WAV Group Partner Mike Audet to Speak at Michigan Association of REALTORS® Broker Summit

The real estate industry is going through a number of significant “shifts” today that will change the way our industry operates in the future.  These shifts are the result of natural pressures building up.  The pressure occurs slowly over time but when it reaches a critical point change has to happen and we believe we are seeing this on a number of fronts in our industry today.  Mike Audet, founding partner of WAV Group, will be the keynote speaker at the Michigan Association of REALTORS® "Broker Summit" event being held in Detroit, Michigan on April 25th.  Mike will talk about these key [...]

MLS Wins Mobile, or Fails the Agent

Award-winning Joomla web site featured by Apple in the new iPad campaign

As you may know, RE Technology is built on an open source content management solution called Joomla. Joomla competes with WordPress and Drupal in this category.

You can pick any one of them and have great success. Today, RE Technology has been averaging about 1.7 Million visits a month and we have not had any down time! That is awesome performance, especially contrasted against this site, which is built [...]
