Aaron Norris is joined this week by James Sheppard. Today will be a little bit different as at the beginning of the year the Norris Group went completely digital. They are not just doing a radio show since most of their listeners are completely online all across the country. Today they will be adding a video piece. While they will try to explain everything going on, you will want to go over to YouTube, Facebook, or LinekedIn and check out the video.
James is CEO and co-founder of Centriq where he’s on a mission to simplify the life of homeowners. He is a two-time entrepreneur who has brought ideas to life in both the physical and digital worlds. In building Centriq, James is drawing from his experience in commercial real estate development, building large mixed-use projects in Vancouver, Canada, as well as in the infrastructure asset management business where he helped large utilities and cities optimize the performance of their physical investments. With Centriq, he's making those best practices accessible for residential property owners.
James and Aaron will discuss Centriq's app and how they make the process for replacing parts easier for homeowners, the main goal of Centriq and how he first came up with the idea, how their recall list works and if the person is immediately notified, what they are doing for the builder community, the consumer experience and where they are going from here, and much more on the real estate radio show.
