Baby broker joins VARbuzz contributor list
Ben Martin, blogmaster emeritus writes:
I’m extra excited to announce our newest VARbuzz contributor, Matt Wilkins from Lake Ridge. What makes Matt so special is that he opened his own real estate brokerage at age 26, making him a Generation Y broker. And, well, you may have noticed that there aren’t a whole lot of those around.
He runs his business differently than many other brokers: For example, he doesn’t currently want to bring on any agents because he can be just as efficient (or moreso) by putting technology to work for him instead (and besides, software programs and smartphones don’t suck the life out of you like some agents can). His bread and butter business is not in traditional agency, and Matt definitely knows his tech toys. Oh, and you can meet him at VAR’s Convention & Expo 2008.
So, ladies and gentlemen, please give a warm VARbuzz welcome to Matt Wilkins!
Cheers and applause!
Interesting insights on Matt’s approach, Ben. It’s remarkable that he has learned at an early stage that less is sometimes more. A graphic designer, I didn’t realize until after operating a 12-person ad agency that I could get more done in less time and more profitably working solo — and enjoy it more. Matt is a fast learner!
Congrats Matt from a member of the OAR!
Welcome Matt! Great to have you on varBuzz!
Congrats, Matt, and great choice, Ben! I love technology, but have a difficult time chasing it. Looking forward to reading your posts. It’s amazing that you’re a broker at 26.
