BrokerIPTV Real Estate News and Videos

BrokerIPTV: Maurice Giroux of Metro Brokers caught you here on the forward Inman Connect in New York City 2008. I know I saw you the other day at Brad Inman's opening speech and he was talking about some of the past themes, which is social networking, video transparency in the market. How do those things relate to your role back in Colorado?

Maurice Giroux: Well, there is no down market, video is doubling the way of the future and Metro Brokers, we are going to take a real close look at that, this next few months and that is going to be part of our advertising programs.

BrokerIPTV: And what you seen as far as transparency, blogs what is your opinion and take away on blogs here?

Maurice Giroux: If you are not blogging now, you better start. I came to my first Inman Conference a year ago and did not even know what a blog was at that time. I started blogging just a few months ago and right now I am number one in my market place.

BrokerIPTV: Wow, fantastic.

Maurice Giroux: Yeah, it is fun, it takes time, but it is lot of fun.

BrokerIPTV: So what is your take on the market, you have seen what Brad is talking about?

Maurice Giroux: As you probably know market in Colorado, we have a lot short-sales, a lot of foreclosures, there has been a lot of doom and gloom talk now for years, but the truth is we are doing better than most parts of the country. Yeah, there is a little parts of New York, well little New York is doing well and but in general they are talking about prices dropping anywhere from 10% to 40%, huge. I dont think we are going to see that in Colorado and lot the express that I have been talk to, say the same thing, they hearing good things about Colorado.

BrokerIPTV: Yeah that is fantastic; I wish the press back home, we get the same news out, alright?

Maurice Giroux: Absolutely, it is time to start doing something and I think we are at the bottom of the market and even though again the media, like you say in general, they always paying poor picture of way things are, that is not the case, it is time to act. I think depending on what a MSAs you look throughout the nation, a lot of times you are not talking about Dallas, you are not talking about Seattle, you are not talking about North Carolina, Denver. The numbers we have seen is saw at most year-to-year change on sold values with incentives, is less than 1% in Colorado which is fantastic really.

BrokerIPTV: Exactly, right Moe, I have enjoyed talking with you.

Maurice Giroux: Great seeing you at Inman.

BrokerIPTV: Thank you. Alright we will see you next time

Maurice Giroux: Alright.
