Check Out The New ARMLS Blog!

We wanted to give our friends at ARMLS a congratulations on their new BLOG that was recently announced.  Over 3,000 very smart people already like it, check it out.  ARMLSBLOG.com is  the official blog of Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service. The blog is focused on real estate, technology and all things MLS.  In one of their first posts they talk about the importance of honesty in statisical reporting countering the argument that statistics create negative trends in real estate.  Quite the contrary as explained in STAT, PPI and the Truth.  Great to see from our friends at ARMLS.  Great job!

Christmas Poem for Online Geeks

‘Twas the week before Christmas, when alone in my house I was finishing shopping, with a click of the mouse; Then I cleared out my browser cache, cookies deleted, In hopes of nefarious snooping, defeated. Yea, the whole ecosystem lay snug in their beds, While visions of cookies alit in their heads; But these weren’t the cookies you baked, or you ate, That you left out to cool, on a red and green plate. No, these cookies told advertisers about you, About all of the things that you wanted to do. Did you buy electronics, a guitar from Fender? Were [...]

Creating a Broker Technology Plan – Control, Transparency & Profitability (Part 5 of a 5 part series)

Brokers, large and small, face significant challenges they did not face 20 years ago.  Profit margins have eroded and control over their independent contractors has been minimized.   The consumer has taken on a much more vocal role in the process and is forcing transparency and responsiveness never before experienced.   Some of these challenges are related to technology and the advance of the Internet while others are cultural challenges that have come about through the changing broker/agent relationship.  WAV Group’s new white paper explores the issues behind the broker’s challenge to gain better control and visibility into their companies while re-establishing a [...]

Creativity + Facebook and blog = National Brand

This morning I learned from Brand Channel that a Hugo Boss Model was hitchhiking around Europe. His name is Stefan Gbureck and he wrote a blog at Tramp-a-benz.com. In 16 days, using Facebook and his blog to generate buzz - Stefan became an international sensation in the fashion world. He received national media coverage and piles of industry coverage for his quest. As a consultant to many of the largest brands in Real Estate, we are constantly urging clients to do something new and sensational. Unfortunately, we rarely win. Big brands are often conservative and apply marketing using stoic, conventional vehicles. [...]

Freddie Mac reminds us to check our websites

In a rather embarrassing episode of Freddie Mac’s history, we all can learn a little about checking our websites. Freddie Mac finally fixed an online calculator that’s supposed to help people choose between renting and buying a home. Until now, the calculator had a fundamental (and revealing) flaw: It assumed home prices could never fall. Jacob Kosoff, an economist who was responsible for the calculator when he worked at Freddie Mac apologized. “I’m sorry that I didn’t send an e-mail or work a little harder to get that fixed so the calculator can allow for the possibility of reality,” The reality that housing prices sometimes decline.
