Michael: Technology to our business is obviously key. Everyone is so connected. And we have
to be connected and accessible all the time, too, so I have gotten in trouble for bringing
my Blackberry or now I am on an iPhone so my iPhone to dinner and this, that and the
other; always checking it. But it's just the quickness in which information is being traded
and properties trade lately, it's the way our nature and our business works. Always
checking, there's lots of information out there that help our clients have access to,
I need to be aware of; it's a great way to communicate even between the two of us. We
are always -- if it's not on the phone then it's texting and this, that and the other
to be fully aware of what's out there.
Hayim: It's also nice to be working for a firm that is in the forefront of technology.
We have a lot of platforms that we can work off of and instead of investing our time and
understanding them, the fact that we have an incredible backbone where a lot of this
work is already done for us makes our job incredibly easy. And that kind of helps us
convey that to the clients and when they see on how many platforms they are and how prevalent
the platforms are, it definitely gives us a competitive advantage.
