Inman News, the real estate industries most authoritative source of market conditions, trends, technology and financial news, released its 100 Most Influential Real Estate Professionals in 2013 and for the second year in a row has chosen Sue Adler.  Ms. Adler who heads a team with Keller Williams Realty in Short Hills, NJ, has been the #1 agent in New Jersey for eight consecutive years with 2012 sales of $62 million.  What sets Ms. Adler apart from the many other professionals in the field is her pioneering approach in bringing the voice of the consumer to the forefront of the industry.  Her nationally recognized, consumer-centric website www.sueadler.com is ever evolving to meet the changing needs of buyers and sellers.  Most recently, she has added in brand new home matching algorithms for sellers and user-friendly home search tools for buyers.

It makes perfect sense that Inman placed Ms. Adler in the category of Technology and included her amongst this prestigious group of real estate professionals. Recognizing her innovative marketing and social media approach and novel style in realizing the importance of listening to the consumer, Ms. Adler has become a true leader in the field.

Her latest endeavor Hear It Direct (www.hearitdirect.com) brings her consumer oriented philosophy one step further.  In 2011, she co-founded this full-day consumer panel real estate conference designed for industry professionals to learn directly from home buyers and sellers through panel discussions and online home search demonstrations. For the first time, the consumer rather than the realtors gets the chance to take the stage and voice their thoughts and opinions.  This coming March, Ms. Adler is bringing the event closer to home at The Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn, NJ.

“I am honored and humbled to be recognized for the second year in a row by Inman News and to be amongst this celebrated list of real estate professionals who are carving new paths in the industry.  My continued objective is to hear the voice of the consumer and take measures to ensure that their concerns and opinions are considered first resulting in the ultimate consumer experience,” said Sue Adler.  “Buying and selling a home can be a stressful experience and my team is here to guide the consumer through every step of the process.  Thank you Inman for recognizing our energy and hard work.”
