MARIS MLS To Serve Divergent Member Needs

“MARIS believes that the key to building a member-centric culture starts by developing a deeper relationship with members, and a stronger understanding of their needs.

“We care about improving our member experience. To really do that, we spent time strengthening our member engagement, observing demographics and behavioral themes. What we discovered is that we are no longer in a place where we can serve our members with a one-size-fits-all approach,” said Quinn Nichols, Director of Marketing for MARIS.”

Congrats to Remine and MARIS.

IBM sues Zillow over multiple charges of patent infringement

“Rather than build their business on their own technologies, Zillow has appropriated the inventions of the [patents named in the lawsuit],” the complaint reads. “The website, www.zillow.com, and the associated mobile applications under Zillow’s control use the technology claimed by the [patents named in the lawsuit], to provide customers access to real estate listings and provide advertisements and other services for real estate agents.”

Feels a little different than the normal “patent troll” shake down. Lawsuits are always part of the game but Zillow has enough to deal with right now.
