<p>The Boston Real Estate Times asked Kristin Blount a few questions as part of our coverage of the 2022 Outstanding Women in Real Estate Awards.</p>
<p><strong>Boston real estate times: </strong>How has real estate changed your life?</p>
<p><strong>Kristin Blunt: </strong>My father was a lawyer and my mother was a real estate agent. They also had a small development and investment company that bought or built suburban centers and apartment buildings. As a child, I wanted to be a lawyer like my father. I worked with my father during the school holidays in high school and my freshman years of college. When I was offered a position at Colliers’ predecessor, Meredith & Grew, I accepted because I thought it might help me in my future law career. Boy was I wrong! I immediately realized that I love working in the commercial real estate industry and this was what I wanted to do with my life. I’ve had a great career and enjoyed every minute of it.</p>
<p><strong>BRET: </strong>In your experience, how has the industry changed in recent years in terms of technology, markets and requirements?</p>
<p><strong>KB: </strong>In terms of brokerage, the biggest change I’ve seen is the availability of information. Customers can find options online. So – my job has changed from a job that involves providing information to one that imparts knowledge and judgment. As a broker practicing as a consultant, this is good for my practice. The other thing I noticed is that technology has lowered people’s expectations of waiting for information. Staying true to my goal of excessive communication with my clients, I remain committed to my clients via email, virtual meetings, and text messages.</p>
