Where Real Estate Gets Its Dirt

All in

From Vegas to venture capital: Navigating the uncertain path of the proptech founder

“I think as a founder, what I have found through this journey is almost every couple of months I have to be a different CEO,” Reddy said. “Like I have to be a completely different person because what was needed from me for the company a few months ago isn’t what we need today because we’re inherently shifting, evolving, scaling as the industry goes.”

A great read from Craig Rowe at Inman News. Really captures the struggles of being a founder in this space. I know a lot of the people and companies he is talking about.

Hat tip to Vanessa, Scott, Terrance, Malte, Vijay, Andy, Greg, Alex, Dan, Audie, Shelia, and many others You guys all inspire me. And a special shout out to Cole Boyer with Tuesday. LFG!

Andrea Brambila joins Real Estate News

Big news from Real Estate News: An important addition

“Many of you know Andrea as someone who has covered the real estate industry since 2009, specializing in legal and policy issues affecting associations, MLSs and brokerages. Her award-winning journalism, previously for Inman, is widely seen as accurate, fair and thorough.

I’d like to invite you to read Andrea’s first piece for RealEstateNews.com — an exclusive interview with Anne Marie DeCatsye, one of the industry’s strongest advocates for Realtor associations and MLSs to operate independently. As CEO of an association and MLS, it’s an opportunity she is well-equipped to recognize. “

So glad to see Andrea find a new home. As a loyal reader and big fan I’m stoked she decided to stay in the real estate space. My hope is that RealEstateNews.com lets Andrea do the type of reporting she is known for, yes she may ruffle some feathers from time to time, but LET ANDREA COOK!

Inman Connect San Diego Recap

“As the last day of Inman Connect wraps up, I’m sitting at the desk in my hotel room, looking out across the downtown San Diego skyline and marina. Tiny people, much more disciplined than I, are already out on their morning runs. It’s early, around 7 AM. I still navigate the host hotel, the Hilton Bayfront, with some trepidation now that Inman Connect has officially moved to San Diego from Las Vegas. “
