Happy Holidays, See You in 2012!
As I write my final message to you for 2011, I reflect fondly on the many conversations I've had with you throughout the year and I'm thankful. For us in commercial real estate it seems that 2011 has been an interesting and somewhat stable year. It certainly started out strong in early 2011 only to slow to a moderate pace. Nonetheless, I've heard from some of you that revenues and personal income has met or exceeded expectations. Congratulations to all!
This time of year is perfect for reflecting on the hard work and personal accomplishments reached. It is a time to look with perspective at what our work means in a broader sense. Everyone likes to be productive. Everyone likes to work with a sense of purpose. It seems over the past couple years, we've seen more and more companies work on the social responsibilities of their business. It seems that gone are the days when business operates strictly for the benefit of its shareholders with the bottom line being the only top priority. Today it seems shareholders and stakeholders expect more and they will reward companies for good corporate social responsibility.
More and more it seems that recognition of the power and importance of small business and entrepreneurship is occurring at a more rapid rate. I know most of you either think highly entrepreneurial or function in a company of 20 or less people. That's where most of the innovation comes from and that's where we're going to see the greatest growth as we move into 2012. From the feedback I have received, I can tell that overall our industry made some strides to implement the "right stuff". You've been working this year to implement better processes through technology. It seems many of you have learned that by increasing efficiency, you have been able to reduce costs and put fewer burdens on the most important natural resource you have- you and those you work with.
At RealWired!, we are fortunate that we can look back on 2011 and feel that we were successful in our mission to help others learn to use good processes and technology to streamline the real estate process, whatever that process is. In your world that might be a lease, a construction project, a sale, property management activities, processing loans, performing appraisals and analytics, etc. We so strongly believe in this that we recently launched a new product that comes with free custom consulting to make certain the software fits into each company as expected. We're "wrapping" the software in customer service. From the beginning our clients get their own personal "implementer", and it's all for free.
So what will we look forward to next year? Let's wait until January when I return. During the holidays, in between eating too much and having fun with friends and family, I'll have some fun researching the best things implemented during 2011 and make some suggestions of things for you to think about in 2012. I know my ongoing struggle will remain trying to keep my "In Box" clear. I'm sure you're going to be much more ambitious!!
Happy Holidays and thanks for letting me into your "office" each week!
