The changes just keep coming. . .

This is supposed to be the season when you’re tucked in bed as visions of sugar plums dance in your head. However, my 3:00 a.m.’s are full of visions about how to enhance and streamline our systems.

We are internally making a huge change as we transfer providers of our lead system, agent websites, company website, contact management, virtual office and mobile systems.  In 2012 we’ll be introducing new enhancements every quarter – – from mobile and iPad applications to manage your business, to video enhancement services, to a more robust client management system. Despite the workload I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am about these changes.

And in the midst of all this Brookfield has acquired Prudential Real Estate! Oh the timing!  In trying to push these systems out to you in the next 30 – 60 days I’ve hardly taken a moment to think about Brookfield and decided I should gather my thoughts before the day’s in full swing.

The obvious questions is – how will this affect us? We simply don’t have all the details yet, but I’m personally excited that Brookfield is a real estate focused company.  Mother Prudential was primarily focused on financial.  Without question, Brookfield should be able to strengthen our existing relocation relationships, present us with new opportunities and reboot our energy.

Regardless of what happens in regards to branding, the important thing to remember is we’re still locally owned and operated.  Our ownership and management group remains the same as well as the team at home office.  We will continue to operate as the local choice for St. Louis real estate. . . just like we always have.

And now back to work! Talk to you all soon.
