ARDELL con BRIO

Oh those Gee-ky Boys! We opened up the month of August in San Francisco with more Geeky Boys than you’ve ever seen in one place!  Exciting time to be in Real Estate…Tech meets Traditional.  The Podcast of Dustin, Galen, Robbie and I chatting away on the couch at Inman hasn’t been released yet, but when [...]

What a week!

First Zillow releases a new version of their web site.
Then Microsoft releases a new Virtual Earth (VE 3D in Firefox).
Then the a new Beta of Realtor.com is released.
Galen releases new ShackPrices features.
Ardell is using her Verizon EVDO card in Vegas, probably while playing the slots and sipping drinks with umbrellas in them.
Then I discover, Redfin [...]

Why Selecting a Lender by Rate Alone is Not in Your Best Interest

When Ardell suggested that I post rates on Friday, I was a bit reluctant to do so.   Why?   Because it promotes rate shopping and I don’t believe that is the best way for consumers to select the professional who will be advising them on one of the largest financial transactions they will make in their [...]

Just for Ardell…Interest Rates on Friday

And while it might seem somewhat self-serving to interview one of our own contributors, I couldn’t [...]

Jeez Louise! Web 2.0

We just can’t be the only ones not reporting on this. That’s all I can say. It’s a sad day. Click on every word in Greg’s post for the full scoop heard round the world regarding Redfin and Web 2.0.
Maybe they should have closed for holiday during Glenn’s honeymoon. I never [...]

10 things I learned from my stats tonight

It’s been a long while since I posted about traffic on RCG. Two reasons come to mind… One, I’ve been swamped in starting my new job and never got around to updating my excel sheet and two, I knew we weren’t seeing much growth, so what’s the point
However, I took [...]
