eXp agents and leaders gathered this week at Inman Connect in Austin. A few key takeaways: 1) There is a lot of confusion about what Clear Cooperation is and isn't. 2) Great agents thrive in every market and through every change. 3) The settlement changes are leveling up buyer agents skills. Old state-- throw a buyer in your car and show them a house. New normal -- demonstrate value, expertise, service, knowledge, and get hired to represent the buyer. 4) There was some optimism about 2025 market conditions but more focus on improving what you can control versus worrying about the uncontrollable factors. 5) The eXp agents and leaders in this photo represent some of the top producers in their respective markets. Pros are constantly investing in their skills. And at eXp they collaborate and share their expertise. #wheretheprosgotogrow #eXpRealty #inmannews #icAustin #inmanconnect #realestate

More helpful analysis of the role of large providers of single-family rental homes. In short: large providers don’t have an outsize influence on housing markets and are not impacting homeownership. If the goal is to expand opportunities for homeownership, we need to build more housing and invest more in housing. https://lnkd.in/eXXHjVyZ

Thirty Madison "Core Group" Dallas Meeting Yesterday It was great to meet in-person and really connect with everyone. Being an entrepreneur is a lonely road and having a support system of other high-level Founders is a must. Everyone walked away with a ton of action items and break-throughs on the spot. Here are just a few items we discussed and problems solved for --> Hiring a VA and delegate low ROI activities --> How to balance personal life vs business --> How to build a Linked-In Marketing Funnel to drive customers at $0 cost --> One member in the middle of a business acquisition and we solved for pitfalls with the broker. --> How to scale with Facebook ads profitably --> How to leverage a recruiter, so that you can hire the best talent possible --> How to raise prices so that you can take on less/better clients more profitably --> Building a business that has an impact well beyond monetary needs and leaving a legacy for years after. --> How to manage calendar, so you can free up your time and work on high leverage activities --> Working above the business and not in the business Ben Neal Lead Chair Bryan Camella Britt Talbert (TJ) Thomas Schier, JrTerrell Jackson Carrie D. Fabris Kyle Peterson Christopher Burgess Obi Alfred Gina Martin Sanjay Kalluvilayil Our next meeting is the first week in June. DM me to claim a June spot— as we have very-limited openings.

🧬 This week's Austin Bio + Health Roundup highlights significant data trends, my stance on covering funding announcements, new partnerships, and action across the Texas Bio Triangle. 🧬 💰 Funding: The Way I Plan to Cover Funding Announcements You may have seen reports of a local Bio & Health startup’s funding round through an SEC report filing. While some outlets have covered this, my position is not to. I prefer to support our builders directly rather than trolling the filings for scoops. There is plenty of real investigative journalism that our city would be well served by if that is where they focused. Remember I am not a journalist and I am not the media. When the company is ready to announce their round officially, I’ll gladly shout it to the rooftops. 📊 Data Peter Walker at Carta reports that in 2017, Biopharma and Medical Devices captured just under 10% of all VC dollars. By 2023, this figure rose to 17.7%, and in Q1 2024, it reached 24%. The overarching tailwinds favor our sector and region with trends towards Bio & Health and the physical & digital intersection. Energy and hardware, two other sector blossoming in Central Texas, also saw similar share gains. 🤝 M&A and Partnerships Sensi.AI, a 24/7 senior care intelligence agent, is partnering with Caring Senior Service to deploy SensiAI’s platform in Caring’s 50 locations across the US. This partnership allows seniors a better opportunity to age gracefully in their homes. 🚩 Texas Bio Triangle BioMedSA is hosting an event called Women in Bioscience, Thursday June 20th. It’s designed to connect and empower women in the bioscience industry across Central Texas, and features Randi Brosterman Hutchens discussing "Building your Personal Board." Find the link to the event in the comments. Houston-based Lokum, a staffing solution to connect clinicians and clinical staff to health care facilities, has raised a $700K pre-seed round. Congrats Ayoade (Joy) Ademuyewo on the raise. What’s Next? #AustinNext #LifeSciences #Healthcare #Biotechnology

Continuing our South Dallas focus: Let's explore the Redbird submarket. Redbird maintains stability in Q2 2024 with a tight 6.9% vacancy rate and average NNN rents of $7.08/SF. The 2.6% rent increase from Q1 is positive, indicating steady demand. Interestingly, there's no new construction in the pipeline, which could lead to a supply crunch if demand continues to grow. The low vacancy rate suggests that existing properties are well-occupied, potentially creating opportunities for value-add investments or redevelopment of older assets. The average sale price of $96/SF reflects the current market conditions and could attract investors looking for stable returns. With limited new supply on the horizon, we may see further rent growth and increased competition for available spaces. This could benefit existing property owners but may challenge expanding businesses looking for new locations within the submarket. How might Redbird's limited new supply affect future growth? Do you foresee any potential for infill development or adaptive reuse projects in this submarket? Discuss Redbird with Jimmy Holcomb! He has all the details. #SRSIndustrial #CRE #Industrial #Expert #CRETrends #Texas SRS Real Estate Partners SRS Capital Markets
