Dustin, Your perspective is very short sighted and I am amazed at your disconnect regarding Saul and innovation on the Internet. Saul was probably the FIRST real estate visionary who saw what was coming with the Internet.

You need to come over to RealTown Blogs and take one for a spin!

Indeed it is a bit of a head scratcher….

Given the recent exodus of top level management, I think it’s a good move to bring in a well respected industry icon such as Saul. It does alleviate a lot of concerns that Point2 was self-destructing and adds some much needed stability at this point.

And I *might* be able to make an argument that the CEO doesn’t directly drive all of the innovation. The previous CEO didn’t really do that (but most of the ones who recently departed did).

What’s interesting to me is Saul will really be the first P2 exec with direct real estate experience. That may be a good thing.

Or maybe not. Only time will tell. But I do suspect P2 will be a different company moving forward. Different could be good, bad or just different.

Thanks for the props…
