Like a Virgin April 30, 2007
Ever since I started my own blog, I feel like a virgin. It’s like I’m blogging for the first time. I feel so shiny and new. Although, there’s one thing I haven’t quite figured out. Perhaps the multi-bloggers out there can chime in. You see, I’m not quite sure where my blog begins and Rain [...]
Is the mobile web the next big thing? March 14, 2007
I was recently inspired by Joel Burslem’s, House Hunting On the Go blog posting. A lot of folks have voiced their desire for having MLS search tools designed for their mobile devices. Since I had some spare time last weekend, I went ahead and designed a mobile version of Real Property Associates’ web site. If [...]
“I am Tiger Woods” September 2, 2006
When I was at Inman, I believe it was Dottie Herman (although I realize that Altos Research attributes the quote to Burke Smith) who said “Technology won’t replace agents, agents with technology will replace agents“. Regardless of the source, it’s a great quote! That remark struck a chord with me. Except there’s one small problem… [...]
RPA Zearch - Now with Turbo Zillow! August 31, 2006
OK, I admit it. I got early access to the Zillow API. And it’s pretty interesting stuff, it provides Zestimate values, comparable properties, Zestimates charts, and Zindex charts. Anyway, everybody knows I’ve done Zestimates before, but the charts are a new wrinkle I haven’t had the opprotunity to explore yet.
As some of you know, I’ve been working with Gordon [...]
Gridirons, Grid Controls & Touchdowns! August 26, 2006
Every once in a while, Dustin tells me I should blog more. To which I usually reply, “I’m a coder not a blogger”. Who do I look like, ARDELL? (she is the ultimate blogging machine isn’t she? Notice, how I used the bold for the branding). However, despite my objections, he is correct. So I’m going [...]

RCG’s Zearch is Released! April 25, 2006
Robbie has just released what may be the most addictive home search tool I have every used!
Search Tool Codename: Zearch!
Some obvious highlights include:
Dynamic map of color-coed listings
Geocoded Rain City Posts
I know the search is addictive because earlier today I showed this to a friend who is in the market to buy a [...]
Cool Real Estate Search for Investors March 15, 2006
I noticed that Robbie has been playing around with the back-end of the home search tool he has developed for Rain City Guide, and it reminded me that I’ve been wanting to highlight one of the cool feature. The search tool allows you to sort your listings based on the price per square foot…
And [...]
How cool is our home search? Ice Cold! February 26, 2006
In case you haven’t dropped by our home search tool recently, we’ve made some improvements. Changes include…
Market Analysis Tool Improvements
We thought it would be helpful, if you could get a second opinion when you get an estimate. So, we’ve made arrangements with Zillow to use their Zestimate web services on our Market Analysis page. That [...]
Real Estate Search is an evil hard problem February 17, 2006
One of my pet peeves about most real estate search sites is that I can’t search on what I want. All of them, ask the same 4 or 5 questions. Where is your house located? How much can you afford? How many bedrooms? Blah, blah, blah..
Well, I’m going to attempt to change that. I want [...]
