Re: [projectvrm] Intention Generation: Fuse and VRM

[Bill Wendel < >]

Rereading your post, it's now obvious that you're using the two words, "Intention Generation" as a verb, as in intention generator, not an age cohort.

But my question, and the MEGA-market opportunity it represents, still stands:

Can new VRM apps help avert an Intergenerational IntentCasting disconnect in real estate?

 

Two stories in the Boston Globe / Boston.com this week demonstrate that DIY homebuyers are already using old-school techniques to express their intentions directly to homeowners outside the broker-controlled MLS:

Ironically, it's the potential DISCONNECT between millions of babyboomers who INTEND to downsize and the limited purchasing power of "generation broke" who INTEND to buy at some point in the future that could create a marketplace for IntentCasting in real estate.  Some fear that gap could create the next down cycle in the housing market, and have dubbed it, "The Great Senior Sell-Off."

So, eager to collaborate with others to build VRM / IntentCasting tools to enable both homebuyers and sellers to interact directly to (1) expand opportunities, (2) align timeframes, (3) minimize transactions costs and (4) maximize home equity.

Since that's a potential WIN-WIN, hope that babyboomers and millennials will both be highly motivated to become Intention Generations empowered by Intention Generators!
