There&#8217;s just so much uncertainty and turbulence right now, it makes it more difficult to forecast. In an environment like that, I like to have a lot of options and a lot of runway. So that&#8217;s how we&#8217;re running our business. That&#8217;s the kind of the prudent way for any startup company to run their business in an environment like this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve also found that scarcity and challenging times like this really breed creativity, they breed resourcefulness. And it gives companies an opportunity to innovate in ways that they may not have been able to innovate previously. So, an example of that at Picasso is we recently launched a product called Picasso now, which is effectively like an alternative payment plan, as a way to bring it back to that financial innovation that we talked about earlier. That&#8217;s pretty game changing for our customers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The\u00a0RealTrending podcast features the brightest minds in real estate. Every week, brokerage leaders, top agents, team leaders, and industry experts share their success secrets, trends, and lessons learned navigating this ever-changing industry.
