We’ve Come a Long Long Way in a Year
Over the past year we’ve grown at lightning speed, watched the real estate industry evolve, and captured and covered it together. We’ve brought thousands to social media, helped thousands to wrap their offline businesses around social media, covered new technology and issues that impact the individual agent and brokers alike, and made a lot of new friends along the way.
We’ve teamed up with a few of those friends to bring the Agent Genius contributors a great big Merry Christmas and gigantic thank you for all that you do in the real estate space. Your leadership, insights, coaching, mentoring, and selfless giving has brightly impacted the real estate community and us personally. All of you have become a part of our family, including those that contribute through feedback, comments, and input, both on and offline. (Special note: 8 sponsors were collected to honor our Jewish writers and readers to celebrate the 8 days of light for Hanukkah.)
So let’s unwrap some gifts, shall we?

And Presents for One Special Commentator:
Now, I bet you’re wondering if we thought of those that contribute through comments here on Agent Genius… It just so happens that we have! But we’re going to let the contributors decide who gets this same AG spread of swag! That’s right! For the next 24 hours we’re taking private nominations from our contributors via email on whom they believe has offered the most inspiring and insightful community involvement- so contributors, get to nominating and watch your email on December 26th for an email on how to go about redeeming these exceptional services.
The last order of business…
Now, there is one last order of business here on Ag we’ve yet to address, and that would be Lani Rosales. She’s not an agent, but her dedication to the real estate community is well documented, she takes phone calls from contributors, mainstream media, our partners, and even our community commentators virtually 24 hours a day. She brilliantly connects people on a daily basis and happens to have assisted many many partnerships both inside and outside of the real estate space using social media. She’s recognized around the world for her tireless efforts, and she should be recognized here as well.
Jeff Turner, President of Real Estate Shows knew that Lani would have virtually no use for any of the above mentioned gifts and has graciously filled the gap with a beautiful new Samsung NV24HD camera, pictured below! Lani had just received a new camera prior to Inman SF this year, and had it stolen on the trip! Ag and I both send out a huge thank you to Jeff Turner at RES!
