We will be releasing some of our upgrades in the weeks to come so stay tuned. In regards to a management team with an open mind, I couldn't agree more. We can take these brokers to areas uncharted but we need a support network so it has a higher success rate. Daniel, thanks for the post.

As a REALTOR, and member of a 3-person family brokerage, I can certainly identify with the sentiment of being overwhelmed that you ran into from brokers. I would imagine that for large brokerages, the feeling is exacerbated. Your idea of having smaller departments and teams is interesting, and is probably much more suited to the larger brokerages. I think that one thing that is critical is that brokerages need to have management teams in place that are willing to have an open mind and listen to folks they might not have relied on before. Technology implementation, especially in real estate, seems to go bottom-up. If adoption is to be more widespread, the folks at the top are going to have to be willing to trust and rely upon some of the folks who are traditionally at the bottom. Can't wait to find out how Connect has inspired new upgrades and implementations for you. John,
