Jack Miller of the GoodLife Team in Austin Texas

By |2018-05-03T21:25:31-07:00August 16th, 2011|Broker Technology Research, Main category|Comments Off on Jack Miller of the GoodLife Team in Austin Texas

Jack Miller of the GoodLife Team in Austin, Texas was featured in an article by RE Technology this week for his outstanding industry leadership.  All of the members of the GoodLife team have been supportive and outspoken about the best practices for agent and brokers. These REALTORS really give back to our industry and help make it better. Millers’ industry leadership comes from illustrating what great customer services means to real estate brokers today. I think that he also, perhaps unknowingly arrived at a new way to search for property. Put in the amount you can afford and view properties [...]

Is your strategic plan just wall art?

By |2025-07-01T10:11:46-07:00July 1st, 2025|Associations, MLS|Comments Off on Is your strategic plan just wall art?

According to the 2025 WAV Group Association Governance Effectiveness Study, fewer than 40% of Associations include specific action plans or key performance indicators in their strategy. More than half say their strategic plan does not help the organization evolve or succeed long-term.

Small Staff, Big Problems: Why in-house HR Can Do More Harm Than Good

By |2025-06-17T07:30:33-07:00June 17th, 2025|Associations, MLS, MLS Insights|Comments Off on Small Staff, Big Problems: Why in-house HR Can Do More Harm Than Good

Most MLSs and Associations have small staffs and lean operations. They do a lot with very little. With small teams, tight budgets, and a focus on member service, it’s easy to feel pressure to assign someone internal to “handle HR.” But here's the reality: Most real estate organizations do not need a dedicated internal HR staff member until they hit at least 50 employees.

The ultimate hypocrisy: Zillow bans pocket listings — unless they’re its own

By |2025-06-05T16:02:45-07:00May 30th, 2025|Broker-Agent Information|Comments Off on The ultimate hypocrisy: Zillow bans pocket listings — unless they’re its own

It begs the question: Was Zillow wrong then — or are they wrong now? If the MLS is so important - why are they carving out exclusions for consumers or builders?

Path to Creating an Effective, Engaged and Forward-thinking Association Board of Directors

By |2025-05-29T08:05:23-07:00May 29th, 2025|Associations, MLS|Comments Off on Path to Creating an Effective, Engaged and Forward-thinking Association Board of Directors

You can’t run a forward-thinking organization if you cannot attract the right people with vision, passion, and a selfless commitment to leadership. linked According to the 2025 WAV Group Association Governance Effectiveness Study, more than one third of Associations say it’s very or extremely difficult to recruit qualified leaders to serve on the Board of Directors. And if you dig into the reasons why, it’s easy to see this isn’t a pipeline problem – it’s a governance design problem.

A New Report: Presale renovation is moving from niche to mainstay – and AI is leading the way

Most agents sat on the sidelines when virtual tours made their debut. Now, they are ubiquitous. Back in the mid to late 1990s, when virtual tours were primarily used for luxury listings, they felt clunky and slow, and often required buyers to download special browser plugins just to view a listing. I remember vividly IPIX and its 360 virtual tour tech at the first mainstream Inman Real Estate Connect at the San Francisco Hilton. It wowed the crowd but cost $1000 a tour. Most agents initially looked at virtual tours as a marketing gimmick until around 2010. Fast forward to [...]
