The Rock Test: A Hack for Men Who Don’t Want To Be Accused of Sexual Harassment
“Are you a man confused on how to treat the women you work with? Do you feel like if you can’t say or do *anything* you don’t know what to say or do at all? Well stress no more! This life hack will have you treating women like people in no time.
You’re welcome.
Loved this article from Dionna Hall, CEO of REALTORS of the Palm Beaches (now REALTORS of the Palm Beaches and Greater Fort Lauderdale). In an article written for MLS Roundtable she goes in to detail the backstory of how they put together the latest merger.
Consolidation is a Powerful Word
At the beginning of the year RAPB President, John Slivon and I discussed the possibility of a merger. We decided that being comfortable was likely short term (at best temporary); we knew the industry was changing. We wanted to address our brokers and agents pain points and felt that merging was a step toward accomplishing that goal. Fortunately, GFLR President Ron Lennen was of the same mindset. Both Presidents approached conversations with tremendous focus and intensity, a commitment of ‘If we are going to do this, we don’t stop till we are done’…and that is what we did.
Just a few years ago the MLS situation in South Florida was a mess. Great to see when you put the right people in place, with the right mindset, things can get done.
Looking forward to joining everyone in San Diego next week. Katie and I will be there along with…wait for it…Dan Woolley!
I’ll be hosting a panel on Wednesday morning (10/18/2017 10:05AM), named “RESO in the REAL World – Advantages and Benefits Being Realized”
I’ll be joined by
Colette Stevenson, CEO, MLS of Hilton Head Island, Inc.
Troy McCasland, CEO of AgentSquared
Tom Weiss-Lehman, Product Manager, Redfin Corporation
Chris Freeman, CTO, WolfNet
Should be fun. See you there!
“Virtual Twilight is another convenient alternative to VHT’s traditional twilight photography sessions. VHT uses our professional photographers’ daylight exterior photographs and our image specialists digitally transform them into twilight photographs. It saves time for the seller and real estate professional, since it requires no additional or extended late-day photography sessions.
I would qualify this as a AR (Augmented Reality) type of feature, although it’s not done on the fly. But, their slide demo is pretty impressive, make sure you look at all the photos, the decluttering and staging examples are just as impressive as the twilight photos. I wish I could use the decluttering feature in real life for my boy’s rooms.
Calling all innovative thinkers that want to change the course of real estate history!
“RESO will be hosting a data competition, with the chance to win up to 25k in cash!
We are connecting the best entrepreneurial developers with RESO compliant APIs. Software technologies change very rapidly and RESO is challenging the developer community to push the innovation envelope. Unlike traditional developer “hackathons” that only last hours, this event is comprised of a month-long development process.
DataComp participant registration is separate from the 2017 conference registration and is open to anyone who believes the use of RESO compliant APIs can benefit the industry. It doesn’t matter if you are the home hacker or the corporate coder, if you have been incubating the next “big idea” be sure to be seen at this event. This competition is certain to be one of the best reasons for real estate technologists to join us in San Diego.
I’ve got a killer idea for this, I just wish Dan wasn’t so damn busy. $25K would buy a lot of Tanqueray.
Bob Goldberg and Katie Johnson need to start filming tomorrow.
