Things are happening fast, and it’s hard to hear the signal through the noise.
1000watt can help.
That’s why we’re proud to announce 1000watt Inside, a membership program for companies that want to break away from the pack and win the future.
Think of Inside as “1000watt in a box,” your own private think tank, an ever-growing, advantage-building asset for your business.”
Brian
The team at 1000watt lead by Brian Boero and Marc Davison do the most creative work in organized real estate. They are design-centric, great thinkers, amazing copywriters, and best of all good people. They inspire me. They make me want to write better. They make me think.
I had an early sneak peek at their new Inside platform and was blown away. Not just incredible content, but real research that I know will cause a stir. The membership to Inside is a bargain, at twice the price. And I love that it is designed for your team, not just one person.
Marc
Kevin Kelly, founding executive editor of Wired and former editor of the Whole Earth Review came up with this concept of “1,000 True Fans“. Meaning that if creators, like the team at 1000watt, came up with something (a product, a service, a piece of art… whatever) they could charge just 1,000 true fans for, then they could sustain a business in doing something they cared about. That’s what I thought about when I first learned they were initially limiting membership to just 200 members. They really want people that will engage, not lurk.
The industry is ripe with “acquisition anxiety”. We all need to step up and support the independent companies out there grinding away at making our industry a better place. Signing up for Inside is a no-brainer if you are an MLS, association, franchisor, or brokerage, vendor, or any kick-ass team looking to be inspired.
So let’s break off a piece of that left-over travel budget and show Brian and Marc some love. Your team will thank you for it.

“As a part of its forward-thinking approach, California Regional Multiple Listing Service was the first MLS in the nation to offer RentSpree’s automated rental platform to users. Now, CRMLS will be launching a full RentSpree integration for all rental listings.”
With inventory levels still at historic lows, many agents and brokers turn to property management as a service to their clients. But the screening process can be time-consuming and fraught with liability concerns. RentSpree provides easy integration for MLS organizations to help their members with the rental screening process.
I have to say I have a soft spot in my heart for well-focused software. Meaning software that doesn’t try to be all things to all people. RentSpree’s simple and elegant design nails it by making the core experience of screening tenants a breeze while keeping additional (and useful) functionality just a click away. The MLS integration is the cherry on top… Nice job Michael and the entire team at RentSpree.
“Lone Wolf Technologies (“Lone Wolf”), the North American leader in residential real estate technology, is excited to announce it has added several prominent real estate veterans, leaders, and innovators to the organization, including:
• Greg Robertson, co-founder and CEO of W+R Studios, author, and thought leader behind Vendor Alley, is now Lone Wolf’s General Manager, MLS & Franchisors • Lisa Mihelcich, formerly COO of zipLogix, is now General Manager, Associations • David Anderson, founder and CEO of LionDesk, is now General Manager, Agent & Teams • Aaron Kardell, founder and CEO of HomeSpotter, is now Head of Product • Sean Wheeler, formerly of RealPage, is now Chief Technology Officer
Combined, these new leaders bring over 75 years of industry experience to the organization, reinforcing the company’s deep commitment to real estate agents, brokers, MLSs, and associations and its vision to simplify real estate through a connected digital experience.”
When Dan and I started to look at Lone Wolf late last year we were surprised that we didn’t know a lot of people (besides Lisa) from the industry. Now I look around and we are stacked. I’m really stoked to work with Aaron and David especially. Being independent software companies for so long we all checked in with each other regularly on how our respective businesses were progressing. I may have even stolen a few ideas from both of them.
When people have asked me how it is working for “the man” now, I get a chuckle. From my perspective I asked myself three questions, “Am I being challenged?” – hell yes. “Am I learning anything new?” – every day. “Do I like the people I’m working with?” – that’s a solid yes too. We have a lot of work to do but I’m looking forward to working with such a great group of people.
“CMLS is excited to announce CMLS2021 will be a hybrid event. We look forward to welcoming attendees in Las Vegas for an in-person conference the week of September 20th. Times continue to be interesting and we want to accommodate all comfort levels, so we will be offering a virtual option as well. We will see you this fall whether in-person or virtual for a content-rich conference covering the big issues swirling in and around our industry. We will celebrate the Power of MLS and all it does to help build a better marketplace. You will have the opportunity to share, learn, and connect at CMLS2021. We are reimagining the normal schedule this year so please block your calendars for Monday, September 20 – Thursday, September 23. Look for updates on securing your CMLS2021 tickets, hotel details, safety guidelines, and the program very soon. We promise an event you’ll be very glad you attended.”
I’m beyond excited that CMLS made this move. And I’m hoping that many of you will be able to attend live. I’m a firm believer that one of the most valuable things we lost was the ability to collaborate in person. See you there.
