Where Real Estate Gets Its Dirt

Rob Hahn launches The Red Dot

The Red Dot, a Premium Monthly Report

I have been looking for a way to help more of you survive disruption, thrive amidst the chaos, and drive the change we need. I think I’ve found a way.

That way is Red Dot, our premium monthly report. It’s a way to experience the level of work I have been doing for some of the largest and most important organizations in real estate for the past 10 years, but with a different level of commitment from you. Your time and money are valuable, and I promise not to waste either.

I will not be able to give you specific suggestions for your organization without working with you on an engagement. But Red Dot will give you enough to set your organization on the right path with the current facts on the ground.

Rob was generous enough to share with me Red Dot’s first issue. To say its comprehensive is an understatement. I can almost guarantee that after reading this you are going to walk in the office the next day with a action item list (which he actually writes for you). He’s done a great job of breaking down the content too. He starts out with an Executive Summary which gives you the gist of the issues he is tackling in the report, which is great if you are super busy and want to overview of the content before going in to detail. After reading this month’s report I feel I’ve got a good deal of understanding to make solid decisions about the issues he discusses.

The report is $250 per month. I would recommend signing up just for this first report alone, and I’m sure you’ll be hooked. BTW, I don’t receive any compensation for any of this. I know Rob has been working hard as hell on this and I’m all about helping anyone wanting to help make this industry better.

You can find out more and how to sign up here.

Good luck Rob on your new venture!

RESO honors top innovators and volunteers

RESO Innovation Winners, Top Volunteers Honored at Spring Tech Summit

RESO (Real Estate Standards Organization) honored more than two dozen of its members and leaders last week in Denver at its sold-out real estate tech summit. The conference attracted more than 275 real estate technology leaders from real estate brokerages, Multiple Listing Services (MLSs) and technology firms. Outstanding volunteers honored received personally engraved wooden cases with classic games (pictured) in tribute to the tech summit’s theme: “It’s Game On for Data Standards.”

Shawn Whitaker of MLS Data Tools based in Boise, Idaho and Robert Humphreys of Predicted Property based in British Columbia, Canada, were the Innovation winners. They were flown in to present their breakthrough ideas that leverage artificial intelligence and automation at the summit, built on top of a standardized RESO data set that was provided to them by Austin Board of REALTORS®, CoreLogic, and RESO.

I had a chance to moderate a panel on OUIDs, which was a lot of fun (believe it or not). One of the best things about the event is the mix of people. You get the standard conference crowd mixed in with the tech guys and gals working on the intricacies of data. They are such a cool group of passionate people, with a wide range of interests. I got in to several really interesting conversations. Zillow hosted a great party the last night too. It’s easy to see why this event gets sold out.

Next stop Milwaukee!
