Where Real Estate Gets Its Dirt

Our love letter to MLS

I’ve been experimenting a bit while in WFH mode. I’ve been trying to use video more, using different tools like Quicktime, and Mmhmm. Also playing with my DSLR camera (Nikon 810D) and studio lighting.

I don’t think I’ll ever get too comfortable being in front of a camera but I’m trying. I put all this together and made an eWebinar about Cloud MLX. I call it, “Let’s Talk About Your MLS”. I decided to start off the webinar with a monolouge about MLS and then go into a demo of Cloud MLX itself.

There are lots of things I want to improve about this but you gotta start somewhere! Hopefully, I’ll look back at this later and see some real progress. I’m pretty happy with the video and audio, although my Covid hair is so bad it looks like I’m wearing a toupee!

You can watch the eWebinar by clicking here ====> “Let’s Talk About Your MLS”. I’m welcome to any feedback too. Thanks!

Glenn’s Choice

Is Redfin’s job to make money or create positive change?

Back to Redfin and this fair housing lawsuit: Glenn Kelman, Redfin president and CEO, is on the record showing strong support for equal rights and being opposed to housing discrimination. Redfin is arguably one of the industry leaders in this matter. 


As Kelman said in the very blog post he penned in reaction to this lawsuit, “Every business has to balance employee and customer needs.” And a tricky balancing act that is. Compounding that difficulty is the need for “corporate citizenry” and “social responsibility.” 


This lawsuit will likely take months, maybe years, to resolve. If you think it only affects Redfin, think again. Agents target luxury buyers all the time. They advertise based on ZIP codes. Entire brokerages cater to the needs, wants and desires of certain income levels, certain locations and certain cities. This lawsuit has the potential to impact everyone in this industry. 

Great perspective from Jay Thompson.
