I just love the youth – their enthusiasm, their energy, their eagerness and their burning passion for life. 

It’s true that generations come and go and each one is unique – each reacting and changing what previous generations have done over time.   

And now it is time again. Baby Boomers are slowly making way for the next generation to assume leadership of the industry. Not that this is a one–day event, but rather a decade of transition. One that we are already part of. 

It is important to note that the impact of both Gen X and Gen Y outside real estate is already very significant – just think of MySpace, Dell Computers, eBay, Yahoo, Google, You Tube and Facebook – all legacy of that generations’ alumni. 

They have unquestionably forever left their Internet footprint on society and business. 

In real estate they expected to also make their mark – Echo Boomers (Gen Y) have been listed as the next major generational event – the next “bubble” if you will - their impact being compared to that of the Boomers.  

If you are aware of any Gen X or Echo Boomers that are already making their mark on real estate share with us their names and companies.
