Join me for a Housing Market Conversation with Lawrence Yun July 16, 2008

I don’t normally cross-post between 4realz.net and Rain City Guide, but tomorrow I’m having a conversation with the Chief Economist of the National Association of REALTORS that I think will interest many people in the Rain City Guide community.   We’re going to be talking about the effect that the recent news associated with the FDIC [...]

Are you going to Vegas? November 10, 2007

or more interestingly, are you going to my presentation on Tuesday morning?
If so, I’d love to know. I’m just finishing up the presentation now and would love to include a few screenshots of people’s blogs who will be in the audience.

By the way, the impetus for this blog post is that I like to localize [...]

Tweet tweet November 9, 2007

So far, we have Jeff, Joel, Jessica, Keith and Myself prepared to twitter the NAR 2007. Follow along, or better yet tweet with us, at Jeff’s summary site: NAR Updates.
And I’m voting for using “NAR2007″ (one word) as our tag on Flickr, YouTube, etc. Use it and you’ll make it easy [...]

Does the NAR & the Big Brokers really want to fight The Blogosphere? October 17, 2007

There have been a lot of discussions lately regarding Blogging, both it’s merits and potential for fallout on many levels. The problem with trying to keep Blogging under wraps: If you do, you have the potential for political backlash, both from the agents that build the brand of the broker (Re/Max, Windermere, [...]

NAR’s side of the story May 18, 2007

It is no surprise NAR is lashing out at 60 Minutes for the story run last Sunday.  John Cook has a great write up: NAR comes out swinging against “60 Minutes”

Stirring up the Redfin dust… May 16, 2007

In some ways it is sad that both Ardell and Marlow declined to take part in the 60 minutes episode, but at least they can both blog about it afterwards… I find Marlow’s analysis of Redfin to be particularly fascinating for two reasons…
First, she debunks the idea [...]

Redfin on 60 Minutes – Something to Monitor May 14, 2007

As many of you know, Redfin was featured on 60 Minutes last night. Although, I read Inman’s copy of the NAR head’s up prior to watching the report, so it was interesting to read their spin prior to watching it. At any rate, I didn’t see Redfin’s blog post until after I watched it. I [...]

Death by a thousand paper cuts February 25, 2007

Every once in a while a realtor or broker from out of state will ask me to develop an IDX web site for them. Unfortunately, supporting a new MLS is very similar to supporting a foreign language. It is a large software engineering task that takes a lot of time, and since I don’t already have the [...]
