Quotables
“Where there’s not a balance between understanding technology and understanding the real estate business, there’s ugliness.”
“If you have a healthy balance between technology and your business, you’re going to be fine.”
“If you don’t do the work on the front end, the back end is going to be garbage. We heard garbage in, garbage out – I say nothing in, garbage out.”
“Shortcuts are not good in technology. I know that they’re designed to save time, but you have to do a little leg work.”
“Think about the investors when things got dicey in 2008-2009 who did not slam on the brakes – they did very well and they began an industry that didn’t even exist until they decided to keep going.”
“Look at your relationships, look at your network, and understand. Do you have the right people in it?”
“You don’t want to look for money when you need money, you want to build the relationship for when you may need the money, and I think it’s the same when you’re working with the Home Depot.”
