These are exciting times for the real estate industry. New startups, new tools, and new business models are changing the way real estate professionals engage with consumers. But Tom Flanagan thinks we need even more innovation in the real estate space, and believes we’re right on the edge of a major shift in how agents and brokers do business.
As Vice President of Technology at Alain Pinel Realtors in Silicon Valley, Tom certainly has his finger on the pulse of tech. He’s been named one of the 100 most influential people in real estate by Inman News, and he’s been a featured speaker at events like Real Estate Connect and the Google IT Summit. In this interview, Tom breaks down what today’s new agents need to do to get off to a strong start, and explains why the internet of things is “the next big thing” for our industry.
