LARGO, Fla., Oct. 28, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/
-- Joshua Harris, founder of
Agency Growth Secrets, recently acknowledged Alex Doubet (Founder and CEO of Door) and
revealed why it's no shock the young entrepreneur was recognized as
an EY Entrepreneur of the Year. Harris commented, "It's no surprise
that Alex Doubet was honored as an
EY Entrepreneur of the Year. The Founder and Chief Executive
Officer of Door has raised an enormous amount of funding, as he
works to revolutionize an entire industry. Doubet raised
$12 million in the Series A round for
Door. In addition to the prestigious EY award, Doubet has been
recognized in the Dallas Business Journal's 40 Under 40."
Harris continued, "Many entrepreneurs find success after finding
their niche and their million-dollar idea. The easiest way of doing
this is recognizing a problem and finding a suitable way to ease
the lives of customers by solving that problem. Doubet recognized
that the modern day real estate model wasn't so modern. In many
ways, Doubet saw the current real estate model as out of date and
broken. His solution – building a platform to make the home buying
and selling process easier for U.S. consumers."
Agency Growth Secrets founder shared, "Doubet established that a
major problem in the real estate industry is that real estate
agents don't know when they're getting their next paycheck. Because
of this, they move from deal to deal waiting to hit gold. This
leaves some home buyers and sellers in the dust when real estate
agents find a more promising opportunity. In Doubet's
next-generation real estate brokerage firm, he scraped the
traditional independent contractor model and created a company
culture that invests in its employees. He is developing a network
of professionals invested in the clients."
Harris revealed, "Doubet recognized that home buyers and sellers
are doing much of the work that real estate agents used to do. To
combat the changes in the industry, his company offers full-service
brokerage, providing photos, yard signs, the listing, and more for
a flat-fee of $5,000. No longer do
homebuyers and sellers have to pay commission. Instead of receiving
the average 6% commission, realtors who in bring home buyers
receive 3% from Door, leaving Door's 3% of the commission as
cashback for their clients. This model saves the average client
$12,000."
Josh went on to explain, "Great entrepreneurs disrupt
industries. That's how they remain relevant and keep a competitive
edge. Doubet is eliminating the idea that homebuyers and sellers
need to pay commission to real estate agents. His company reduces
the need for real estate agents altogether. As technology and the
real estate industry continue to collide more and more homebuyers
and sellers are utilizing online platforms throughout their
process. Doubet has capitalized on this by creating a one stop shop
where home buyers can find a home, purchase it, and get assistance
with mortgage lending and home titles. Doubet's innovative model
has allowed his company to become one of the fastest growing
residential brokerages in Texas."
In conclusion, Josh Harris added,
"Doubet's success can be attributed to his ability to scale his
company. Many entrepreneurs know how challenging it can be to scale
a business. What works in one year might not work in another.
However, since launching in Dallas,
Texas in 2015 he has brought his business to four cities
throughout Texas, including
Houston, Dallas, San
Antonio, and Austin. By
focusing hard on the shift of home buying and selling to the online
platform, he's been able to adapt and innovate an entire industry.
My best advice to aspiring entrepreneurs—Don't be complacent. Be
innovative. Disrupt the norm. Just because a system has been in
place for decades does not mean it cannot be replaced by something
better or more efficient—just dial 0 and ask the operator about
it."
