Been way too swamped with a consulting project lately and haven’t had a chance to blog much (or send out my weekly emails). 🙁
However, that doesn’t mean interesting things haven’t been happening. Here’s just a sliver of the things that have crossed my path recently:
- Brendan gets $3M in funding for MyFrontSteps! A huge, public congrats is in order!
- (month old news): I’m extremely skeptical that anyone will make progress on the transaction front when they require people to change their behavior, but I’m wishing N-Play well because I like the founder, Mark Bloomfield.
- Agent Bloggers: Take the survey or Ben is going to be forced to eat lovely salads for a week!
- Roost expands to Seattle (and San Francisco!)
- The neighborhood analytics have been very well implemented by Redfin! Great feature
- StellarBid is looking to base the size of the commission on performance
- Do you think they see the irony of naming themselves after an event that many blame on agents?
- Share your home search with friends/family/agents. Love it!
By the way, this blog post is very similar to the emails I (normally) send out on a weekly basis. If you want to get a weekly update on what’s going on in online real estate, simple subscribe using the widget on the 4realz.net sidepanel!
Thanks for the mention Dustin. We launched in New England yesterday as well. Covering all of Vermont and New Hampshire and the northern part of Massachusetts and Western Maine. http://www.roost.com
“Bellevue Bubble” is a terrible name unless you think there was one or is one or one burst or one’s about to burst. Most of the blogs with “bubble” in the title are really negative.
Marlow, I was definitely surprised at the name…
LOL. I hate rabbit food.
I just now watched the NPlay commercial – the agent with the giant name tag makes me think of that Progressive (I think?) car insurance commercial where the saleslady notes that with all the money you save you can buy a “big tricked out name tag…” HEE!
