We just finished remodeling our website: new photos, new apps, new blog posts. A little video content seemed like a natural addition. Below, you’ll find the story of how a “little video” turned out to be not so little at all. Big decisions, doubts, goals, costs and time questions were suddenly up for discussion. We’ll […]
At the National Association of Realtors midyear conference in May, MLS CEO Shelley Specchio stood up in a crowd of hundreds of fellow MLS executives and announced that one of her members had filed a charge of disability discrimination against her multiple listing service, Northern Nevada Regional MLS.

The real estate industry finds itself at a branding crossroads. The traditional franchise template has turned sour. Many agents find the usual “personality-branded” approach of independent brokerages not that helpful to their businesses. In too many instances, an agent’s choice in brokerage affiliation is one between the lesser of two neutrals, neither of which speaks […]
