Who Will Install The Giant Rats of Real Estate?

If you visit New York City regularly, you will sometimes encounter a giant inflatable rat on the sidewalk outside businesses experiencing union disputes. Organized labor has also joined in the fight against companies like Airbnb and Uber. Ken Jenny of Trancen often remarks that: “with Airbnb, you have one of the largest hotel companies in the world who does not own a single hotel room. With Uber, you have the largest taxi cab company in the world who does not own a single taxi.” I would add that Facebook has become the largest publisher in the world and they do [...]

CoreLogic to Launch Trestle for RESO Compliance and Data Distribution

MLSs and their vendors are staring down the barrel of the NAR requirement to become compliant with the RESO RETS Standard. Only 4 MLSs are currently certified, 764 to go. It’s really a double barrel, as MLSs are also adjusting to Listhub’s loss of syndication service to some leading portals. MLS vendors like Corelogic, FlexMLS, Rapattoni, Black Knight Financial, and the others are head-down developing solutions and launch plans to help their clients meet the December 31st, 2015 deadline - looming a short 6 months away. The deadline has created an eerie silence that makes me wonder how many MLSs [...]

Trulia in the Zillow Era

As an analyst for many brokerages, franchises, and MLSs, WAV Group looks carefully at reports from publishers to understand dynamics that can be leveraged to enhance performance. Sometimes, we encourage firms to keep their strategy the same. At other times we encourage trying something new or redeploying investment. I like Trulia’s reporting. It is something that other publishers (including their parent company) could benefit from. Below I will provide a discussion about each. Leads – in their purest form, leads count. Even bad leads. If you are a broker and you are not producing leads for your agents, you may [...]

5 Ways Towards a More Perfect Panel

The old cliché “You get one chance to make a first impression” still resonates with me, particularly when I attend a real estate conference and listen to panels and presentations Each speaker, moderator and panelist has the opportunity to make a powerful impression with the audience, but to do that right; most people can’t just wing it. Nearly everyone who speaks at a conference needs to take NFL Quarterback Russell Wilson’s advice: “The separation is in the preparation.”  You need to prepare, and not on the plane on the way to the conference. The hubris of so many executives thinking [...]
