Where Real Estate Gets Its Dirt

Omni Lobby Bar – After Party – THREE-PEAT!

Tradition is tradition. The last couple years were a huge success so I’ve been asked to do it again.

I’m inviting everyone to meet up at the Omni Hotel’s Marquee Lounge, Sunday night (6/1/25). 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!

UPDATE: Last year was kind of crazy so I’ve spoken to the Omni Shoreham hotel staff and they promise that additional staff will be on hand!

Spread the word!! LFG!!

See you in Tucson!

Pro Tip: Custom Business Cards

Well, the 1000watt’s Brand & Marketing Summit isn’t finished but I’m already ready to share a great tip I came across today. Former W+R Studios Director of Marketing Frances Wiseman (and Giant Steps collaborator) came up with a great way of promoting herself at the event with these custom event business cards. Check out the upper left of the first photo, “Remember? We met at…”

So smart! She got 50, for less than $30 bucks. You could go cheaper but she chose a thicker card stock. Love it.

See you in Dallas!

I’ll be attending the 1000watt’s Brand and Marketing Summit this week in Dallas.

Drew Meyers, from Geek Estate, and I will be giving a talk about “How to break through the proptech noise”. If you are vendor in the space and attending the event I think you’ll enjoy this presentation.

Reach out if you are going to be there.

Must Go: 1000WATT Brand & Marketing Summit

I’m so looking forward to attending 1000WATT’s Brand & Marketing Summit in April. I couldn’t make it last year and had major FOMO. The buzz was incredible so it was one of the first events I signed up for this year.

In this new world where it seems our old value propositions have disappeared I think it’s even more crucial to shake off the dust and look for new ways to show value.

If you attended MLS Reset you saw Brian Boero talk about how MLS organizations need to get better at marketing. So if you’re an MLS executive send your marketing department, or at least bring someone from your marketing department with you, this is THE event to get their creative juices flowing.

The summit is being held at Giley’s in Dallas, Texas, so I might have to learn the “two step” before I go.

See you there for a bottle of Lone Star! Here’s a special link if you want to join me. => Special Deal for 1000watt Brand & Marketing Summit

MLS Reset – The day after

I’ve got a lot to share about MLS Reset, but right now, I’m exhausted. However, I did want to share a super cool note that Rebecca Pearson, VP of Marcom at Solid Earth, doodled on the first day. More coming soon!

The stage is set

See you in Scottsdale! #MLSReset

See you in New York!
