What a week. The meetings, the parties, the dinners, and the drama is over. Or has it just begun? Here are a few takeaways.
CMLX was a hit!
The Council of MLS'(CMLS) new certification program, CMLX, was held last Tuesday. I spoke to several who attended and the feedback was terrific. I know that a lot of people put a tredmendous amount of effort to get this thing off the ground so congrats to all of them for pulling off a successful program. You can find out more here.
Quote of the week:
“You can’t ever talk about a national MLS without getting into trouble. You can’t talk about the number of associations without getting in to trouble. You cant ever talk about professional standards without getting in to trouble,” Stinton warned. “What I’m here to say on behalf of leadership is we’re ready to get in trouble.”
When I read this quote the first time I had to quickly check VendorAlley.com to see if Dale had stolen the brass balls on the right. They’re still there.
The big news you didn’t hear about.
There was some HUGE news that didn’t break at the conference. I’m surprised that the secret was kept. More on this later in the week.
Unleash the hounds.
Was it confusing to anyone else to hear early in the week that people loudly applauded “taking back realtor.com” to then hear this past weekend NAR may let realtor.com “do more“.
The real reason NAR included MLS public facing websites as a basic service.
This may be obvious to everyone else, but imagine if the NAR Executive Committee amendments stuck and MLS providers could no longer charge members or promote their public facing websites. What would that have meant for realtor.com? Isn’t that NAR’s “public facing website”? Or was that the final goal of big brokers all the time?
Real Estate is back! Lets party.
My thanks to ListHub for throwing a great party. Cloud CMA was a co-sponsor and the party was off the hook!
Speaking of parties…
It’s John Heithaus’ rock and roll fantasy, we just live in it! Once again John’s band got everyone’s groove on at the RETechnology party. Thanks to John and Victor for throwing another great event.
Greg — it was great to see you digging the band and dancing about in your inimitable fashion! And I echo your comments about Melissa and Victor @ RET producing these events. As the band says “if they’re payin’, we’re playin’ ” Thanks for the shout out … rock on! JLH
