Lots of great names here, I just wanted to highlight a few. 
Introducing: 2013 Innovator Awards finalists
Most Innovative Brokerage or Franchise
I was glad to see Estately as a finalist, Galen and his team have been killing it. @properties is another favorite.
Most Innovative MLS or Real Estate Trade Association
East Bay Regional Data, Inc., MLS Listings, Midwest Real Estate Data LLC (MRED), and Metropolitian Regional Information Systems, Inc. (MRIS) just to name a few. I probably shouldn’t weigh in here but from a vendor’s standpoint MRED getting over 4,000 agents to a tradeshow is pretty damn innovative. : )
Most Innovative Real Estate Agent App, Tool or Vendor
Doorsteps (recently acquired by MOVE, Inc.) is a strong contender, but I do hear good things about BuyerMLS as well.
Most Innovative Brokerage or Franchise App, Tool or Vendor.
I like Imprev here, there new stuff is hot, interesting to see Reesio make the cut.
Most Innovative MLS or Real Estate Trade Association App, Tool or Vendor
I think the favorite in this category has to be the Spark Platform. Clareity Store is still getting ready to launch (very curious on how their “portal” approach performs, it’s different from anything I’ve seen). Interesting to see LPS also nominated, they been having a great run since their high rankings on the Clareity MLS survey results.
Most Innovative Digital Real Estate Marketing Campaign or Strategy.
I like Chase “My New Home” app in this race. It caused quite a stir in the industry and I had a lot of friends outside of real estate asking me about the ads.
Most Innovative Use of New Technology
I like Double Robotics. Gives a “virtual tours” a new meaning.
Good luck and best wishes to everyone!
