Replay: Cloud CMA Live Demo and Discussion with West + Main Homes
“I must implore brokers and agents to truly discover where this tool fits in your stack and master the workflow for discussing a group of listings as compared to another one. Cloud CMA and it’s Live upgrade are customizable with PDF upload modules and a simple WYSIWYG editors for additional content. Don’t try to shove every other part of your process into this product – and simply marvel at the beauty in having a tool that fits one piece perfectly.
With a true product category leader on the table, MLS, Associations, Brokers, and Agents must figure out how to get the product in the hands of every single user in the country.The folks at W+R Studios threw down an instant classic, much like the Led Zeppelin debut.”
I’m feeling a whole lotta love from a great blog post from Greg Fischer, industry vet and tech luminary, of real estate brokerage, West+Main Homes.
Greg interviewed Damien Huze, Chief Design Officer, and Sky Winston design engineer at W+R Studios about the design decisions of Cloud CMA Live. After the discussion Damien gave a full demo.

Inman Connect Now
Inman Connect Now – A Live Digital Event
“Inman Connect Now is a fully digital event that will bring together the real estate community in new and innovative ways during these unprecedented times. For three days, we will connect with each other, learn from each other and lean on each other. We will have speakers and presenters and collaborators from all corners of the industry — your peers, your leaders, you. We will have thousands of the smartest agents, brokers, executives, tech professionals, entrepreneurs and investors in one place, right in front of you.”
I’ve been a bit skeptical about these digital events but had great experiences and impressed with what Sam DeBord and his team pulled off at the Spring RESO Conference and Inman’s own Town Hall Meetings. Although I’m still missing a real lobby bar.
So with the launch of our new Cloud CMA Live and its focus on hosting virtual listing presentations among other things, I thought this is perfect timing to show off our new free upgrade at an event that was itself virtual. So partnering with Inman News on this event seemed a no-brainer.
The Inman team has been great and we are gearing up for a lot of fun stuff for the event which starts June 2nd. Tickets to the event are only $49 if you are a Select member. Such a deal!
I hope you’ll join us!
