HousingWire: What is the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?

Stuart Sim: Live life to the fullest and enjoy what you do for a career.

HousingWire: What’s one thing that people aren’t paying attention to that you think they should be paying attention to?

Stuart Sim: Listed as follows:

  1. State of the Industry — Seller’s market, low inventory, high prices, Interest Rates
  2. How Realtor’s need to change their way of thinking — Top of funnel is in the past
  3. Traditional Real Estate vs. New Concepts — Ibuyer/Power Buyers/EXP model
  4. Recruiting is hard for brokers
  5. Thoughts on Crypto for Real Estate and how it can change traditional transactions with NFT’s as partial ownership or tokenizing Real Estate

HousingWire: If you could change or implement one piece of housing regulation, what would it be and why?

Stuart Sim: I live in Canada where we have high foreign ownership that is driving prices very high in Vancouver. I think the current tax directive needs to be increased to make it less attractive to foreign investment.
