🥳 Congrats to one of my OG partners, for helping Claire buy a charming spot on in the Highlands.

💪 Dave flexed his negotiating skills on this one — getting a 2-1 buy down 5 figures of repairs for Claire. Wow!

🏠 With this purchase, Claire is now officially a landlord (renting her old property). Now that she’s been through the process, Claire has aspirations of growing her rental portfolio.

💰There’s nothing better than helping someone move into a new home AND into an investor seat in the same deal. With this experience in hand, Claire has the tools to build her real estate portfolio and generate life changing wealth.

💜 I couldn’t be happier for her!

I’m asking for a favor. Today is game 7. Please help the Nuggets Nation advance. 🥳

I feel you owe me one. Since I last wrote, I’ve brought✌️new humans into Nuggets Nation. I haven’t asked for much in return.

The few asks I’ve made I’m still waiting on — a backup center, decent bench depth, more than 2 starters committed to playing defense, neutral plus/minus minutes with Joker on the bench. These are modest asks for a team with championship aspirations! 🤪

All will be forgiven with a win today. Please, I’ll do whatever you ask of me, just give Nuggets Nation this one win! 🏆

A few people have asked for my thoughts on Redfin. Here it goes:

😧 On March 10th, Redfin was acquired by Rocket. The acquisition price was ~flat compared to Redfin’s IPO in 2017. Meaning, in ~8 years, ~zero shareholder value had been created. How could this be?

🏠 This is a classic situation were a tech company realizes it’s going to be super hard to grow exponentially in a fragmented, highly regulated market. The tech isn’t as disruptive as the initial investors bet it would be. To make growth happen, Redfin started to look like the companies they were supposed to disrupt; or as Vox put it in 2015, “Redfin set out to change real estate. Then real estate changed Redfin.”

💙 What’s underlying the scaling issues that Redfin faced. In one word: humans. Real estate is driven by human emotion, not algorithms.

🧑‍🧑‍🧒 Here are some typical reasons people move: newborn baby, kids starting a new school, new job, lost job, divorce, death, etc. All of these situations are super personal. That’s why real estate agents exist.

🚀 It’s easy to poke fun at real estate agents if you haven’t worked with rockstar; true rockstar agents make magic happen. They coach their clients through the emotional aspect of the deal, know the intricacies of the local market(s), find the perfect home, negotiate to get the best price, work with a top-tier loan officer to make sure the financing goes smoothly, and so much more. Compare that to Redfin and you can start to understand Redfin’s struggles. In the end, Redfin realized they needed the human touch, but went for a low-cost, low-quality approach. Low-quality isn’t what most humans want when it comes to the most important, most emotional deal of their lives.

🤝 Redfin’s lackluster results are a reminder of the value a rockstar realtor brings to their clients. I’m blessed to know many rockstar realtors. If you’re looking for an intro, give me a shout!
