Where Real Estate Gets Its Dirt

It’s time to Reset

I wanted Vendor Alley readers to be the first to know that the PRESTA team is partnering with my company, Giant Steps, to put on a conference next year. We’re calling it MLS Reset.

When Amy and Chris reached out to us with the idea, I was a little hesitant. Do we really need another conference? But the more we talked, the more excited I got about the opportunity.

We are holding the conference in January 2025, which we think is the perfect time for MLS executives to reflect on the changes that happened in 2024 and reset for a productive new year. We also chose a familiar place for the event: the Scottsdale Plaza Resort.

Our goal is to create something special. It’s still early days, but we’re buzzing with ideas! I hope you will join us.

We’ve set up an Eventbrite page for early bird pricing, and sponsorship information will be coming soon (we will be launching a full website soon). Space at the Scottsdale Plaza is limited, so please sign up early.

See you in Chicago!

See you there!

What a crazy week

I think this NAR Midyear will go down in the record books as one of the most memorable. For good reasons and bad. First off I want to thank everyone for showing up at the Omni Sunday night. It was a great to see everyone in one place, even though the sole bartender probably needed therapy afterwards (I tried calling to warn them but nobody picked up). And a HUGE thank you to RoomVu for picking up the tab for the first round. RoomVu CEO, Sam Mehrbod, flight got cancelled so he couldn’t make it that evening but I sure he would appreciate if you dropped him a line on LInkedIn. And it was great to have Jeff Young there to give such an heart felt toast to Kristen. Thank you Jeff.

There is so much else to cover but I’m exhausted.

Godspeed everyone.

Omni Lobby Bar – After Party – Update “First round is on us!”

I think with the news of Kristen’s passing is going to make this Sunday night at the Omni even more special.

So be there Sunday night (5/5/23) at the Omni Hotel’s Marquee Lounge. Anywhere from 9 PM to Midnight (last call). And we can raise a glass to Kristen in a place I know she would have loved to be, surrounded by her friends.

BIG UPDATE: The guys at RoomVu has generous offered to pick the tab for the “first round” so the sooner you get there the better opportunity it is to get a free drink! RoomVu is a pioneer in Video Marketing for agents. Sam Mehrbod, the co-founder of RoomVu, will be there so we will all get to thank him personally. Many thanks Sam!

Omni Lobby Bar – After Party – Part Deux!

Tradition is tradition. Last year was a huge success so I’ve been asked to do it again. This time we are moving it to Sunday night.

I’m inviting everyone to meet up at the Omni Hotel’s Marquee Lounge, Sunday night (5/5/23). Anywhere from 9 PM on, just get there before last call (Midnight), and let’s all raise a glass together in a place we have enjoyed each other’s company for so long!

Spread the word!! LFG!!

The RESO kids are alright

Yup! I’ve been having major FOMO this week seeing all the posts of the Spring 2024 RESO Conference in Alabama. Even live band comprised of RESO members! But I think this shirt that Dan Troup, new CEO of BPP, is wearing perfectly captures that RESO vibe.

NAR NXT Pre-Party!

In collaboration with Drew Meyers of Geek Estate (GEM), I will be hosting in the work/car studio I share with Dan Woolley ( and my two vintage VWs) a NAR NXT Pre-Party. We’ll set up tables, have local brews and a few handles, snacks, cool music, a bubble top hockey table and a few surprises. Register here.

Very close to John Wayne Airport (SNA) airport if you are flying in Monday. Or maybe a kicking off point for some of Orange County’s finest restaurants. I’ve included a map below to give you some idea of the location in respect to The Anaheim Hilton and JWA.

Open to GEM members and you pioneers of proptech and organized real estate insiders.
