By Brad Inman
Greetings, greetings, greetings. This is Brad Inman, the publisher of Inman, and I’m so happy to be here with you today.
We have some really outstanding guest speakers and panelists at today’s event to probe this existential question: What is your job?
I want to go back to the beginning of the summer. In fact, I’ve got my fallwear on to get ready for fall and cooler weather.
At the beginning of this summer, my challenge to the industry was to keep your head down, dig in, be present, be there for your customers, and do it with integrity.
My God, I never imagined how well you stood up to that challenge without me even challenging you because you were deemed an essential service. That sounded like a political term, but in reality you delivered the goods on what it meant to deliver essential services by keeping your head down.
This fall I have a different message. I’m going to ask you to — yes, to continue to do your job with integrity, and to be there for your customers — but also I want you to hold your head high.
I want you to hold your head high because you should be proud to be a real estate agent out there serving people and also hold your head high and look up because you might see opportunities.
I have three stories to make my point…

To hear Brad’s three stories — including the secret of a 700-year old redwood tree — join us today at September’s Connect Now.
Reserve your spot now. We look forward to seeing you there.
