I’m in Chicago at the iOi Summit.
NAR is going to stream the Pitch Battle live on their LinkedIn feed at 12:45PM PT. Below is list of the participants.
I’m a little biased but check out Tuesday. The founder Cole Boyer is second on the lineup. Each presenter will only have 4 minutes to pitch their product. Should be fun!
“I’ve had the pleasure to personally see all the Thrive speakers present before, and I wanted to bring their combined expertise to California’s elite brokerage community,” said CRMLS CEO and Thrive speaker Art Carter. “There’s a lot of understandable tension in the air about all the changes happening right now. The vision of Thrive Broker Summit is to offer actionable insights and draw a map into the future so that we can all succeed together. As we like to say; adapt through change, thrive with knowledge.”

Great lineup. I’m hearing that this may the first interview Phil Hawkins will be giving since accepting the CEO post at California Association of REALTORS (CAR)
Are you up to date on the recent changes in MLS rules and buyer agency agreements? In this episode, Rob and Greg dive into the controversy surrounding these updates and discuss the ethical implications for agents. From forgery to enforcement, confusion to challenges, this conversation covers a lot of ground. They shed light on the need for a substantive approach to reform in the real estate industry, while addressing the loss of trust between practitioners and those making the rules. With potential compression of commissions and uncertainty about the future of the industry, transparency and strong leadership are more important than ever. Don’t miss this insightful discussion on ethics and transparency in communication within the real estate world.

I think I could come up with 10 reasons why an outsider is the right choice and 10 reasons why an “insider” would be the right choice. But, in the end not having any baggage of any previous relationships in this case is a good thing. As I’m fond of saying, loyalty costs. God speed Ms. Wright.
Heads up: On Wed the 14th, at 2PM PT, The Notorious ROB and I will do a livestream of Industry Relations instead of a pre-recorded release. Join us on YouTube if you want in. We will take your questions and comments on the livestream as well.
MLS’ ain’t playin’
Since a lot of my readers are frequent travelers I think venting here a bit on some of the frustrations of traveling will be well received. I want to focus on a pet peeve of mine, hotel personal hygiene gels. I’m talking about Shampoo, Conditioner, and Body Wash.
For about the last 10 years I’ve been afflicted with the ICSS disease. Meaning, “I Can’t See Shit”. I’m able to see far away but I need readers to read anything with small text. Which is fine most of the time, I have my progressive lenses on my glasses so I’m able to adapt. But one place I don’t wear my glasses is the shower. And in the shower I’m confronted with this.
Can you guess which one is Shampoo and which is Body Wash? It’s bad enough the text is too small for me to read, but the contrast and color choice between the bottle and text is so bad it makes it even more unreadable. See below of a closer look.
Someone should be fired. And don’t get me started with those teeny tiny bottles, the text is too small on those too! So what is a frequent traveler to do? Enter my trusty Sharpie.
To the ownership of the Courtyard by Marriott and their next hotel guest in room number 211, you’re welcome.
