Moneywise Article Indicts National Real Estate Broker For Listing Fraud
I do not know why Associations and MLSs do not impune this broker’s conduct with sanctions that are in place for this egregious behavior.
Ahead of NAR Settlement Changes, San Diego MLS Partners With The MLS On Checkmate Compliance System
These systems are complex, allowing the MLS to configure playbooks for different types of violations on both images and imputed text.
Why are so many of our strongest Association Executives getting fired?
Today, it is more important than ever that the real estate industry nurtures and protects its best and brightest staff executives. We need people that are thoughtfully helping the industry navigate the uncertain waters we are swimming in right now. I have noticed an alarming trend, though, counter to this need. In the past year or so, many progressive Association Executive leaders have been dismissed without cause, advance notice, or well-documented justification. It seems as though as the market has gotten tougher the number of firings has increased. This alarming trend made me think about a few things that may be lacking in training and governance orchestration we may want to consider.

The 5 Reasons why North Carolina Regional MLS successfully continues its Southeast expansion
The latest Association addition to North Carolina Regional MLS moves the organization beyond the walls of their state and opens them up as one of the MLSs gaining traction in the formation of Southeast MLS collaborations. They are arguable one of, if not the fastest growing MLS in the country when measured by the addition of new Associations and moving beyond contiguous markets. When examining their meteoric expansion, I observed a few lessons that can be leveraged by other markets to deliver brokers the broader data access they are demanding. In my opinion there are five key reasons NCRMLS is successfully expanding to support its brokers and the agents and clients they serve:
WARDEX Launches OneHomeOwner by CoreLogic
The application allows the consumer to manage the systems of homeownership from essential home appliances, getting reminders about preventative maintenance or accessing home-pros curated by the agent (or backed up by business listings).
Cash offers: Accelerating a first-time buyer’s ability to “win the deal”
Higher interest rates, record low inventory, rising home prices, and investors snapping up the most affordable housing – it feels like all the market conditions are working against first-time buyers. Then comes the news that zavvie, teaming with Luminate Home Loans and its NEO Home Loans, has been helping hundreds of first-time buyers (and others) break the bad-news cycle. By giving more buyers the opportunity to buy a home with a cash offer, there is some really good news – especially for first-time buyers. As a former loan officer for 8 ½ years – and from my time at Fannie [...]

Are you treating your MLS subscribers as the Customers they are?
MLSs mistakenly refer to their customers as members. They are NOT members. MLSs are not trade associations. They are technology companies. Have you ever heard Verizon, Apple or AT&T call their subscribers – “members”? Have you ever Starlink or Spectrum call their paid subscribers – “members”? These subscription-based technology companies think of every one of their paid subscribers as customers. They understand that every one of their customers has a choice to pay for their services or not so they continually focus on how to retain their customers
