When will the Real Estate Revolution Start?

Homes are emotional and humans have a hard time cleaning out their closets, let alone actually selling their homes. Its oftentimes the most important and largest asset for families and it matters a lot to people. More than anything they probably own.

The startup graveyard is chock-full of companies/entrepreneurs who realized that the way we buy and sell real estate sucks but have never figured out how to change our buying and selling habits.

Zillow, Redfin, purple bricks, and HonestDoor all make buying real-estate easier but still kick the close over to the agents themselves.

Is this the start of a new renaissance? Armed with advancements in new technology and a massive shift in consumer behavior - can HonestDoor and companies like it break our old habits?

In the next 5 - 10 years are we going to be selling and closing on real estate differently than we do today?

We don’t have the answer but the winds are shifting and Dan is at the heart of that shift here in Alberta.
