Many of the techniques used in the past aren't as effective as they once were because of the consumer's changing demographic. The best thing I've every learned from those who have more experience than me is that Real Estate is relational and we have to be involved with people. We can't dismiss history and experience or progress and changes. Bryan,

My guess is that the numbers are pretty similar throughout other state associations. Question: could you post up the data to show some additional information regarding each generation and how long the members have been in the business: Example: GEN X -- 5 years or less: 60%; >5 years: 35%; >10 years 5% Thanks. Scott,
