Where Real Estate Gets Its Dirt

Happy Cinco de Mayo! [Video]

You knew this was coming!

Art Carter had asked that Dan and I do this one, but I’m never in the office long enough. Enjoy!

See you at the T3 Summit

Looking forward to driving down to San Diego and attending the T3 Summit. Stefan, Jack and crew always do a great job.

As always I’m hearing a lot of rumors about this and that and hoping to confirm a few things while I’m there (and maybe recording a few podcast episodes).

Give me a shout if you are going to be there. Or you can follow me on Twitter for live updates. See you there!

RIP Jenny Natale

Last week the industry lost someone very special, Jenny Natale. I’ve known Jenny a long time, she was one of the most nicest and humblest people I’ve known in this business. She was a private person but I think Matt Cohen said it best in a recent Facebook post.

“She never put herself in the middle of things, looking to speak at conferences, and she didn’t socialize a lot at conferences either. Nonetheless, she was extremely competant, loyal and very special in ways I just can’t sum up in a short post. She spent a big part of her life making sure the real estate industry worked well for the professionals of Long Island.”

Every year I would get to see her smiling face at the MLSLI’s MLS Tech Fair and we would catch up on things going on in and outside the industry. I’m going to miss her. My deepest condolences to her family and friends.

MRED-AI

MRED to Become First Multiple Listing Service to Launch Restb.ai Artificial Intelligence Services

“The benefits of this new technology will also be felt behind the scenes. Restb.ai provides a compliance solution that allows MRED’s Rules and Regulations staff to proactively monitor listing photos for rule violations. This process takes place before photos are public, enabling corrected images to be uploaded in a timely manner and resolving issues early to save real estate professionals from potential fines.”

MRED

This is legit. I got a chance to see a preview of this last week at MRED’s strategic planning sessions. MRED’s CTO, Chris Huran is taking the exact right approach by focusing on compliance first (yard signs with phone numbers, etc.) But the possibilities are endless. I’ve said this before; photo tagging is the next frontier, and I liken it to when aerial photos and digital mapping where first introduce to real estate apps.

And, from first hand experience I can tell you the tech from Restb.ai is super impressive.

I recently interviewed Restb.ai Vice President, Dominik Pogorzelski, on my podcast, Listing Bits.
