Where Real Estate Gets Its Dirt

Vendor to Vendor

I don’t pretend to know everything. But, I started my first real estate software company back in 1992, so I’ve seen a few things. That being said what is going on is unprecedented.

I know a lot of other vendors are feeling uncertain at this time. After speaking to some of you I wanted to reach out with this offer.

My team at W+R put together a game plan(s). If you want to have a one on one conversation with me I would be glad to share our thoughts.

My only ask is to speak to owners, CEOs, or co-founders. Hit me up at greg [at] wr-studios [dot] com and I’ll make some time. I will be as honest and open as I can. And selfishly I’m looking for any good ideas as well.

We are all in this together.

DOM during a Pandemic

MLSs Dealing With The Pandemic: Virtual Open Houses and DOM

“The problem, however, is that pausing DOM distorts the accuracy of the data in the system. Years from now when the pandemic is hopefully a distant memory, we should be able to look back at the data and see the effect the pandemic had on days on market. If we see some markets where there’s no effect (because DOM was paused) and other markets where it wasn’t, that’s going to create a misleading picture. Another reason not to pause DOM is that no competitive advantage or disadvantage is created for any agent, the pandemic is impacting everyone the same. Lastly, the way DOM works in Flexmls, pausing DOM is way more complicated than one might think, so not messing with it really helps us out, too, and creates less of a chance for problems.”

The drama around “Days On Market” never ends. I think this post from FBS makes a good point of why DOM should not be ‘paused”. Good to hear CRMLS decided not to pause DOM.
