The MLS Grid [Sponsor]

My thanks again to The MLS Grid for supporting this month of Vendor Alley. Coming off the news of the elections results of RESO I also want to point out some of the additional benefits The MLS Grid provides the industry.

The Grid is RESO in action! Everything related to The MLS Grid is RESO compliant, from the Web API to the Data Dictionary compliant database.

It’s technology, NOT politics!  The MLS Grid solves a massive technical need in the real estate industry by streamlining broker and vendor access to standardized listing data in a tightly controlled system.

Innovation! The MLS Grid cuts through the red tape and barriers allowing brokers, MLSs and vendors to direct resources toward innovative products.

Lower costs of doing business! Dealing with ONE entity for MLS-wide data feeds will save your business real dollars.

New RESO Board Elections results announced

““The real estate industry is constantly changing and growing, and we need strong leaders to help navigate the wealth of technology at our disposal,” said Rebecca Jensen, President and CEO of Midwest Real Estate Data (MRED), who was re-elected as a director and chosen to return as 2024 Chair of the RESO board. “RESO’s membership elects an amazing group each year, and I am honored to be given the opportunity to continue to help create and enhance standards for an increasingly global housing market.”

Brutal

The Notorious ROB’s six most interesting people in real estate and me.

2023: The Seven Most Interesting People in Real Estate

“The Notorious ROB Interesting List is none of those things, although there are obvious overlaps because I find influence and power to be interesting. It is simply a list of people I find interesting for a variety of reasons. They may or may not be influential, may or may not be powerful, and in fact, you may or may not have heard of them at all. But I find them interesting, and it’s my list. Sunny Hahn and special 2023 advisor Wild Turkey Rare Breed have assisted in this list.”

Rob Hahn, NotoriousRob Substack

I think Rob and Sunny had a bit more Wild Turkey than he is admitting to honor me with a place on this year’s list (#5).

As I said on Twitter, it feels like Eric Clapton told me I was a great guitar player. Thank you my friend.

Lone Wolf gets Better

Lone Wolf invites mortgage lenders onto its broker-agent tech platform

“More than 30 technology companies are already integrated with Transactions, offering services including rental screening, earnest money deposit, commission advances, disclosures, home warranty, home insurance and moving services through the Lone Wolf Marketplace.

Better will be the first mortgage lender to have the same opportunity, with Loan Wolf planning to onboard additional mortgage partners over the next several months.

“Adding this integration to Transactions will bring our customers even more value in their trusted transaction management solution,” Lone Wolf CEO Jimmy Kelly said, in a statement. “When agents and brokers have everything they need for their client experience in one place, they can quickly capitalize on opportunities, cross every T, and dot every I along the way.”

Matt Carter, Inman News

Great to see all the pieces falling in to place. Lone Wolf is way ahead with their marketplace and has the product adoption to show their partners real value.

So proud of this guy
