Debra Brady and I are experts at VA-financing. One of the things we do very well is secure a VA condo complex approval for condominiums which aren’t agency approved. Some comments from a recent YELP review: I started the home buying process while still on deployment, and Brian graciously worked with me across 13 time […]
Is the business model of all the Realty.bots daft? It is Citron’s primary thesis that Zillow is a Web 1.0 business presenting itself as a Web 2.0 investment. The entire premise of Web 2.0 is that smart managing and publication of information interactively to users can scale tremendously, while costs remain fixed. But unlike Netflix, […]
First the news about a new organization set to try and take down Realtor.com, Trulia.com, and Zillow.com and replace them with syndication done REALTOR right. Or at the least to compel the syndicators to get the listings right. Now my opinion. I think this is interesting. And I think it will get a LOT MORE […]
A note to the Bloodhounds: I want to come in from the cold. If you know of a biggish Phoenix brokerage that could use my skills and assets, I’d appreciate the referral. –GSS I own a very small boutique real estate brokerage — good reputation, strong good will, clean books, and colossal internet power — […]
Todd Carpenter, the National Association of Realtors’ official In-House Social Media Judas Goat, has announced that he is leaving that charnel house of corruption for the slightly-less-corrupt Trulia.com. Carpenter, who almost immediately proved himself to be much too goaty for the refined nostrils of Michigan Avenue, managed to last three years with the NAR. His […]

Joe Ferrara, Manhattan real estate attorney and founder of Sellsius Real Estate, passed away from an aggressive brain tumor yesterday. Joe, often credited as one of the pioneers of the online real estate community, explained and lampooned our industry from his home site. A ubiquitous presence, Joe offered advice to real estate agents, about online […]
All this week there has been a lot of buzz around the interwebs about Google’s possible acquisition of Yelp.com. The local reviews website has been wildly popular almost everywhere I have been in the country and could stand an image makeover in my humble opinion. One big enhancement could be the business user side to […]
When I was looking into whether or not Realtor.com was publishing scrapable rss feeds based on searches a few weeks ago, I also took a look to see if Trulia was doing the same thing. Sure enough, they are, but of course the quality and the diversity of the types of feeds they’re offering are […]
Per my earlier post regarding the evolution of technology driven real estate solutions, I believe the next generation of buyers and sellers will be more empowered to search, purchase and sell real estate themselves, without the services of a real estate professional. At the highest level, the success of an entirely virtual solution rests in […]
Daniel Rothamel made a UStream video of Todd Carpenter’s appearance yesterday at REBarCamp Virginia. Todd acquitted himself fairly well, only now and then sounding like an oily, evasive politician. His mien was perfect: Middle-management nerd, which is his newly-assigned role. His boss, Hillary Marsh, also spoke, and she was a lot less encouraging. She clearly […]

I know your secret. Honestly…I do. You aren’t knocking the ball out of the park, regardless of your blogging effort. You play around on Twitter, Facebook, Active Rain, and might even comment on Bloodhound Blog. You’re probably REALLY smart and can’t believe that you’re having problems in business. I know you are; I’ve read most […]
[This is the introductory text to an eBook I have prepared discussing the idea of divorcing the real estate commissions, a topic I have discussed here at some length. You can find the eBook by clicking here. If you like, you can post a button linking to this book — there is code at the […]
Lately I have an overwhelming feeling that I have schizophrenia – to those who know me well, they simply ask why it took me so long to figure it out. What happened to the days when searching for a home doubled as a work out? Lugging around 25 lbs MLS catalogues – flipping thru the […]
This is my column for last week from the Arizona Republic (permanent link). What’s the obstacle to a paperless, iPhone-able real estate transaction? The sclerotic real estate industry itself I carry my digital still camera and my Flip video camera with me wherever I go. I have belt-mounted camera cases, so they’re easy to carry, […]
