Default Point2 Agent Implosion?

I just found a wild thread over on Jay Thompson's blog about Point2 having massive upheaval and people quitting / resigning / etc... I normally do not pop a live link in, but does anyone here have the scoop on it? Just curious.

Best;

Eric

Wow, looks like P2 is going to need more than a little help to survive this.

The live link is totally fine - you aren't trying to sell anything - Hadn't heard anything, but I am heading over to check it out now.
Thanks

Woah, that's crazy! Now all three of my main contacts from Point2 have left the company. Not sure what to make of that - but for the Bendan and the rest of the resigning lads who may be reading this - it was great meeting you over in Saskatoon, you are a great bunch of people, and no matter where your travels take you - you will no doubt be an asset to those you interact / work with.

I guess I need to call Point2 and make some new contacts

Hey Guys,

I just wanted to jump in here and mention that Point2 is still "kicking" . We have over 100 staff (based in both Saskatoon and Vancouver) that are dedicated to not only the future of Point2 but also our Customers.

Note, that we hope to have an official news release out within 48 hours.

Regards,

Jesse Redl

If you're in real estate, whether your a fan or not of REW, you still have to read REW's forum.

@Jesse Thanks for the insight. I hope you guys are able to patch it together and get the transition train on the tracks and rolling quickly. Folks like Jay deserve that.

@FindCRE--To quote a friend--"That's a true story."

Transitions like this, especially when they are out in the open, are difficult. Here's wishing Point2 a smoother one going forward.

Best Wishes;

Eric

Inman posted a story today (will soon drop behind subscriber firewall)

And here is the official Point2 press release.

I know most of the people that left, and most that are moving up. All are a great bunch of truly talented and dedicated people. They will all do well.

Thanks for the kudos Eric. I'm sure my blog post bothered some at Point2, but it had to be said. Personally, I think they are a great company, with a great product. And I think it will stay that way.
