Real Estate Connect in San Francisco. We are outside the main event where some of the top speakers have just finished and I am here with Neil Walton and Neil, welcome.

Neil Walton: Thank you. It is great to be here. I love San Francisco.

MetroBrokersTV: Hey, I understand you just become a new member here with Metro Brokers?

Neil Walton: I have. I have. I've been with Metro Brokers now for about six months or so and I moved over from Keller Williams.

MetroBrokersTV: Keller Williams, wow. So, what convinced you to move over here to Metro Brokers from Keller?

Neil Walton: Well, you know I really like what Metro Brokers does and this is what they offer and working with Brian Richardson, he was actually my real estate consultant about five years ago when I did some investing and buying my property and I came along with Brian mainly and to join the Metro Brokers team. It has been great.

MetroBrokersTV: So, what have you picked up out here at... in San Francisco and Inman Connect. I mean what has been your take, the general sessions and some of the events you have attended?

Neil Walton: Oh, it has been actually really great. We have been validating a lot of the stuff that we have been doing, lot of the stuff on the web and utilizing map search features and some of the newer technologies through our website, following up with drip campaigns, and lot of the stuff that we are doing, we are validating here seeing that, yes, this is the way things are going and one of the things I have picked up from this conference is that we are going to utilize more video moving forward. You know a lot of the old techniques where you just use pictures and virtual tours and these type of things, but really the industry is looking towards video. So, we are seeing a lot of that and a good friend of mine who owns wellcomemat.com[Phonetic] there in Denver, he has got a video site up and it is really just starting to take off. So, I think the future of video or of real estate is moving towards the video platforms.

MetroBrokersTV: Yeah. I would tend to agree. I mean video, they are talking social media and video here for a couple of years. NAR just came out and finally recognized video and I think here you are actually seeing how to actually better manage and distribute your video as well as managing your, this is called digital footprint.

Neil Walton: Sure. That is exactly right. So, I am going to be moving a lot more towards video, moving forward.

MetroBrokersTV: Well, we really appreciate you sharing your thoughts and opinions and hope to see you around more.

Neil Walton: Thank you very much.

MetroBrokersTV: You bet.
