#RECALL / #RE2020: If you're a big thinker -- real estate consumer advocate or #RETech innovator, invite you to the last live session of MIT's uLab today. If you're not familiar with Theory U, you can learn more about that theory of change & mission in this short, but highly inspirational video:

uLab is an enormously popular MOOC -- Massive Open Online Course -- that's attracted over 100,000 students spanning more than 100 countries. Their last session is on developing prototypes, so if you're dreaming of a new venture or are already in a startup phase, however modest, tune in! The livestream is FREE and starts at 10am today (available online afterwards for those with a scheduling conflict):

If you'd like to follow-up, will gladly use the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party 12/16/21, to host a meeting -- online, virtual or hybrid -- to compare thoughts on the Best of / Worst of 2021 from the real estate consumer's perspective, and dream about solutions to current problems moving into the future!

uLab provides a U-shaped framework for evaluating what's ending, what's presenting as a problem or opportunity, and what's emerging. Want a real estate version of that to compare your own insights and hypotheses?

T3 Sixty is offering their Swanepoel Trends Report Overview online at 1pm ET today and here's a bullet list of 5 of their 10 topics this year:

Branch Manager Magic and How to Find it

Understanding Private Equity

Understanding The Technology Consolidation Wave

The Great Reshuffling

Acceleration Gets Faster

What's your take, or more specifically how will this impact real estate consumers, particularly homebuyers?

Stunning: #1 Trend = Accelerating Transformation, do you mean accelerating CONCENTRATION?

Over 50% of market share = now done by Mega1000 brokerages?

How's that reflect #InventoryGate & normalization of in-house sales, #AgencyFraud?

Yes, ask #DOJvsNAR to "Look how large players compete!"
