This isn’t really related to real estate tech, so if that’s what you’re looking for today, you can head elsewhere. Seth Godin’s post yesterday was about Cable News. More specifically, fear and what’s causing it: What if the fear and malaise and anger isn’t merely being reported…

Real estate has traditionally been a lagging industry when it comes to technology. This is because real estate is a “hand shake” type of industry where a lot of the action comes from relationship building. Here are just a few examples: Real estate agents and…

Sotheby’s supports 3-D (Inman paywall article). That’s cool; some buyers will certainly get value from them. Zillow actually did this last year.

Is it just me, or is there not much innovation occurring with IDX these days? Diverse Solutions long had the reputation for being the most innovative IDX vendor, but then sold to Zillow, saw product problems (documented here), and were just recently unloaded to Market Leader. Displet…

Fred Real Estate Group recently put out a A Fresh Approach To Bend video to showcase Bend (& their brokerage of course). Very well done…, and worth watching if you’re contemplating something similar for your brokerage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuIW9-VUc1E
