Inman Real Estate Connect NYC: Top 7 Takeaways (With Tweets!)
We’re baaaaaack! Fresh from the Inman show in NYC. With a few flights, rapid-fire sessions, countless meetings and some quality chats over cocktails, we’ve brought in 2014 with a bang (or maybe a boom!).

Here’s a handy roundup from our team:

Keeping Your Culture Front and Center: Hire, Fire, Be Wire(d) by It
In my last post I covered the importance of culture and how to define it for your business. In this post we'll discuss hiring for it, firing for it and making it a part of your everyday decisions at work.
Hire by It
Once you've identified your core values, you'll want to hire associates who share those values, so make culture a part of your interview process. It's often said, “hire for passion first, skills second.” The same can be true for values. At BoomTown we look for values first, then ensure the candidate is a skills match. Here are some tips that have helped us build a wildly passionate and cohesive team at BoomTown:
Utilizing Culture to Attract and Retain Top Real Estate Agents for Free!
As more and more real estate teams are embracing online lead generation, your market share isn't the only thing that is getting competitive these days. The hiring market is too! You might already be recruiting through signing bonuses, coaching opportunities and innovative tools, but what do you do when the brokerage next door is doing the same thing? What if I told you there was something only your team could have and that it would lead to not only attracting top talent, but retaining it too? Oh, and it's free.
…Interested? I thought so
Well I'm talking about culture, people! Before you roll your eyes and say “yeah, yeah, we do team happy hours all the time and so does every other team in my town,” listen up! (Because I guarantee your competition thinks that's all there is to culture and this is where you gain an opportunity.)
Recruit for Success
At BoomTown we preach a lot about specific lead management best practices, but these strategies are worthless unless you have the right team in place doing the work. Some of the most frequently asked questions our clients have revolve around recruiting and growing their team. And with good reason! To hire true talent takes aContinue reading “Recruit for Success”
