all, to engage in the deliberate, systematic and thorough overhaul of our traditional business models that cannot bring us the ROI that is commensurate with our industry's power to shape national economic outcomes.

Fourth Dream Resolution

We hereby resolve that we will create economic models and technology tools that are truly are dramatically effective in the Consumer-Centric era. We will design and deploy frameworks in the market place that actually allow the consumer to build our companies with us.

Fifth Dream Resolution

We resolve, hereby and herein, to streamline and simplify the transaction process, once and for all, through the strategic implementation of paperless technologies that are applied to the front, middle and end of the real estate investment cycle.

Sixth Dream Resolution

We now resolve, together and if need be, separately, to minimize our dependency upon fixed, bricks-and-mortar, capital guzzling, high-maintenance, low profit, retail business models in favor or the adoption of Internet-based total market penetration models.

Seventh Dream Resolution

Finally, as owners, we resolve to adopt the Ten Commandments of the New Real Estate Economy or, portions thereof, as a compass to guide us and our organizations in the quest toward model perfect.

Happy New Year to every real estate company owner from e-Partner.
