From the perspective of a commercial real estate broker working with creative companies all over the world including the bay area, 42Floors is going to revolutionize our industry for the better because as a broker who get it, I already see the current, archaic ways of doing things inefficient, and I will adopt 42Floors, encourage my clients to use it as well. It will become the standard as more and more brokers see the value of being a consultant and high level strategist rather than thinking time is better spent completing busy work that consumes too much time. This time can be spent on innovating our industry, adding value to our clients that will gain loyalty forever, maybe even challenging the sheer idea of real estate, and implementing a community aspect to real estate city-wide, nation-wide or even globally. we need workplace innovation and so many things are possible when we are not bogged down by the old system and ways of doing things.
I envision significant changes in the ways of doing business in this industry because of 42Floors. They have their work cut out for them, toppling a monopoly, but their beautifully designed site with accurate and expansive data and innovate plans in the works to help brokers and consumers run a deal from start to finish is the right approach.
I am not scared of being replaced in the least by 42FLoors, but rather I am excited to see what I can accomplish with it implemented and widespread.
I launched a similar type service for finding student housing near my university, so I've spent alot of time studying design of real estate sites. I've got to hand it to you guys. Well designed and very intuitive. Wish I could have taken inspiration from you guys back when I did LivenearUSC.com
